Ghosts in the Morgue (Haunted Fordham University)

Chilling urban legends and ghost stories from people who lived in an old medical school building, which featured a morgue and a large operating theater. From 1905-1921, Fordham University had a medical school. After its short, troubled existence, the medical school was mostly forgotten. One of the few reminders of the school is Finlay Hall, the old medical school building that was converted into a dorm in the 1980s. Since students have begun living there, haunting stories have emerged: some people claim to see ghostly students looking down on them during the night, as if they're a cadaver being dissected. Others wake to being choked by cold hands. This episode looks at the stories and seeks to sort out urban legend from credible paranormal experiences, and to corroborate or debunk popular stories. Highlights include: • Carl Jung giving lectures at the medical school • Cadavers being kept in the basement • Secret tunnels Got a Fordham haunting to report? Send it to [email protected].
