Looking for some extra frights this Halloween? Grab a flashlight and your student ID and head off on our DIY Creighton Fright Night: The Mall Walk of TERROR!  

  #1: 24th Street Crosswalk  

Dodging the phantom Juttle, step carefully across 24th street. Listen closely and you may hear the woman trapped in the walk sign, forced to utter the phrase, “Walk signal to cross 24th Street is now on” for all eternity. Some say you can smell her body decaying all across campus, her ghost attempting to escape through the sewer lids.  

#2: your freshman year dorm   

Tread carefully as you make your way up the mall. Ghosts of roommates past greet you in the shadows of your freshman dorm- still leaving dirty laundry on the floor and moldy food in the fridge. Shake off the horrific flashback of crying in the shower after failing a midterm and turning to see a clump of hair (not yours) creeping towards your foot. You might still feel the pounding on the walls and ceilings as you try to fall asleep. Run-away quick! The loneliness, seasonal depression and the freshman 15 are chasing you once again!  

#3: Creighton Hall   

Test your luck by pacing the steps up to Creighton hall and sidestepping the rocking chairs, creaking eerily as you pass. Is that just the wind, or are they moving on their own? Beware, for come a few weeks from now they may disappear — and who’s to say if they will take some students with them?! Orange cones, construction tape, and warning signs lead you through the endless maze of construction, doomed to last for all eternity. If you find your way inside, stay out of the elevator or you may not ever make it out.  

#5: The library after dark   

Walk through the formidable F door and feel a chill down your spine as you dare to visit the library basement after dark. Do not fret, however, because legend has it the library ghosts that only appear during midterms and finals week.  

#6: The KFC   

Not frightened enough already? For a real scare, walk into the Kiewit Fitness Center at 5 pm. Dodging the intramural basketballs, cut-off muscle tanks, and relentless mirror selfies, you’ll likely get lost in a labyrinth of equipment. Was that someone screaming? Or some guy lifting too heavy?  

#7: Ghost of Creighton past- Kiewit  

Trees rustle and shadows pass as you walk past the ghost of Kiewit, the graveyard of freshman innocence. Legend has it these nine floors, which once housed bats and rats in its walls, turned bushy-eyed freshman into caffeine-addicted, sleep-deprived zombies. Listen closely and you can hear echoes of students hacking up a lung, poisoned by black mold.  

#8: Rigge 120   

Finally, step into the hallowed halls of Rigge 120, which have been known to suck all the knowledge out of student’s brains. You’re greeted by the creaking metal seats and the crying of Bio 201 students who just failed their exams. The dim lights and beige walls surround you and make you feel like you’re suffocating, despite the room’s XXX person capacity. Take a seat- but look out! It’s a test that you’re extremely unprepared for!   

Thanks for joining us on this Mall Walk of Terror. Have a Spooky Halloween and good luck falling asleep tonight!
