That's such an interesting perspective! And it's the first time I've seen this situation in this way. Thank you 🙏 I hadn't thought that it could by my mind trying to make sense of something so unusual or far from this reality.
The mind is complicatedly complex... this reminds me of cases where traumatic memories of children sometimes get buried unconsciously. As a form of defense mechanism that blocks pain or changes the course of events to make the happenings easier to grasp.
I don't know any local hypnotherapists who could help me, but thanks for suggesting that. I might just start searching. The closest I have done to hypnotherapy is some kind of pre-recorded guided regression, so I feel reassured knowing I've had some experience with it already!
Also, I should have suggested making a report about what you experienced even though it happened years ago. There are groups that investigate the paranormal and there might be one in the area that the school is in. Even though it is a "cold case" there might already be one or more reports about something paranormal occuring at that school. Even if there aren't if someone reports a paranormal experience at the school in the future they'll also have your report to look for any pattern that might exist.
