Some places are just... destined to be haunted. Cemeteries often are. So are bridges. Castles always seem to be teeming with ghosts, as are hospitals. But one spot where you can almost be assured there is a ghost, even if it doesn't seem likely, is a college.
Plymouth State University in New Hampshire is no exception — in fact, it's one of the most haunted places in the state. Located in Plymouth, New Hampshire, the university has been around since 1871, so it's not totally shocking it has such a haunted reputation. Rumor has it there's a ghost lurking in Plymouth State's charming clocktower, and there is also a tunnel between two dorms many students dread walking through because of the strange occurrences that happen there. Honestly, almost every dorm at Plymouth State seems to have a ghost story, with students sharing tales of creepy sounds, flickering lights, unsettling cold spots, and spectral figures.
Plymouth State University may look like a typical (albeit beautiful) college campus, but it's rumored to have a spookier side.
People have reported seeing a shadow in the clock tower. It's rumored to be haunted by a ghostly boy.
There's another (slightly less scary) mystery surrounding the clocktower, BTW. Each year around Halloween, pumpkins appear on the top. How do they do it?!
But back to the ghosts. One of the most haunted spots is a tunnel that connects Mary Lyon or Blair Hall. Two girls were allegedly murdered in the tunnel, and you can still hear their screams while walking the tunnel.
And even if you don't hear the screams, you may still experience a strange cold spot or hear bizarre, unsettling whispers.
And those are just a few of the more popular ghost stories at Plymouth State University. People have seen the spirit of a little girl in Merrill, for example, and others in Blair Hall say they've seen or heard strange things in the dorm room.
You'd need to write a book to tell all the ghost stories surrounding Plymouth State University.
