The Haunted Halls of West Virginia University

In the coming weeks, you’ll learn about Elizabeth Moore, the late principal of the Woodburn Female Seminary whose presence on campus was so strong in life, she still lingers today in the building bearing her name. Or Sally, a little girl who died from a Typhoid epidemic a few days after dancing the night away in the Mountainlair. This podcast will leave you looking at the halls of WVU in a whole new way. And maybe even peeking over your shoulder a little more than usual.
Jason Burns is a professional storyteller and WVU Arts and Entertainment staff member. For the past few decades, he’s been uncovering the real story behind West Virginia’s legends and ghost stories. Especially the spine-chilling ones. Jason will be sharing more ghost stories at the Aull Center on October 28 at 7 p.m. Jason also gives private ghost tours in Morgantown.
