RE: Haunted Universities 3 - Spooky Stories From Campuses
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
This is an interesting review ... never thought about horror in places of education except as such things have occurred in history (although C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength is close to this, in retrospect) ... but your review points out that connections in folklore are part of our actual learning, and that there is a price to pay for neglecting that part of our human education.

I thought such thing is common? There was this list of Top 5 Most Haunted Universities and their fair shared of urban legends too.

Also, you're right about "folklore", I once had a class on it and gave me another perspective to see that folklore and scary tales can be invented as the means of cultural preservation, think of not touching certain objects because they are frail and old. Human seems to have interesting relationship to fear and punishment, so maybe that's why.
