Academic & Campus Legends

Urban legends associated with schools, universities, dormitories, and academic institutions, often tied to past events, locations, or traditions.


Introduction


Academic institutions exist to preserve knowledge.

They also preserve history.

Campus legends grow from buildings that have outlived the people who first occupied them. Dormitories, lecture halls, libraries—spaces used continuously for generations.

Over time, stories accumulate.

A room no one stays in. A student who never left. A tradition no one remembers beginning.

These stories persist because campuses exist in a constant state of transition. People arrive. They stay briefly. They leave.

The building remains.

And sometimes, according to the stories, something else remains with it.
