of the most haunted university campuses in the south!!!

 | Who was the screaming ghost of Cooper Hall? What former ETSU President still walks the campus grounds? Who are the ghostly residents of one famously haunted women's dorm? Discover numerous tragedies which have undoubtedly played an important roll in the very haunted nature of the school grounds and learn about the spirits who still haunt the location of the old "stacks" of the former Sherrod Library. |  |
The ETSU Clocktower. Tours begin nightly at 7:30 PM at the toll of the bell!
Advance reservations required. | The answers to these and many other tantalizing questions will place the listener in perpetual state of awe as you wonder at the sometimes unusual, but well documented cases of first-hand, eyewitness experiences. You will thrill to the spine-tingling accounts of the unexplained as described in interviews with many often bewildered ETSU students, staff, and alumni who have either lived, taught, or worked at the facility since 1911...
In order to create the proper "tone" for this hauntingly, spine-tingling tour, Appalachian GhostWalks begins this GhostWalk at the ETSU clocktower.

Guests will thrill to the legends, stories and unusual happenings of the University's past as well as its ghostly present.

The ARC - Alternate Realities Center is a member supported, not-for-profit organization founded in February of 1994 to study all manner of phenomena that are classified as "the fringe" by most branches of Science. Appalachian GhostWalks was created as a public awareness program of The ARC to reveal the wondrous and often haunting discoveries made at hundreds of Federal, State, and Local Historic Sites throughout our region. Thus, there is nothing false, fictitious, or made-up on any of our tours and vacations package productions - you'll always get REAL Tennessee and Virginia History and TRUE Smoky Mountain Ghost Stories! Through the indepth investigations - conducted before the first walk was ever presented at each location - and by way of the resulting tours which followed, the goal has always been to lend evidence in support of a belief to which so many of us cling. A faith suggestive that when our body stops working there is more which lies ahead for us all. We invite you to come and discover the amazing results of our investigations, in combination with the region's documented history - which actually verified our findings. Facts which will truly give you a spine-tingling feeling for who is haunting these locations and why they are here! Altogether, a positive reflection on the afterlife, appropriate for all ages, and proudly supporting Saint Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
