Haunted Cincinnati: I am here today with the longtime
Janitor of the Dent School House who allegedly has been involved in the
numerous disappearances that have plagued the school through the years.
Haunted Cincinnati: I have heard that Charlie is your name. Do you have
a last name?
The Janitor: I have a real one and one that the media calls me. My real
name is Charlie McFree. The media calls me “The Janitor”, but I consider
myself a master of janitor arts.
Haunted Cincinnati: I read somewhere that you are 99 years old can you
comment on that?
The Janitor: I have been at the school house since 1894 as the master of
janitorial arts and you were 42 at the time.
Haunted Cincinnati: Let’s see that would make you about 154 years old?
The Janitor: Once you get past 100 you don’t ask a man about his age.
Haunted Cincinnati: How did you get into the janitorial field?
The Janitor: I idolized the janitor at the school I attended. He a
little soft, but still a great cleaner.
Haunted Cincinnati: Sorry, what happened with you and the house?
The Janitor: Everyone makes it out that I am the bad guy. Here is what
really happened. A couple of snot nosed brats were getting out of line
causing problems for the principal. Pretty much causing a bad learning
environment. The principal talked to me and told me that I should talk
to the boys and try to talk some sense into them. There was an
announcement over the loudspeaker asking the boys to come see me in the
basement. I don’t exactly remember how many kids came down, after awhile
the deaths run together. I took care of the problem… Permanently.
Haunted Cincinnati: What is your weapon of choice?
The Janitor: Well now what are we talking about cleaning or killing?
Haunted Cincinnati: How about both?
The Janitor: Pipe Wrench and a Mop
Haunted Cincinnati: So you killed people with a mop?
At this point the janitor game me an evil look and was obviously not
amused
Haunted Cincinnati: Do you live at the old school house?
The Janitor: Yes, I have a really nice spot in the house. Stop by
sometime and I will cook up a batch of my famous roach stew.
Haunted Cincinnati: Sounds Wonderful!
Another evil look and it appears that the janitor is even more angry
Haunted Cincinnati: How did you get away with all of the murders?
The Janitor: Simply put killing and cleaning is easy. The only thing
that gave me away was the smell. I took little vacation when things got
hot, but now I’m back and ready to resume my position.
Haunted Cincinnati: I have seen your room, and you would think that
someone who is such a neat freak would have taken better care of his own
room.
Stares at interview with an open mouth and stands up and grabs a broom
and throws it at interviewer.
The Janitor: I would like to see you do better after having to put up
with 75 snot nosed brats garbage everyday.
Haunted Cincinnati: But, hasn’t the school been closed for 65 years?
The Janitor: Listen sonny, with the amount of killing that has been done
around here. There is always a lost spirit making a mess of my clean
hallways.
Haunted Cincinnati: Your face appears to be a solid mass of burns were
you in a fire?
The Janitor: *Huffs, bites his lip and stares for a long time at me*
I think that for a man over 100 years old I look pretty damn good. I
think I smell a good killin’ and then some cleaning coming on *deep
laughter and uncomfortable smile*
Haunted Cincinnati: I think that this will pretty much bring an end to
this interview. Thank you very much.
The Janitor: No, Thank you and I will expect you to come down for your
roach stew one of these days.
Haunted Cincinnati: If you are still breathing I wouldn’t hold your
breath….
Recently The Haunted Cincinnati crew stopped out
at the new and improved Dent haunted house. We spoke with the janitor to see
how he plans to keep the haunt scene clean.
