University legend has it that a friendly ghost roams the halls of Green Library making its presence known minutes before the library closes. An icy hand that touches your neck, a tug on your hair, a swift brush of your ear; these are some of the various experiences students have reported along with sightings for many years.
This is the 4th ghost tour set up by the association that has grown tremendously since its start in 2006. With the growing interest in the paranormal and over 200 students in attendance last year, this spooky adventure has expanded into a 2-day event that features a Haunted Campus Ghost Tour and a fun-filled night that’s meant to leave you with nightmares and bring you to the “Brink of Insanity.”
The ‘Asylum’ themed tour will host five different stations around the school with five tales that the association hopes will make you cringe.
Students will travel the eerie, dark hallways and walk through the ice-cold buildings of the Modesto Maidique Campus learning something new about each common place.
Student Alumni Association’s Brink of Insanity: Haunted Campus Tour will also offer stories that the Alumni Association hopes give you chills and a different perspective of the University’s history. The tour will be guided in small groups led by costumed ‘doctors’ and ‘actors’ who will care for the tour’s patients and visitors.
The night will begin with music and food with a DJ playing before and after the tour. A small party is sure to follow with fun treats after the ghostly journey. The first 150 patients who attend will receive free food and give-a-ways. This fun Halloween treat is free and open to the public. All costumes are allowed.
Biscayne Bay Campus won’t be missing any of the haunted fun. This will also mark the 1st annual Ghost Tour for North Campus students as well. The tour will begin in Bay Vista and continue throughout the school.
The BBC’s Ghost Tour will begin on Tuesday, Oct. 26th, 2010 from 7pm to 9pm. The FIU SAA will be serving free pizza and Bobo’s Ice to students.
The South Campus Haunted Ghost Tour will start at the Housing Quad on Tuesday, October 19th and run through Wednesday, October 20th. Visiting hours will be from 8:00- 9:30pm.
