THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Built in 1821, the Old Chapel is the oldest building on the Castleton campus and has accumulated generations of ghost stories. Students have reported apparitions, footsteps, mysterious voices, and unusual activity inside the historic structure.
The Old Chapel, built in 1821, is Castleton State College’s oldest building. Formerly the college’s medical academy, legend has it that the ghost of a partially dissected woman roams the chapel without her head. It seems that the medical academy rarely had enough cadavers to practice on, so the students resorted to grave robbing. Is this unhappy victim still searching for her head?
