Old schools in England, Scotland and Wales keep many secrets. Students of several generations tell each other the legends about ghosts and ghosts that still live there.
The heroes of the horror stories that modern schoolchildren love to tell each other on Halloween are mentors and nuns, students and elderly ladies. And strange sounds and visions frighten many to this day.
