When the Gates Close at Night: A collection of high school ghost stories

We all carry fragments of our high school days-
That first flutter of a crush, the laughter of friendships forged in teenage fire, and the first dreams we ever dared to name. For many, those years glow with memory's warm light.

But not all memories are kind.

Beneath the cheerful clamor of bells and classrooms lies something else: a silence that remembers. The school we once called our second home hides whispers in its walls. Ancient stone foundations, cracked and weathered, have seen things best left unseen. Empty hallways echo with footsteps that don't belong. And comfort rooms, cold and dim, sometimes reflect more than just our faces.

These are the stories students tell in hushed voices-of shadows that linger after the final bell, of figures glimpsed in dark windows, and secrets sealed behind locked doors.

This is a carefully gathered collection of high school ghost stories, drawn from real-life encounters. These tales live in the twilight between memory and myth-haunting the empty halls after the lights go out and the gates have groaned shut for the night.
