Secret tunnels below the campus

PropellerAds
Lots of universities in the world are believed to have secret tunnels below their campuses. Through the years, students have made up various stories concerning hidden pathways leading to dungeons, ritual rooms and so on. 


This legend is again particularly popular in the US. Students from Michigan State University believe that there are creepy dungeons below the university. That is partially true, because there ARE tunnels running under the campus, but they are actually steam tunnels that were built to house campus utilities. No dungeons whatsoever have been found. 

Another version of the same belief exists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where some students there believe there is a secret room below the Foreign Language Building and that it holds a supercomputer, which is owned by the government. 

They also claim that there are secret tunnels below the buildings on the Quad, whose origin and purpose is unknown.

Monorail Ghost (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

The monorail is great for those who are trying to hop from park to park, but the death stories that are linked to the monorail are plenty and sad. One unfortunate story about a monorail death is about a boy who was just about to graduate high school and made a poor decision on the monorail. One night, he tried to sneak into the park by running along the monorail track, thinking it was the safest way for him to achieve his mission, but when security spotted him, he took off running and was unfortunately killed by an oncoming monorail. Visitors and staff of Disney report that they continue to see his spirit running along the track of the monorail.

Dolly’s Dip (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

Dolly Young was enjoying her trip to Disney and was loving every single ride she went on. She enjoyed the thrill of them and wanted to experience as much as she could while she was there. In 1980, though, she went on the famous Matterhorn ride and was horrifically killed on the ride as she was thrown out of her bobsled and killed by the oncoming one. People who investigated her death are still questioning whether she intentionally unbuckled her seat belt and fell off of the ride or if her belt malfunctioned, making her meet her unfortunate death. Cast members, though, claim they have seen her spirit and that she still lingers around the ride to this day. People have reported that they hear strange sounds as they do their final walk throughs of the ride after the parks close at night and others report that they refuse to go near the entire area of the ride.

Walt Disney Himself (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

Yes, the mastermind behind all things Disney is rumored to still be lurking around his parks. The story associated with Walt, though, is more chilling than you may think. Some cast members of the park claim that they could see the light on in his apartment after the park closes, and one cast member even claimed that they heard a ghostly voice say “I am still here”. This voice made the cast members to permanently leave his light on in his apartment as an ode to him and to appease his lingering spirit.

Crying Boy at The Haunted Mansion (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

Going back to The Haunted Mansion, people exclaim that they hear a crying boy inside of the mansion. As previously mentioned, people both in California and Florida take the liberty to spread their loved one along the track of the mansion ride, making it one of the most ghost filled attractions at Disney. One woman, though, dropped the ashes of her loved one at the end of the ride a long while ago, leaving passengers to see and hear a crying boy at the end of the ride. People also tell the story of how the same boy that is in The Haunted Mansion could also be seen on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Space Mountain’s Mr. One Way (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

This story about Space Mountain is downright creepy when you think about it. This is a story about a ghost of a passenger who died on the ride and has some dark irony to it. The ghost was given the name Mr. One Way because of his “one way” entry on the ride. People speculate that the passenger passed way in the 70’s or the 80’s, making it one of the haunted rides at Disney. It is rumored that this ghost gets on the ride with passengers and disappears before the ride is over.

Pirates of the Caribbean Skull (Disney Urban Legends and Ghost Stories)

We are all familiar with the 90 second ride at Disney that inspired a series that dominated box offices each time a movie was released. This fun fill ride with pirates, though, isn’t as fun as you may think it is. After passengers of this ride travel through various pirate ports, so to say, a pirate sitting on a bed says farewell to all of the passengers. What’s so bad about that? This ride is full of pirates and skeletons! Well, while those may be fake, the pirate that bids you farewell uses a real human skeleton head. The person who the remains belong to have never been made public, but it is creepy and eerie to know that Disney uses a real skull in one of their most iconic rides.
