100 Ghost Story Adventure

Originally published in a newspaper in Troy, New York, this poem will go on to be a staple of the holiday season and defining the modern Santa Claus. The original poem was published anonymously, but  later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, who claimed authorship in 1837.

Welcome to the live (recorded on Halloween) broadcast event of the 100 Ghost Story Adventure podcast. Tonight, live from the campus of Lake Erie College via Podbean.com, we will be sharing several of the campus ghost stories.

We will hear about “Tiberius,” the campus mascot credited with saving students from the Memorial Hall Fire; “Stephanie,” the student who haunts the fourth floor of College Hall; and a personal experience with Mrs. Morley, the ghost of Morley Music Hall.

These stories will be featured as we complete a nine-story Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, a ghost story game from Feudal Japan, rumored to attract spirits to join our gathering.  

Our regular cast members, Amanda and Stephen will be sharing their own ghostly experiences in “Jared” and “Olde Towne Hall Theatre.” 

A special thanks to the Lake Erie College Community, especially Dr. Jerry Jaffe for inviting us to campus (and reading a part of the script).

 So enjoy the show as we bring these stories to life again.
