Keele myths
Well, I figured it would be fun for all you freshers to stop worrying about exams and accomodation forms and hear something the Keele prospectus won't tell you...No, not the price of a pint in the Sneyd arms :P I'm talking about the stories and myths that are printed on the back of the Concourse newspaper and also other tidbits people want to add in themselves. The interesting 'other side' of Keele.
To start:
Tunnels running under Keele hall and Horwood halls (apparently service tunnels, never been in them myself)
Satanic carvings on trees in the woods (which woods..there are lots at Keele)
Keele Hall is supposedly haunted by the ghost of Lady Sneyd, whose husband disapproved of her vanity and cut off her hands to stop her preening herself. (admittedly I copied that from the Keele MySpace page, I'm sure they won't mind since I referenced them here
)
Oh and the library is supposed to be slipping down hill cos of the weight of the books in it...
okay, add your own and if you think this thread is pointless or stupid - have a look at some of the others on these forums before you get critical :P
p.s. there was an alumni site I found with a whole section dedicated to these things but I lost the address...it mentioned the week in the 80s when Keele became (or tried to) a republic and required people to have passports checked before entering campus lol

That's the alumni site with the rest of the interesting stories on. I found it over on the images of Keele thread.

I LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Keele became a state in the 1980s. Keele students sent of a letter of state recognition to every nation in the world, it got one response, from Cuba. This one response meant that Keele University became its own seperate state away from the UK, literally within the borders of Keele Uni was a completely seperate country...so you needed passports which rocketboy mentioned.
This lasted all of 3 days until HM Army invaded Keele University and conquered the state to get it back into the UK. Apparently there were APCs rolling up and down the union road (going past the library!)
Priceless, we should do something like that again!
The library is rolling down hill, thats why there is all that building work going on in there atm!!
Plus the reputation that Keele has of being one of the most militant universities for protesting wasn't achieved by sitting down...oh wait a second!! lol!

ahh yes the invasion, i wasnt too sure on that so didnt add it in. i also heard Keele has the highest suicide rate of any university oin the UK or something...the people at work constantly rip me apart over that. I work in a kitchen so they keep all the knives away from me...Dont know if that is true or not though (i hope not!)

I heard that was Lancaster. But maybe thats just a myth at my college. Or they dont want to believe it, since Keele is the one of the local unis and a lot of people from my college typically go there or Staffs Uni each year. Who knows lol.
AFAIK...15 last year (04-05) Don't know this years stats!
You get some weird people at university, lol! Manic depressants and the like, quite sad really.
EDIT: Don't worry, the bodies are scooped up by the medicine dept and put to good use on teaching the medic students how a liver works and so forth!! J/k

People don't really jump off the top of Horwood O Block, you know. I have never heard of any suicides here, and as far as I know no one else I know has heard of any suicides. There is a high rate of depression - but I was depressed long before I came to Keele. In fact, being at Keele makes me feel better!
How can you not mention Barnes M Block?! (If you haven't heard that one, have a look at the campus map and post your findings here...)

erm...there isn't a Barnes M block according to the map I've got. There's L and there's N, but no M?
Keele is built above Silverdale Colliery (a coal mine)...
There are tunnels when we had some builders in are block a hatch in the floor lifted up and there was definately a tunnel.
Supposedly O block is suicide block but no one in third year i've spoken to has heard of a suicide despite one supposedly taking place 2 academic years ago.

Hehe one of my favourites and a slightly worrying one as I'll be living in Barnes next year! Barnes M block collapsed when they were building it as it was built on a mine shaft.
Along similar lines... Chancellors building is built in 3 different sections because it's built over mines and the theory was that if the ground was to give way then only part of the building would fall down which would save money, oh and lives too!
Then there's the infamous library rolling down the hill!!!!
Keele once got banned from university challenge too!
The trees at Keele are numbered-try and find number 1!
See what you freshers are not realising is that Keele is actually the centre of all satanic rituals and is basically hell on earth, which explains all these weird myths. The Library as it is so evil is sinking into the ground, obviously M block was pure evil so again sank into the depths of hell.
What Keele is in reality is a giant vortex into Hell. So you must have some students to sacrifice themselves to appease Satan from killing us all. It just happens that the origin of all Satan's power is surrounding O Block.
I should really lay of the Jack.
