Ghost Stories (学校の怪談 Gakkō no Kaidan?, literally "School Ghost Stories"), also known as Ghosts at School, is an anime series created in 2000 by animation studio Pierrot and Aniplex for Fuji Television. It ran in Japan from October 22, 2000 – March 25, 2001. It was loosely inspired by a book series of cultural ghost stories by Tōru Tsunemitsu. In 2005 the North American rights were acquired by AMD.
The American producer Ste7en Foster chose to turn it into a comedy by altering the script to with adult humor including profanity, sexual references, and other offensive material. Now the show has become a storehouse of the ghosts of 2000's popular culture with tons of mentions of people and events that were well known at the time but are perhaps better left forgotten.
This is a virtual encyclopedia about Ghost Stories and all things related to Gakkou no Kaidan. Anyone can edit! The show used cultural icons which were relevant at the time, but have since faded into obscurity. But YouTube stores everything. In these pages are links to the these forgotten people and products.
