Ghost stories

Besides the tales of Doc Benton that are used to scare freshmen on their DOC trips, there don't seem to be many ghost stories around the Dartmouth campus. I'm not quite sure why this is as there are many old buildings on campus and in Hanover, and we have a cemetery right in the middle of the campus.

However, if you are interested in learning more about ghost stories in Hanover, check out this article from the 2004 alumni magazine.

Another Dartmouth history blog

If you're interested in learning more about Dartmouth history, the Rauner Library blog has a great collection of Dartmouth and New Hampshire related posts. I've enjoyed reading about all sorts of topics from the story of why Dartmouth's color is green to a description of the first commencement. It's an invaluable resource for anyone looking to learn more about Dartmouth history.
