It was also further rumoured that a former pupil at the school had gotten into the passageway and confirmed that it did indeed lead all the way into town.
I think we went to the same school, or at least we did after they merged. The rumour at my primary school, which used to be an old manor house, was the tunnel lead from behind the fireplace in the main entrance to the chapel. The original owners of the house actually paid for the construction of the chapel.
Same school - it was rumoured to be haunted by the grey lady. On the spiral staircase was supposedly her portrait and its eyes would follow you when you walked up and down the stairs. I used to dread be sent on errands during class and would take the long way round to avoid that staircase.
In our secondary school there was a rumour our French teacher (who was French) used to be a stripper as well as a nude model. That one turned out to be true.
