Halloween Countdown 2018, Day 4
Oct. 4th, 2018 09:06 amThe folks at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky know how to deliver an urban legend:
"Horton Hall dates from the 1950s and is now part of the three-building Horton Hall Complex, which also includes Parrott and Weldon Halls. The hauntings all occur in Horton itself and take place primarily in rooms on the second floor. The ghosts have been described as “Dark Figures,” shadowy forms that shake the ceiling tiles or lift them up and slowly ease themselves down into the students’ rooms. The wraiths appear at any time of the year, but usually on weekends and always late in the evening. It’s said that if one of the spooks is surprised, it will scream before disappearing into the night air."
