Location: Fordham University New York, New York
Listen.
The bells on the quad are chiming.
Take your seat.
Paranormal 101 is in session.
Allegedly, Keating Hall, the Gothic centerpiece of Jesuit-affiliated Fordham University’s Bronx campus, and Finlay Hall, a dorm, were constructed over a morgue. As if that isn’t pretext enough for haunting, parts of “The Exorcist” were filmed on campus. Sleeping residents in Finlay have allegedly been awoken by frigid, unseen hands grabbing their throats. A story about the Queen’s Court dorm complex is classic: late at night, a ghost priest informs a resident assistant that he had performed an exorcism to rid the building of a demonic spirit. Also, in a freshman dorm, a blond-haired girl reportedly plagues the showers. Many of the buildings at Fordham University are haunted-each with their own unique stories.
When soon-to-be freshmen head off to college, they are expecting epic parties, new lifelong friendships, and the occasional all night study session. Most college students don't think about whether or not the campus where they’ll be spending the next four years of their lives is haunted. However, for a select group of students, the rumours and urban legends of the University will become more than just stories.
