Halloween legends at the University of Illinois
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Quad Illinois Public Media
Today is Halloween… a holiday with a lot of history, going back centuries, even millenia. Nowadays, of course, it’s basically a celebration of all things scary and spooky. We talked about some of the spooky stories, myths and legends that make the rounds at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Editor's note: In the course of the segment, one of our guests referred to the grave of the U of I’s first regent John Milton Gregory as being between Altgeld Hall and the English Building on campus. The grave is located between Altgeld Hall and Henry Administration Building.
