What secrets are hidden in the dark depths of south campus?
Late at night, the south campus halls fall silent — except for the hum of unseen machines and the echo of your own footsteps.

The ghost of Powell Cat
After dark, Kerckhoff’s old Gothic halls echo with faint pawsteps that vanish when followed. A flash of glowing eyes has been spotted in the stained-glass reflections and late-night wanderers report hearing a meow before their books or coffee cups are mysteriously knocked off tables. One student even claims a cat’s tail brushed their ankle — though nothing was there.

Happy Halloween, Bruins
