Revenge of College Ghost Stories: Three Final Thrillers

October 31, 2007 2:12 pm Choosing a School, Preparing for School

You know how at the end of most scary movies the good guys are walking away, seemingly safe from the psychopath or zombie or ghost that has been stalking them, and then, BOOM! a bloody hand comes out of nowhere, grabs the good guy, and BAM! they cut to the credits? Well, I’m like that, too. Just when you thought I was going to relax and leave you alone through Halloween, I return with one more final trio of spine-tingling tales- just like that bloody hand reaching into the frame and making you scream like a kindergartener and grab your roommate…

This is the season for costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and, of course, ghost stories … I recently found that college campuses are hotbeds for spooky stories.
