Continuing on the Haunted College Train, Zoey brings us Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia. This school may be small with a student body of about 800, but it has plenty of ghosts to go around.
We have the helpful Eliza(Beth) in the theater workshop who helps you find lost items, a friendly nurse ghost in Swannanoa Hall who will check your temperature in the middle of the night, the Runner in Tinker Hall, and Presser Hall.
Presser hall has many ghosts, including the ghost of Theodore Presser himself, and a lot of them like to watch you play music, play music themselves, or prevent you from playing music.
But don’t worry, that’s not all. We have seven first person accounts of ghost stories at the end that will have you feeling chills!
But first, Robin brings us the first instalment of “This Woman Could Kill You: Folkloric Women Creatures with Violent Tendencies” for her Something Spooky, debuting the bit with the Ogress herself, Baba Yaga.
TW: Suicide.
