Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?
Generally the Ancient universities, for obvious reasons, if you believe in that sort of stuff.
Apparently York is the one of the most haunted cities in the world, and although the city is a little bit of a trek from the main York campus, maybe all the ghosts like to chill out there now and then?
So a bunch of random pictures annoyingly cluttering up the page proves what now?(Original post by RamocitoMorales)

Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?Indeed. It is sometimes difficult enough to get some work done or get a good night's sleep with the noise students make in halls, least you be haunted by those annoying ghosts.(Original post by El_Sid)

Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?You've obviously failed to spot the tomb of William Elphinstone in the third picture.(Original post by hollywoodbudgie)
Queen Mary actually has its own grave yard.

Spoiler:Show(Who btw was also the Dean of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Glasgow and studied there, so if he was a ghost, he'd probably be haunting Glasgow more- it being a nicer looking uni and all).
Whereas our graves contain symbols like this:

...Which are symbolic of the pirates who may have lived flourished in Mile End in the 1600s before 'the Golden Fryer' became Mile End's capital.

Oh yer, I really think the ghost of William Elphinstone with his Bishop action fighting hat would be much scarier than the ghost of all those pirates (and Abraham Fernandez Carvajal, the founder of the modern Anglo-Jewish community, Haman David Nieto, a Sephardic spiritual leader and the physician Dr. Fernando Mendes) and a lot of other Jewish people.Last edited by hollywoodbudgie; 13-12-2010 at 23:25. -
Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?
I was hoping to see little clip art ghosts badly inserted into the background of the inevitable Aberdeen photos. That would at least have been amusing. I was quite disappointed when they finally loaded.
Edit:
Those are really rather cool.Last edited by Potiron; 13-12-2010 at 23:32. -
Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?William Elphinstone is the founder of King's College, Aberdeen. Hence he is the founder of the University of Aberdeen. His tomb is in King's College. Hence his tomb is in the University of Aberdeen. Hence his ghost wonders the University of Aberdeen.(Original post by hollywoodbudgie)

Did I really need to spell that out for you?

There's a picture for you incase you can't read. -
Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?I was merely pointing out that he spent more of his life studying and teaching at Glasgow:(Original post by RamocitoMorales)

...hence his ghost may be there.
But fair enough, as he is the founder of Aberdeen and his tomb is there, it probably would be more likely that he lurks at Aberdeen.
My point that QMUL is more haunted still stands though.
You have one ghost. We have hundreds.

Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?What the hell's your point? I've spent most of my time in London, that doesn't stop me from lurking in Aberdeen.(Original post by hollywoodbudgie)

I just went out for a jog and saw a ghost. I managed to take a picture of it before I started to run for dear life.(Original post by hollywoodbudgie)

You don't even have any evidence. -
Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?Tell that to RamocitoMorales(Original post by Potiron)

Re: What are the most allegedly haunted universities?To be honest, those pictures you have posted look a tad photoshopped.(Original post by RamocitoMorales)
So I went back to check on that ghost, and you would believe what I saw,
