Looking for some spooky stories to get in the Halloween spirit? (No pun intended 👻) Look no further than the Gorgas House! Any historic building with such a storied past tends to become home to ghost stories and paranormal legend & the Gorgas House Museum is no different. Whether or not spirits actually dwell within the building’s halls, the museum has embraced these legends as a way to engage students and visitors in the fascinating history of campus and the state.
