In all likelihood, no. While it's fun to tell and listen to these horror stories, there's usually a scientific or practical explanation for the so - called spooky happenings. For example, the flickering lights could be due to faulty wiring, and the cold spots might be caused by poor insulation in certain areas of the building. People tend to add a supernatural element to ordinary things in such an environment.
Probably not. Most ghost stories are just products of people's overactive imaginations.
One horror story is about a strange figure seen in the old corridors at night. People say it just glides along without making a sound.
There's a rumor that in the old part of the UST main building, a strange moaning sound can be heard at midnight. Some believe it's the spirit of a former student who met an untimely death there. Apparently, this student was very attached to the building and his presence lingers. The moaning is said to be his way of expressing his continued connection to the place.
In one instance, a UST file was transferred between two computers. But during the transfer, the file got split into pieces. It was as if something had intentionally broken it. The user had to spend days trying to piece it back together using some complex software tools.
Miscommunication between doctors and nurses is common. For example, one doctor might order a certain test but the nurse forgets to pass on the message. Another is about billing issues. Patients get overcharged or charged for services they didn't receive. And then there are cases of lost patient records, which can lead to major problems in treatment.
The history behind the supposed horror can be very frightening. If there's a story about a tragic event that happened in the past at UST, like the librarian's death, and it seems to be repeating or haunting the present, it creates a feeling of dread. It makes people think that the past can't be escaped and that there are forces from the past that are still lingering and causing harm.
Yes, there are some. People say they've heard strange noises at night, like footsteps in the empty hallways. It gives a spooky feeling as if there are unseen presences wandering around.
One of the scariest is about a phantom librarian. Legend has it that at midnight, you can hear the sound of books being shelved and a faint voice whispering the names of long - forgotten books.
Some UST ghost stories might be based on real events that got distorted over time. For example, a strange noise heard in an old building could have been due to a faulty pipe, but as the story was passed down, it became a ghost - related occurrence.
There was a case where a UST file was hacked. Sensitive information was stolen from it. The owner of the file had no idea how it happened at first. It turned out that there was a security flaw in the system that stored the UST file. This led to a lot of problems, like identity theft and reputational damage.
