Tripping on Legends Live…Haunted Schools

Somewhat edited, but we got most of the good stuff.

In light of our upcoming trip to Stetson University, Christopher Balzano goes live to discuss some of the folklore and theories behind school house ghosts.

He also gets into some of the stories he has experienced and documented, from Charlesgate and the Rehoboth Schoolhouse to the real story behind the song Jeremy.

The story that gets cut off at the end is about Session House at Smith
College, which you can read about here:

[…] As we talked about in the episode Bundy, Books, and Bikinis, the suicide at the college never happened but made sense to the students who came after as a warning on the dangers of drugs and falling into the bad element once the shackles of your parents are off. For those who do not know the full story (and the article only gets into parts of it) a beautiful freshman at UF was experimenting with LSD or another mind altering drug (sometimes even just marijuana in the more extreme retellings) when she thought she could fly and jumped from Beaty Tower.
