I think they are more like legends. The Raffles Institution has a rich history and over time, students and staff might have created these stories for fun or to add a bit of mystery to the place. For example, the so - called ghostly apparitions could be misinterpreted shadows or just the result of the old, creaky building making strange noises at night.
There are rumors of a ghostly teacher who still roams the classrooms. According to the story, this teacher was very strict in life and now his apparition can be sensed especially during exam times, as if still overseeing the students' work. This might be just a story made up by students to add some mystery to the institution, but it has been passed down for years.
The main characters are, of course, Raffles, Holmes, and Jenkins. Raffles is often depicted as a bit of a rogue, Holmes is the brilliant detective, and Jenkins can be a supporting character who might provide some comic relief or important information at crucial times.
There might be a fan fiction where Raffles Holmes Jenkins embarks on a journey to a far - off land. In this story, they encounter various strange cultures and have to use their wits to survive and also uncover some hidden secrets about their own pasts. This type of story can explore their characters in new and exciting ways.
