What are the most common elements in outrageous school horror stories?

Well, often there are elements like forbidden areas. You know, places in the school that students are not supposed to go, like an old basement or an attic. These areas are usually filled with mystery and danger in the stories. And then there's the idea of a tragic past, like a student who died in an accident or was bullied to death in the school. Their spirits are then said to haunt the place. There's also the use of the power going out at the most inconvenient times, leaving students in the dark and vulnerable.

One outrageous school horror story is about a haunted school building. Students would often hear strange noises at night, like footsteps in the empty hallways. Some even claimed to see a shadowy figure. It was so terrifying that many students were afraid to stay late for extra - curricular activities.

Ghosts are very common. Like the spirits of students or teachers who died on campus. Another element is old, abandoned places in the school such as basements or attics. These places are often seen as spooky and are the settings for many horror stories.

Dark and isolated places like basements or empty classrooms are common. For example, an old storage room in the basement where things seem to move on their own.

Poor facilities are very common. As I mentioned before, bad buildings and lack of teaching materials are often part of these stories.

Ghosts or spirits are frequently in rural high school horror stories. Since rural areas often have a lot of local legends and superstitions, these can be incorporated into the school's horror tales. Also, nature can play a part. Like a spooky forest near the school where students are afraid to go because they believe there are supernatural entities there. Sometimes, the story might involve a student who disappeared in that forest years ago.

One of the most common elements is when the exam content doesn't match what was taught in class or what students prepared for. It could be that the professor decides to focus on a very small, overlooked part of the curriculum. Also, technical issues can be a big part of horror stories. Like if there are problems with the test software or if the room is too noisy or uncomfortable to concentrate properly.

Hazing is quite common. Seniors might make juniors do demeaning tasks like cleaning their boots with a toothbrush. It's humiliating and scary for the new cadets.

One common one is getting lost in a new, big school. It can be really scary when you're trying to find your classes and you keep ending up in the wrong hallways. It makes you feel so alone and panicked.

Well, having to deal with difficult patients during clinical rotations can be a horror story. There was a student who was verbally abused by a patient just because he was a medical student. The patient didn't trust him and shouted at him in front of the whole ward.
