    Season 2: Episode 1 - Boston University

    Spooky Salutations and welcome to Season 2 of Haunted Higher Ed! We're kicking off with Boston University, where Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, Martin Luther King Jr. earned his doctorate, and the dead absolutely refuse to leave—from Babe Ruth haunting his favorite hotel room to the terrifying Man in Black who lurks near the Charlesgate elevator, always watching, always getting closer. Turn down the lights and discover why BU's most dedicated students never graduated.

    Episode 4: Fordham University

    For this episode, we will be taking a closer look at a the third-oldest campus in New York State, Fordham University. Situated on the outskirts of the Manhattan city skyline, are the surprisingly Gothic-styled school buildings of Fordham University. Considered one of the “Hidden Ivies” (a cousin to the Ivy League), Fordham has turned out such a wide and famous array of alumni to include Denzel Washington, Andrew Cuomo, William J. Clark, Lana Del Ray, and Alan Alda. With such a wildly successful academic program that boasts a graduation rate of above 80%, it’s a surprise that Fordham is ranked within the top 50 most haunted colleges within the U.S. according to online reports. Boasting an attendance around 15,000 students across nine different academic disciplines, Fordham is everything a prospective student wants…even when it comes to ghosts.

    Episode 3: Ohio University

    For this episode, we will be taking a closer look at America’s ninth-oldest public university in the U.S., Ohio University of Athens, Ohio. Some might say this institution was destined to be an epicenter of paranormal activity from its inception. The site of a former insane asylum and built on top of a Native American burial ground, Ohio University is home to a multitude of ghost stories. In a unique geographical location, the university also happens to be uniquely located in the middle of a Pentagram of cemeteries which some claim contributes to its haunting aura. However, the history of Ohio University is just as fascinating as the land it was built on.
