5 True High School Horror Stories

I remember back when I was in high school during my junior year a new kid joined two of my classes about Midway through the semester it was the first semester of the school year and out of nowhere he was just in my class one day his name was Justin and he sat next to me in one of the classes because there happened to be an open seat I didn't really know where he had come from or why he had suddenly started going to my school but as the semester went on I sort of became friends

with him we didn't really have much in common and he seemed a little bit weird but we did sit next to each other in a class and also had the other class together so he would often talk to me during class and we would sometimes talk in the other one as well overall I never knew him very well I did ask him a few questions about himself for example I asked him what school he had come from before my school I also asked him if he had just moved to the area he named a school

that I had never heard of before and said that he had recently moved there but aside from that he didn't really share much about himself still I was friendly with him and I didn't mind talking to him here and there he did get a little bit annoying though because during the class where we sat next to each other he would make a lot of comments I figured that I might be one of the first people that he met in our city though after probably like 2 or 3 weeks of him going to the school he

invited me to hang out he said that I should come over to his house that night around 7 or 8 at first in my head I wasn't really sure if I wanted to but I said yes because I realized I may as well hang out with him at least once after school I went home and then he texted me at some time that night to come over he gave me his address and I got directions to go there I had a car at this point and I drove to Justin's house which took took maybe 10

minutes he lived in a neighborhood that was not the greatest but had a lot of smaller houses in it I parked and then texted Justin that I was there he did not respond right away so I got out of the car and then walked to the front door and knocked on it there was no response for at least a minute I texted Justin again and he told me to come inside so I opened the door which was unlocked and then went in after getting inside of his house at first first it seemed like nobody was

home basically all the lights were off and I did not think that his parents were there I called out saying hi but didn't hear anything back at all but there was what appeared to be a door leading to the basement that was open a little so I took a couple of steps inside of his house and then I started to hear a noise it sounded like a TV or maybe a video game but I could barely hear it and it was coming from far away when I got closer to the basement door I realized that's

where the sound sound was coming from I figured Justin must be playing video games down in the basement because I knew that he liked to play COD I started heading down the basement stairs the farther down I got the louder the noises were and I knew Justin had to be there however it was completely dark down there and I literally could barely see anything I didn't know where the light switches were or anything so I just followed the sounds soon I made it to the bottom of the stairs and headed to what looked like a

hallway I could only see some edges of the walls as I was walking over there I loudly asked Justin where he was and said that I was there but I didn't get a response which seemed kind of weird a few seconds after that as I was walking I suddenly felt myself getting shoved from behind I was pushed so hard that I fell forward onto the ground after falling down I heard some laughter from whoever pushed me I looked but it was so dark that I couldn't see who it was they also qu quickly moved away

and I started to get to my feet but then I was pushed again from behind then when I was down I got kicked in the legs I heard more laughter from whoever this was I quickly got to my feet again and this time ran away to try to go back to the stairs I heard somebody else moving down there and I tried my best not to run into anything I never thought to take out my phone and use it for light or anything but I also didn't really have much time for that after running back

towards the stairs I was luckily able to make it I sort of tripped over the first part of the stairs but I caught myself I then ran up and left the house I ran all the way back to my car and then drove home I texted Justin when I got back asking him what on Earth that was all about he didn't respond though the next day was a Saturday so we didn't have school and the following Monday he was in class however I did not feel like saying anything to him and just ignored him and

he did the same to me normally he would talk to me and was bored orderline annoying because I didn't really have much interest in many of the things he would talk about this day he said nothing at all and it remained that way for the next few days as well and randomly after that he just wasn't in class anymore he must have changed schools again or something and I never saw him again I still wonder what went on in his basement I believe that was him pushing me and it makes me angry I'm glad that

I was able to get away though this is something that happened back when I was in high school I'm a female and was a senior during this time school got out every day at 2:40 p.m. during this time for about 10 minutes it would just be crazy on campus the school was fairly large and everybody would be scrambling to get out of there the locker comments and hallways were very crowded and then everybody body would leave the school but one day I was able to leave school early I was in an advanced class during the

final period of the day and it only had about 15 students in it we had a really big test that day and that was the only thing that we had when we finished our teacher said that if we drove ourselves to school we could just leave most of the time even if there was nothing to do in class in high school the teacher would not let you leave until the Bell so this was really nice and I got done with my test about 10 minutes before the class would normally get out I left the classroom

and then went to my locker then I walked out to the parking lot during this time I parked in the main students parking lot which was at the West end of the school and also sort of behind it after leaving the school I was walking to my car and it was strange to be leaving without tons of other people around normally there was hundreds of kids going to their cars and there would be a traffic jam to leave campus but now I could actually take my time I remember looking around but when I did I

noticed something a little weird there was a small wooded area at the back corner of the parking lot behind it and there was a man standing there to the side of a tree he was looking in my direction and he was wearing sunglasses it looked pretty strange because it seemed like he was coming out of the woods the guy was too old to be a student as well I looked back to him and he then moved behind a tree and out of my sight I continued to my car and then got inside and drove home

I didn't think much more about it after that but the next day after school I was walking to my car again this time I left school at the normal time with everybody else and there were tons of other people around when I was walking to my car for some reason I happened to remember the previous day and seeing the weird guy in the woods maybe it was just because I was walking to my car again but I decided to look over to the woods once more thinking there was no chance that the guy would be

there again but he actually was the same guy was in the same exact spot and it was really hard to notice him or see him at all unless you were looking for him he was halfway behind a tree I was wondering who on Earth this guy was and what he was doing I kept looking at him as I walked to my car and the guy seemed to actually be looking at me soon though he disappeared behind a tree again after that I continued to my car and drove home it was really strange but I didn't

think too much more about it until the next day this time when I was leaving school I knew to look to the spot but I didn't see the guy this time he was not there like he had been the last couple of days the next strange thing to happen was when I left school to drive home maybe two days after that I was driving back and noticed that this one car followed me almost the entire time I didn't notice it until maybe about halfway there was a smaller black sedan that was driving behind me not

really close or anything thing but the car did stick with me going into the area where I live which was normally very quiet I lived in a large neighborhood but it was also a very quiet neighborhood I had to make several turns in the very residential area and we were the only two cars on the road I looked back and noticed that the driver was wearing sunglasses could this be the same man I didn't know but it did seem strange at my street I turned onto it and so did the car following me I wasn't

sure what to do at the time I just drove to my house and pulled into the driveway luckily the car did not pull in after me and it kept going I was very relieved I went inside after that for the next few hours things went by pretty normally that evening though I was in my bedroom sitting at my desk there was a window in my bedroom which looked out to the front yard and the street I remember noticing that there was a guy walking down the street it didn't take long until I recognized him he

was wearing sunglasses and it appeared to be the same man who was at my school and probably followed me home he was slowly walking sort of down our street and I noticed him looking in the direction of our house when I realized this I left my bedroom and found my parents in the living room I told them the whole story of everything they went to look out of a front window after that now at this point I expected the man to be long gone but when we looked out of the window he was actually still

in in sight he was walking by now on the other side of the street very slowly my dad then left the house and started walking over to the guy I couldn't hear what was being said but it sounded like my dad was yelling at the man and then I saw the guy start sprinting away he went down the street and out of sight my dad came back in after that and said that the guy got away from him after that the man did not come back towards our house again and I never saw him at

the school either but I did report him to my school counselor so if the guy ever returned he probably would be caught I really don't know who he was but I'm glad that I saw him out of my window that night or who knows what would have happened this is back when I was a High School freshman I remember that during this time I would get a ride to school with my older brother who was a c here we both played sports but different ones so one day maybe a couple of months into the school

year we both had practice but mine was early after school and my brother's was later when my practice got done that day it was probably like 5:00 p.m. and my brother's practice was still going all my teammates left except for one one of my good friends on the team Jack was in a similar situation his brother was also practicing we sat around and were talking outside the gym areas for a while then we got bored and decided to walk around school had been done for hours so at this point everybody was gone and the place

was almost completely empty we started just talking and walking around random hallways just kind of wandering around we were both freshmen and still fairly new to the school but knew most of the place pretty well I remember after walking around for a while we found this staircase that neither of us knew about it was in an older wing of the school and there were doors in front of the stairway but one of the doors was open we were both curious so we walked inside and started going down the stairs they led to I guess what

was the basement of the school I wasn't even aware that the school had a basement at the time I was thinking it probably wasn't used for anything except maybe storage when we both got down there it was really dark most of the lights were off but we found this one switch and a few lights to the hallway turned on it was basically just one hallway with a few rooms in it we walked down it and we're just looking around I think we were both just surprised that we even had a basement in our school we

were talking to each other and just looking around when towards the end of the hallway we heard a door open this really startled us because we had no idea that anybody else was down here I mean all the lights had been off and this place didn't really seem like it was in you the next thing that I knew this guy walked out from a room and into the hallway we both didn't know who this guy was and did not recognize him he clearly did not work for the school he was wearing nothing that would indicate

that he was a custodian either the guy had really short hair and was wearing a t-shirt and jeans he looked out at us but did not say anything then after us both staring at each other for a few moments the man started walking in our Direction the way that he was walking was sort of aggressive if that makes any sense as he was approaching he told us to come to him we both had a bad feeling about it though and just turned around and quickly went back upstairs after we had made it to the top

we both went away from that hallway the man did not come upstairs and remained in the basement we continued to walk far away for the next 20 minutes or so we walked up and down random empty hallways and talked what about what had happened soon though we got curious and decided to head back not to go into the basement but just to see into the hallway when we returned both of the doors leading to the basement were shut I actually tried to open one but it wouldn't open and seemed to be locked we then walked

away and headed back over towards the gyms we then waited there until our brothers were done with practice after that happened I wondered who the guy was and what he was doing down there I never saw him again I also wasn't aware of the basement area being in any sort of use to the school during my entire time there and I never went back down there again for some background I'm a female and was a junior in high school at the time of this story the school I went to was fairly large and had lots

of other students I would say that I had a decent amount of other friends and my locker was near several of them each grade kind of had their lockers together in a certain area the Juniors were in a large Locker common area near the science department it was sort of at one end of the school so the story really begins one day when I was at my locker in between classes none of my friends were really around at that time and there was a little space between me and everybody else it would get extremely crowded

during some times of the day there so much so that it was hard to even open the lockers sometimes it was nice that it wasn't busy this time but then I noticed that there was this guy standing near my locker I had never seen him before and wasn't sure where he had come from I assumed that he was a senior because he looked older he approached me when I was at my locker and said hi then he proceeded to start a conversation with me he asked me to skip class and leave school with him saying

we could hang out now I didn't even know this guy and I took School very serious so I did not want to skip I told him no I had to go to class and I said that he should do the same he asked me to hang out with him after school then and I said no I was busy I really did not want to hang out with him at all and was not interested I then left the guy and said that I had to go to class now he was still at my locker when I

walked away for the rest of that school day I didn't see him but the next day he was back I got done with the class and went to my locker only to find him there he was standing right in front of bit kind of blocking it from me I asked him to move and he started asking to hang out again he knew my name somehow and I kept telling him that I didn't want to hang out luckily this time some of my friends were around when he didn't move several of them asked him and he

finally did after he left I asked my friends who he was and none of them knew anything about him we all just assumed that he was a senior and I just hoped that he would leave me alone well later that day after after school I was stopping at my locker before going home when I did the same guy was there this time he asked if I needed to ride home and of course I said no I drove to and from school every day he tried convincing me but I just walked away from him then I

left school now after this I did not see him for a while but I found out that he did not even go to our school apparently he had tried getting several other girls to hang out with him as well one of them reported him for harassment after he apparently followed her into a restroom that's when they found out he wasn't a student nobody really knew who he was until like a week or two later one of my friends showed me this news story online it was of an attempted kidnapping of a local woman which luckily

the woman got away the man was caught and I saw that it was the same guy it turns out he was 23 and not even in high school at all no wonder he looked older I really couldn't believe it and I feel grateful that everybody ended up being all right and that the man was caught I used to walk to and from school every day this was when I was in high school and during my freshman in sophomore years obviously I didn't have my driver's license yet but I also didn't like to ride the bus

we luckily lived close enough that I could walk to school and we lived in a warmer climate where the winters were very mild it would take me about 15 minutes to walk to the school and I had no problem with it at all we lived in a residential neighborhood and I would take a couple of sidewalks to the high school that was basically it most days I would walk all by myself and at 7:00 in the morning things were very quiet the roads were not very busy either other than the occasional car passing by one

morning morning I was walking to school like any other day I would say that I was about halfway there when I heard a vehicle approaching to this point there had been maybe a few cars here and there driving by but I didn't really notice so this car I did notice because it started driving closer to me and slow like it was going to pull over and then surprisingly it did pull over I looked over to the car wondering who it was the window rolled down and there was a man behind the wheel he asked me

if I could use a lift to class clearly I knew better than to get a ride from a stranger and I said no the man said something like it was probably a really long walk but I still said no thanks at that point he did drive away I walked the rest of the way wondering if the man could have been dangerous or if he was just trying to be nice he should know better though than to offer random high school kids rides so after school that day I was walking home this was the very same

day so I was by by myself from the sidewalk and when I was nearing my neighborhood but still a few minutes away a car approached again I didn't really think to notice if it was the same one but I soon realized that it was the car slowed down and went about as slow as I was walking once more a man rolled down the window and when I looked I noticed that it was the same guy he then asked me if I needed a ride I told him no again I did not need to ride he

said okay and then drove off I really couldn't believe that the guy had tried to get me me to go into his car before and after school obviously I was hoping that I would never see him again but that was not the case the very next morning I was walking to school now looking back it's easy to say that I should have told somebody and I should have took more precautions but for some reason being a young high schooler I thought the man would not be back I figured he would have gotten the hint and

the previous day would probably be the only day that I would see him so as I walked to school on this morning I was about halfway there and I saw a car pass me by which looked like the man's car I got a bad feeling the car passed me though and for a moment I felt relieved but then the car pulled over to the side of the road about 40 or 50 ft in front of me and this time it completely pulled over it stopped and it looked like the engine was turning off I had

a terrible feeling it seemed as though the man may get out so I quickly turned and went into a random person's front yard the Sun was still sort of rising so it was mostly dark out I then went into the neighbor's backyard and then cut through a few more properties I knew the area really well and I continued to cut through more people's yards and take random streets I was able to make it all the way to school like that and did not see the man or his car for the rest of the way when

I got to school I called my mom and told her about it and I also told all my school friends throughout the day everybody was concerned for me and said that I should not walk home that day my mom was working and offered to leave her job early but I was able to get a ride with my friend Amanda so after school I rode on Amanda's bus with her and went to her house the bus didn't go to my house at all because we had told the school that I was not going to be using

it so I wasn't assigned to a bus at all so my mom picked me up from Amanda's and then we contacted the school so I could be on a bus after that I rode the bus to and from school every day for the rest of the semester then I was a bble to get my driver's license and drove to school for the rest of my high school career luckily I never saw that man again
