Moravian University, located in Bethlehem, Pennslyvnia is approximately 280 years old. The college is home to a multitude of spirits and ghost stories of its own.

“The Shadow”

This mysterious tale takes place in the music building on the south side of Moravian’s campus.

Shane Hansen was in the coffee house and wanted to grab a drink from the vending machine on the second floor of the music building on a Wednesday night. While getting a drink, Hansen noted that there was a stairwell that lead down to an exit door of the building. He looked down the staircase and saw a human figure looking back up at him.

“It looked like a shadow and I couldn’t see any details,” Hansen reported. “It was probably about my size, maybe a bit bigger.”

Hansen stated that the figure then turned and went through the door, leaving the building. In a panicked state, Shane Hansen turned and ran back to the coffee house.

Imagine, enjoying a conversation with friends in math class and suddenly, you hear the words, “Intruder in the building! We are in lockdown!”
