Haunted tour of OU tonight and Saturday
Transcript staff The Norman Transcript

NORMAN — An adjunct instructor at the University of Oklahoma plans to lead tours of spooky haunts on the Norman campus, just in time for Halloween………

Angela Startz, media specialist for the College of Arts and Sciences, issued a news release Thursday with information on Ellison Hall from Chris Borthick, an OU Gaylord College academic counselor and member of Society of the Haunted.

“Ellison Hall originally was named Hygeia Hall, after the Greek goddess of health and wellness, and served as the infirmary for the campus,” Startz wrote in a news release. ”The first floor served as a clinic to OU students, the second floor held patient rooms and the third floor was filled with operating rooms. The same windows where students checked into the clinic now serve as check-in windows for students waiting to be advised in the college. ”

“Legend has it that a boy roller skating on Elm Avenue was struck by a car,” she continued. ”Carried into Hygeia Hall, he died. Since that time, the sounds of his skates are heard along the hallways of the second and third floors. Most members of the dean’s staff have experienced other occurrences that happen in the quiet after-hours: motion-sensitive lights turning on for no reason, noises coming from the empty end of the hall, knocks on the wall of empty and locked offices. Other staff members have reported hearing voices and dishes clinking on the first floor.”
