Welcome to Dark Academia! Join your professors, Allie and Nicki, as they take you on a tour of everything mysterious and macabre around the world's finest educational institutions.
This week, Prof. Allie brings us to New York University- otherwise known as NYU. Get to know the spirits that haunt the Greenwich Village campus and what has the students spooked to this day.
Do you have a campus you would like us to cover? Any stories that are scarier than finals? Do you believe that Prof. Nicki manifested The Tortured Poets Department? Send us an email at darkacademiathepodcast@gmail.com.
