Books like Possessions by Nancy Holder
Lindsay, a new student at the prestigious Marlwood Academy for Girls, quickly discovers that the school’s storied past is far more ominous than the rumors suggest. The elite, popular clique—led by the ethereal Mandy—convenes in the building’s shadowy corridors and participates in strange ceremonies. As the cold fog swirls through the Northern California woods, students notice unsettling shadows and unusual reflections in the windows. The lake surrounding the campus, long associated with a girl who drowned two hundred years ago, becomes a focal point for the chilling mystery. When Mandy and her friends begin to display dark, black eyes, Lindsay realizes that she has come under the influence of restless spirits who intend to claim her as their next victim.
