In the mid-20th century, a medical student reportedly hanged himself in a residential building close to The University of Vermont’s Burlington campus. Former Hamilton English professor Frank Ristine bought the house once Susan had passed on, but he apparently refused to sleep there on his own.
Furthermore, subsequent occupants of the building – now used for temporary university accommodation – have reported spooky experiences involving the Anderson sisters’ ghosts, who purportedly watch over residents at night and cause floorboards to creak. Susan had inhabited the place for practically her whole life, as had her two sisters, Harriet and Myra. The building was occupied by Hamilton co-founder William Anderson and his children in the 1830s, and the Anderson family maintained a physical presence there until 1922, when Susan Anderson, William’s last surviving daughter, passed away. Gentile gives ghost tours of Hamilton’s Clinton campus that must surely include a stop outside the institution’s 100 College Hill Road student duplex. Profascinate, “Most Haunted Colleges in America”Īs Hamilton College’s assistant director of campus safety, Wayne Gentile presumably feels duty-bound to inform new undergraduates about the New York school’s spectral occurrences – just so they know what to expect with the bumps in the night. Other lists referred to when first searching for entries included:Ī, “Haunted Colleges and Universities,”Ĭampus Explorer, “9 Most Haunted Colleges,” and To do so, we examined reports from university and college websites, as well as articles in local and national media, before making our final selection of 50. In addition, we determined, wherever possible, when and where on campus a particular sighting or other allegedly paranormal occurrence took place.
Using such information as a starting point, we then separately investigated the notoriety, volume, and credibility of the supposed ghost sightings at each potential location. News & World Report’s article on “ Universities With Haunted Dorms” and The Huffington Post’s “ 13 Haunted Campuses” list. These include The Daily Caller’s list of “ America’s Most Haunted College Campuses,” U.S. To create this piece, we began by looking at a selection of other articles that have recorded and detailed haunted universities and campuses across the U.S. The question is, which schools can lay claim to being the spookiest in the land? We were dying to find out, which is why we’ve compiled this list of the 50 most haunted colleges and campuses in the United States. Students, meanwhile, have turned the humble ghost story into a campus institution, and tales are enthusiastically passed down from each generation of freshmen to the next. What’s more, while some schools seem to shrug off their allegedly haunted histories, others actively embrace the reputations they have for all things paranormal. Taking in everything from possessed paintings to mischief-making poltergeists, haunted college ghost legends are as varied as they are chilling. It’s probably little wonder, then, that so many college campuses are supposedly haunted. Some universities are said to have been built on ancient burial sites others were apparently the scenes of tragic suicides and unexplained deaths.
