The phantom dimension in School Bus Graveyard is the strange alternate world the characters become trapped in after the events of their overnight field trip. Before entering it, the group of teens — Guest, Samael, Tomoha, Navin, and Iola— visit an abandoned hospital during the trip. While there, they encounter terrifying creatures known as phantoms, and after escaping, they discover that the phantoms are not limited to that location.
Soon—Kenny, Bella, Oak, Gladiolus, and Poppy are dragged into it.
After the incident, the group realizes that whenever they fall asleep, they are pulled into a parallel version of their world: a dark, abandoned, dangerous place filled with phantoms. The world looks like their normal surroundings but is twisted and empty, with the same locations transformed into a nightmare version of reality. They have to survive until they wake up, while trying to understand why they are connected to this place and why the phantoms keep appearing. The time lines between the regular world and the phantom dimension are different. Whenever they fall asleep at exactly midnight—they travel into the phantom dimension and have to survive exactly seven hours in the phantom dimension. After those Seven hours they wake up where they fell asleep in the regular world with the time being exactly one minute after midnight.
The situation becomes more intense because the group can’t simply ignore what happened — the phantom dimension follows them, forcing them to work together, uncover the mystery behind it, and figure out how to escape the connection between their world and the phantom world.
This takes place at the School bus graveyard that where Navin's parents own. They're all getting ready to sleep and travel to the phantom dimension.
The time is 11:50. Midnight is 10 minutes away. The abandoned school bus they're in has been transformed and they've used blankets and pillows to make pallets in the floor
