Can you share some middle school spooky stories?

One Halloween, there was a rumor going around middle school that a ghost was seen in the attic of the school building. Some of us were brave enough to go up there. It was dark and dusty. We didn't see any ghost, of course, but the anticipation and the creepy atmosphere made it a memorable experience.

Sure. There was a story in a middle school where during halloween, students noticed that the portraits in the hallway seemed to be watching them. One girl was so freaked out that she ran. Later, it was found out that some of the other students had used some simple trickery with mirrors to make it seem like the portraits were moving.

Sure. There's 'The Lottery' which has a very disturbing ending. In a small town, they have an annual lottery, but it's not a normal lottery. It turns out to be a sacrifice. 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' also fits. A man is about to be hanged during the Civil War and has a series of hallucinations that are quite spooky. And 'Ligeia' by Poe, which tells the story of a man obsessed with his first wife, Ligeia, and the strange events that occur after her death.

Here's one. In a boarding school, there was a rumor of a ghost in the attic. One brave student went up there and found that it was just an old rocking chair that would move when the wind blew through a broken window. The creaking sound had scared everyone. It was all just a misunderstanding, but it made for a great spooky story among the students.

Sure. Once in my middle school, there was a boy who accidentally wore his pajama pants to school because he got dressed in a hurry. Everyone noticed but he didn't until the teacher pointed it out during class. It was so hilarious.

There was a girl in middle school who really loved art. But her school cut the art program due to budget issues. She was heartbroken as art was her passion and her way of expressing herself. She felt like a part of her world was taken away from her.

There was this story in a middle school. There was a locked attic that no one was supposed to go to. A group of curious students managed to find a way in. Once inside, they found old, dusty desks and books. But then, they heard a door slam shut behind them. They were trapped and started to hear whispers. They were really scared until they finally found a small window to climb out of.

Well, I know a middle school depression story. A girl in middle school was going through family problems. Her parents were constantly fighting and on the verge of divorce. At school, she couldn't focus on her studies. She felt lonely and sad all the time. She began to have trouble sleeping and her grades dropped significantly. Eventually, she was diagnosed with depression. There are also cases where students feel left out in the social circle in middle school, which can also be a cause for depression.

In my old middle school, there was a fight between a group of students from different grades. It seemed that some of the older students were bullying a younger one. But the younger one had some brave friends who stood up for him. It turned into a chaotic fight until the school authorities showed up. After that, the school had a lot of meetings to prevent such things from happening again. They emphasized respect and anti - bullying rules.

One middle school activism story is about students campaigning for better school lunches. They noticed the lack of healthy options and started a petition. They presented it to the school board and managed to get some changes, like adding more fresh fruits and vegetables.
