Haunted International Colleges: Ghosts from Britain to the Philippines
Episode notes
About this episode
| Schools gather generations of students, faculty and staff within the same buildings, creating an unusually dense institutional memory. This international episode visits historic campuses and educational communities in England, Scotland, Australia and the Philippines.Durham University begins the journey with stories centered on Durham Castle. The University of St Andrews adds Scotland’s oldest university and its long history of religious conflict, academic tradition and campus legends. Downlands College in Toowoomba, Australia, brings a secondary-school campus into the program under the broader international college theme.
The final section visits two institutions in Manila: Ateneo de Manila University and the University of Santo Tomas. Wartime occupation, old buildings, dormitories and classroom reports all shape the Philippine stories. |
