Episode 1: NYU
Welcome to Dark Academia! Join your professors, Allie and Nicki, as they take you on a tour of everything mysterious and macabre around the world's finest educational institutions.
This week, Prof. Allie brings us to New York University- otherwise known as NYU. Get to know the spirits that haunt the Greenwich Village campus and what has the students spooked to this day.
Do you have a campus you would like us to cover? Any stories that are scarier than finals? Do you believe that Prof. Nicki manifested The Tortured Poets Department? Send us an email at [email protected].
