VIDEO: Real College Horror Stories that Will Make Your Hair Stand Up on End

Horror stories seem to be born in all kind of places so it only made sense that people would tell horror stories from college. While some people have had problems with incredibly weird students that shared the same dorm, others have seen ghosts or things that cannot be explained.

According to listverse.com, it seems that there are actually a couple of colleges in the world that have several ghosts and weird apparitions that have been creeping students out for ages.

Aberdeen University, Scotland – The location is the former White Dove Hotel in Aberdeen. The story goes that a young actress named simply Miss Vining (I searched and found no records) had fallen very ill, and was confined to her bedroom under 24-hour surveillance.

As the nurse was checking her patient late one night, her eyes were drawn to the far side of the room. Next to the wall sat a small child in a dress, with a large hat covering her facial features.

The nurse rose to speak but found she could not move. She recalls hearing a young girl’s giggle, growing slowly louder – until she herself lost consciousness. When she awoke, the girl was gone.

Miss Vining’s fever had worsened, but the nurse was able to get up and care for her. The girl was spotted several more times in the same room, never revealing her face.

Moscow State University, Russia – Completed in 1953, this university was doomed from the start, due to the manner of its construction. It was built entirely by Gulag prisoners and German prisoners of war leftover from world war two.

Some 14,000 workers are said to have been working during the peak of the construction. Conditions and food were poor, and many died of exposure and malnutrition. Any caught slacking or refusing to work were either shot at the site, or deported and executed elsewhere.

Prisoners were housed on the upper floors of the building, to prevent them from escaping during the night.

Several failed escape attempts were made, including a man who attempted to fly a hand built wooden glider from the 14th floor but ended up falling to his death.

While construction has long since ceased, the ghosts of those who spent their final days here remained, forced like Sisyphus to work endlessly on a job that they were never able to complete.

Witnesses have reported sounds of construction, blood-curdling cries, and even fleeting glimpses of men in ragged clothing, on the upper floors where the inmates were housed.

There are many other colleges that are on this list, including really famous ones like the Cambridge University from England or the Oxford University, for example.

Luckily, most people didn’t have such horrible stories that included whole areas, most of them just had problems with real people that were extra-creepy.

Keep in mind that some people are just weird and they won’t do anything to you, but keep focused and pay attention to everything around you so that the real bad things won’t catch you off your guard.
