University Folklore: Ghosts and Exam Failure Curses

In a lot of ways, it's hardly surprising there is a lot of university folklore. People are away from home, often for the first time, in a strange environment with a lot of new places. They're also often in old buildings where who only knows what has happened in the past.

So it's easy for unusual stories to emerge. Let's look at some university folklore, including myths about failing your exams in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
