Did your school have any horror stories?

I remember their was a rumor in middle school that someone had died in our school and I used to kinda laugh it off as bs until our gym teacher got real melancholy and admitted it was actually true. A guess a kid back in the 80s I think was crushed by a falling stage prop in the gym, from what I understand.

Dude in high school auto shop was working under a car lifted on a jack instead of supported by jack stands like it shoulda been. The jack slipped, car dropped, and his head was crushed under the brake drum. Several students witnessed it and teacher had a breakdown and quit teaching.

My grandmother knew a boy she was supposed to graduate with that was struck by lightning on a lake while in an aluminum row boat. I think two of his family members were with him in the boat, but ironically lived. @Luchs

I’ve always wondered how I’m gonna go, mainly because I’ve had some close calls. My dad saved me from almost getting run over by a snowmobile that whizzed by us like a bullet when I was a teenager. He saw it coming at the last second. @Luchs

@Thebestof1995 I don't give it too much thought. I know I don't have to go searching for it, it'll find me. It'll probably be underwhelming. Like Doc Holliday dying in a sanitarium after living through gunfights.
