August 26, 2024 Episode 4: Fordham University
For this episode, we will be taking a closer look at a the
third-oldest campus in New York State, Fordham University. Situated on the outskirts of the Manhattan city skyline, are the surprisingly Gothic-styled school buildings of Fordham University. Considered one of the “Hidden Ivies” (a
cousin to the Ivy League), Fordham has turned out such a wide and famous array of alumni to include Denzel Washington, Andrew Cuomo, William J. Clark, Lana
Del Ray, and Alan Alda. With such a wildly successful academic program that boasts a graduation rate of above 80%, it’s a surprise that Fordham is ranked within the top 50 most haunted colleges within the U.S. according to online reports. Boasting an attendance around 15,000 students across nine different academic disciplines, Fordham is everything a prospective student wants…even when it
comes to ghosts.

The site of a former insane asylum and built on top of a Native American burial ground, Ohio University is home to a multitude of ghost stories.
