53 Of The Craziest Rumors That Started Because They Were The Honest Truth

There was a rumor that a sub teacher was actually a new transfer student. He was able to cover it up for a week before getting caught. He stopped going to school after that. Years later we heard news that he was arrested for check fraud and identity theft. He was basically a con artist, impersonating airline pilots, doctors and lawyers. He cashed in fraudulent checks amounting to millions of dollars. After serving his sentence, he was recruited by the FBI and helped develop a patented check security/authentication that helped companies fight againts check fraud.

There was a rumor going around in my high school that an English teacher and a biology teacher were sleeping with each other. I thought it didn't make any sense at all, other than being strict teachers who graded harshly it's not like they had anything in common and I'd never even seen them talking to each other or interacting in any way. They were both married and besides, she was young-ish and attractive and he was um...not. I had always figured that someone who managed to flunk both classes at the same time just decided to start a rumor.

My brother is 6 years younger than me and during his time at the school they both were fired suddenly in the middle of the school year. Turns out it was true all along, they had been caught "fraternizing" on school grounds. I was pretty surprised. Of all the weird rumors that go around in a typical school, THAT was the one that had to be true.

One summer, we came back to school and noticed that the very popular drum-line instructor and one of the female drum-line members (16 years old) had both disappeared. Obviously, we jumped to the conclusion that there was an inappropriate relationship going on.

Just a few years ago, I was sitting next to a band teacher at a bar, and I relayed this story. He confirmed that it was true.

That the butch bully of my school was going to stab me. The teachers found her 3 days after an altercation I had with one of her lackies waiting on the oval for me to come to school and showing the knife to a big group of kids in my year level. I'd refused to go to school after the fight thankfully. She got a weeks suspension...

My High School Janitor was my baby brother's dad.

Rumor: that a new freshman girl (I was sophomore or jr) was caught shooting h****n in girls room. 10-20 years later talking casually to a woman in a business setting saying she’d started school where I was but caught early using h****n in bathroom-it was a dealbreaker with the school for some square reason. She didn’t know I heard the rumor-I didn’t tell her either. Her family was loaded and she, a freshman, drive to school in a Porsche or jaguar. I remember that rumor too. Definitely same chick.

A chemistry teacher was running a lab in his classroom. It happened right before Breaking Bad first aired. Happened my freshman year

The vice principal was a d**g dealer. I met his sister and confirmed it to be true. He grew and sold magic mushrooms. I would have thought it was cool if he wasn’t trying constantly to get kids arrested.

This was a roumour that went around my elementary school. basically my school had a lock down but they didn’t tell us what it was for. one kid came in the next day and told us that his sister said it was a cow in the field in between the high school and middle school. so my second grade class went and told everyone else in the school. the next day we had an assembly that confirmed this rumor.

Our teacher got drunk and took her top and bra off at a bar. Pics confirmed!

Two of the science teachers do shrooms together. found out cause one of their sons was a student

edit: apparently this happens a lot, this was in norcal.

A rumor that out school’s senior prank of 2018 was going to be putting rotisserie chickens in every toilet in the school (except the special needs bathroom) came about around half way through second semester up until the end of the year and low and behold, It happened.

One of our teachers where f*****g a rich students dad for expensive cars and other s**t, heard her talk about it in the hallway on her phone.

That I wrote my name in permanent marker on the history teacher's overhead projector.

"Why would I write my own name on the projector, that doesn't make any sense! Someone else wrote it to set me up!" I said.

But I was only acting.

It was I who wrote it.

That I stole a pen, the rumour was fricking buzzing but man it was like the worst pen in the school so It was not worth stealing that pen.
