The Ghosts of Central and State

Universities

 

There are 93 colleges and universities in Michigan. The oldest is the University of Michigan, founded in 1817 in Detroit as the University of Michigania, 20 years before we became a state. Several of these institutions of higher learning have roots in the 19th century. Is it any wonder that some of them might be haunted? In this episode, we are going to focus on 2 universities, Central Michigan University and Michigan State University.
