NYC's Most Haunted Half-Mile (Haunted Fordham University)

Buried Secrets Podcast

A look at one of the most concentrated areas of hauntings in all of New York City: Fordham University in the Bronx.

Ghostly priests, secret tunnels, a black dog, poltergeist activity, multiple burial grounds, students living in an old morgue, and more, abound at Fordham University. The school's campus in the Bronx is about half a mile wide, but it's packed with weirdness. This series about Fordham University's hauntings begins with a look at Queen's Court, the university's oldest dorm. Queen's Court was built in 1845, was once a seminary, and has a number of ghost stories and urban legends attached to it.

Highlights include: • A groundskeeper ghost who still does his rounds • The ghost of a 19th century seminarian • A digression about Stone Tape Theory • A theory about why Fordham's ghost stories weren't really talked about until the 1970s • A conceited archbishop • Edgar Allan Poe
