There are tales of strange noises coming from the abandoned dormitory wing. It's as if there are people walking around, but when investigated, there's no one there. Some students think it might be the spirits of past students who are still lingering in the place. This makes it really scary to go near that area, especially at night.
One of the common ghost stories is about a lady in white seen in the old hallways. It's said she was a former student who had an untimely death. Students claim to have seen her figure gliding through the corridors at night.
Some might be superstitions. But in old buildings like that of St Scholastica's College Manila, there could be natural explanations that seem spooky. For example, the strange noises could be due to old pipes or the building settling. However, the fact that so many students have similar experiences makes one wonder if there could be some truth to the ghostly tales.
The old architecture of the college. The dimly lit hallways and the ancient buildings create an eerie atmosphere that makes the ghost stories seem more believable.
There was a story where a group of students decided to explore an old dormitory that was said to be haunted. As they entered, the temperature dropped suddenly. They started to see things move on their own, like books flying off the shelves. One of the students felt a cold hand touch their shoulder and they all ran out in panic. It turned out that the dormitory had a tragic history in the past which might be the reason for these strange happenings.
One of the terrifying ones could be the story about the haunted house. The protagonist enters the old, dilapidated house and strange things start to happen. Shadows move on their own and there are unexplained noises. Another could be the story of the cursed object. Once someone touches it, they are haunted by nightmares and misfortunes.
There are webcam horror stories where users received anonymous messages with pictures from their own webcam. It turns out their webcam security was breached. Some people also reported seeing their webcam light turn on randomly when they were sure they hadn't activated it. This made them feel violated as if someone was watching them. It's a huge privacy concern.
The most terrifying element is often the sense of the unknown. In St Scho horror stories, like the mysterious figure in the corridor, not knowing who or what it is creates a lot of fear.
In some colleges, there are strict attendance policies. A friend of mine had to miss a class due to a family emergency. Despite providing proper documentation, the teacher still marked them absent and deducted points from their final grade. This made it really difficult for my friend to maintain a good GPA and they were constantly worried about their academic standing.
One horror story could be about a student who lived in a really old dorm. At night, they would hear strange scratching noises on the walls. Every time they tried to find the source, there was nothing there. It turned out that there were rats in the walls, but the sound was so eerie that it felt like something out of a horror movie.
The story of the Enfield Poltergeist is truly terrifying. In Enfield, London, a family was haunted by a poltergeist. Furniture moved on its own, children were levitated, and there were unexplained noises. The events were witnessed by many, including some investigators. Also, there's the story of the Dybbuk Box. A box that was said to be haunted by a Dybbuk, a malevolent spirit in Jewish folklore. People who came into contact with it reported nightmares, strange smells, and feelings of being watched.
