Cromtober 2015 Episode 3: University Ghost Stories



A trio of Cromtober episodes? Yes! Here's another set of spooky stories, this time featuring haunted campuses and university ghosts!


Old Morrison, Transylvania University. Final resting place of Constantine Rafinesque...?

The stately Keene-Johnson Building, Eastern Kentucky University. The Blue Lady awaits...

And here's Mozart's grave, in the hallowed Ravine of Eastern Kentucky University!

Earhart Hall. Does the spirit of Amelia Earhart haunt these grounds? 

And with this, we bring Cromtober to a close, but the horror doesn't end...  When we return to the Lost Road, we will discuss a pair of Lovecraft stories with terrifying implications about long forgotten civilizations: The Temple, and The Doom That Came to Sarnath!

Cromtober 2015 Episode 2: A Jamesian Halloween!


A spooky salutation to one and all! The blood moon has risen and the fogs of dread cover the landscape! Surely that must mean it is Cromtober!
This Halloween special focuses on ghost stories from one of the founders of horror literature, M.R. James! If you haven't read them before, we encourage you to find a darkened room, light a candle, and read through "Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to you my Lad" and "Mezzotint". We think you will enjoy the spine-tingling sensation that follows!

Cromtober 2015 Episode 1: Ghosts of our Homelands




A spooky salutations to you Cromrade! The blood moon has risen and the fogs of dread cover the landscape! Surely that must mean it is Cromtober!



This year, our Halloween special focuses on ghost stories from one of the founders of horror literature, M.R. James! If you haven't read them before, we encourage you to find a darkened room, light a candle, and read through "Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to you my Lad" and "Mezzotint". We think you will enjoy the spine tingling sensation that follows!



But before we visit with Mr. M.R. we thought it would be fun to recount some of our own tales of encounters with the other side! Every community has their own ghost story and they often illuminate the history and the people of that region. Tune in to hear some tales from Kentucky, Arkansas, and Indiana and then head down to the comment section and share one from your home!

Daniel Boone National Forest, KY
