There was a situation where a teacher's personal photos were leaked on Tumblr without her permission. These photos were taken in her private life and were meant to be just for her friends and family. Once they were on Tumblr, students started to find them. It made the teacher feel extremely violated. She had to deal with the embarrassment and also worry about how it would affect her job. She reported it, but it was difficult to get all the copies of the photos removed from the site.
One common element is false accusations. Just like in the previous example where a teacher was wrongly accused of being unfair on Tumblr. Another element could be privacy invasion, such as when a teacher's personal information or photos are leaked. Also, cyberbullying is a big part. Teachers getting mean and untrue comments that can really harm their mental state and professional reputation.
One Tumblr DM horror story I heard was about a user who received a series of anonymous DMs. The messages started with simple, creepy statements like 'I'm watching you.' As time went on, the messages became more detailed, mentioning things only the user thought they knew. It turned out to be an ex - friend who had hacked into another account to stalk and scare them.
One major theme is the teacher's inability to control the classroom. There are stories where the classroom is chaotic because the teacher doesn't enforce rules. Also, some teachers are overly strict in a wrong way. They focus more on punishing students for minor things rather than guiding them to improve. Additionally, there are stories about teachers who are not up - to - date with the subject matter, so they teach incorrect information or use very old - fashioned methods that don't resonate with modern students.
There was a Vine video that went viral on Tumblr. It showed a girl in an old, abandoned house. She was smiling creepily and whispering words that no one could understand. As the video spread, those who watched it at night started having nightmares. In their dreams, the girl would come closer and closer. Eventually, it was discovered that the house in the video had a tragic history of murders, and the girl was rumored to be the spirit of one of the victims.
There was this Penny on Tumblr. She was into exploring abandoned places and would post pictures of them. One day, she visited an old asylum. She took a photo and posted it. After that, she noticed a figure in the photo that wasn't there when she took it. The figure seemed to be getting closer in every photo she had of that place. Then, she started having nightmares about the asylum. In her dreams, she was trapped there with that figure chasing her. It got so bad that she stopped using Tumblr altogether to try and escape the horror.
I had a dating horror story on Tumblr. There was this person who sent me really intense messages all the time. They claimed to be in love with me within just a few days of chatting. It got really creepy when they started showing up at places they knew I'd be. I had to block them in the end. It was so scary how they seemed to be stalking me just because of a few online conversations.
