College life in Texas isn’t all football games and late-night study sessions—some campuses have spirits that never quite graduated. 

At Texas State University in San Marcos, Old Main looms above the river like a gothic sentinel. Built in 1903, it’s said to be haunted by a young woman who leapt—or was pushed—from its balcony more than a century ago. “Scary Sterry” Hall adds to the legend with tales of doors opening on their own and ghostly visitors wandering its echoing corridors.

In College Station, Texas A&M University has its own ghost stories rooted in Aggie tradition. There's the spirit of a meat-processing foreman who died in a gruesome accident in the 1950s,  a mysterious woman in white at Francis Hall and phantom nips from Reveille, the university’s beloved canine mascot.

At Texas A&M University–Commerce, Talbot Hall stands out as both historic and haunted. Once the campus library, it’s now home to flickering lights, footsteps in empty hallways, and the laughter of a boy said to have fallen through the skylight in the 1930s.

At University of Texas at Austin, the Littlefield House tells a more tragic story. Built in 1894, it was home to George and Alice Littlefield, major donors to the university. Today, staff report phantom piano music drifting through the halls and soft crying from the upper floor.

Finally, at St. Edward’s University, faith and fear coexist. The campus has survived fires, tornadoes, and more than a few ghost stories. In the Mary Moody Northen Theatre, students speak of a female spirit haunting the catwalk above the stage, while the main building is home to the ghost of a brother who fell to his death trying to catch a painting from an open window. 

From gothic towers to glowing catwalks, Texas’s college campuses prove that higher education doesn’t always stop at the grave. The halls of learning echo with laughter, heartbreak, and a few too many footsteps from the other side.
