Okay, so if you read manga, and some of those manga take place in a high school, then you've probably run across the "Seven Mysteries of (Insert Name) School." They're seven ghost stories that show up a lot. Popular ones are the undead anatomy model, the thirteen steps of death, and so on.

Well! You are a member of the Furinkan High School Occult Society. The President of the Society has called on the members to assemble the definitive list of those Seven Mysteries. As such, it is your duty to the Society to report any especially good ghost stories you've heard.

So far, some of the more well-known mysteries:

Title: Betty.
Description: Dr. Tofu donated his model skeleton, Betty, to the biology department. Then he disappeared. Since then, according to legend, Betty dances the halls at night.
Reality: It's not Betty, it's actually an entirely different ghost that just dances with Betty.

Title: The Ginko Tree
Description: Somewhere on campus, there is a ginko tree, that was probably planted by the Medicinal Plants Club before the previous Principal had them disbanded for illegally selling products on the black market. Anyway the ginko tree has a manji carved in it, that's supposed to be the symbol of where the last president of the Medicinal Plants Club hung himself while tripping on acid. On a moonless night, his ghost can be found underneath the tree.
Reality: The last president of the Medicinal Plants Club is still alive, and an executive in Big Pharma. His club didn't plant the tree. It's not a manji in the tree, but a swastika, carved by an expatriate Nazi during WW2. Also the ghost is Hitler.

Title: Jadeite
Description: A recent Russian deep polar submarine expedition found an underground cavern beneath the North Pole. This is the "Dark Kingdom," which is apparently related to that business over in Minato-ku a while back. Anyway Dr. Ishikawa in the Earth Science Department got ahold of a big crystal that was recovered by that expedition through his connections, and supposedly an evil sorcerer is trapped inside.
Reality: 100% true.

Fellow members of the Occult Society! What rumors and ghost stories have you heard?

Ehhh... what about the one in canon, Kogane? A potential story based on her might make for a interesting read.

Not bad.

I like this one, oddly enough.

Title: The Locker Room Ghosts
Description: The locker rooms at Furinken were built on the site of a brothel that burned down, with the employees and customers trapped inside. Sometimes, you can hear their spirits moaning.
Reality: The moaning happens because of the various ways the boys and the girls have found to peep on each others' locker rooms. They haven't told Akane or Ranma, yet.
