With Halloween coming up, I decided to go ahead and do the project of using the OU Ghost Stories.
They're also giving Ghost Tours this month, so I will definitely take advantage of that in order to write my stories.
These stories will tie together this theme: a Freshman student arriving at OU and the scary experiences he or she faces on campus.
I will be looking into purchasing the book by Jeff Provine, so for now, I have provided a link to his website that gives an overview of some the stories he talks about in his books that I am thinking would work.
Here are the stories I am thinking to use:
1. Cate Center (link to Jeff's website here)
A freshman doesn't know what's headed his/her way when they find out that this normal-looking cafeteria is actually the place where someone was beheaded. Find out more as the story unravels and the experience that this freshman faces.
2. Holmberg Hall (link to Jeff's website here)
Thinking to be a part of University Sing, this naive freshman is unaware of the ghosts alive and prowling the halls of Holmberg Hall. This story will be about the secrets of Holmberg Hall that no freshman has ever seen.
3. Ellison Hall (link to Jeff's website here)
Known to all as the College of Arts and Sciences, this story will be about the freshman student visiting his/her college for an advising appointment, but discovering much more than his next semester's schedule.
Hi Sonali!
ReplyDeleteOU ghost stories sounds like a great topic! I've heard quite a few told and even went on the ghost tour my freshman year. Halloween is the perfect time to write ghost stories! I would be most inclined to read the story about Cate Center. Many people go there and have been there so it would be interesting to read a story about a familiar place. Someone was beheaded? Ah, that's creepy, but also intriguing!
