Finishing up the third season of our Haunted College Tour Palooza, Zoey brings us an extra-long episode to talk about the many haunted buildings of the University of Montevallo. Along with the typical southern history of the civil war and enslavement, this school has a history of violence and death paired with a rural, historic college that brings out the ghosts in full force.
This episode has a old man ghost looking for his buried treasure, a former Confederate soldier protecting the building in death after he failed to protect it in life, an affectionate but mischievous theater ghost, and a girl who was on fire. All of those, and more, are haunting the various dorms and halls of MU, scaring students ever since the early 1900’s.
Before we get to the ghosts, Robin brings her Something Southern to talk about 5 of her Hot Takes in reference to the astounding heat that is blasting the South in these last few weeks of August.
