Ghosts of Kutztown: Old Main and Crystal Cave

Episode 61 – Originally Released September 2018

It’s back to school for many students across the country and in this episode we’re going to Kutztown, PA, where we’ll visit Old Main, one of the oldest and most recognizable buildings on Kutztown University campus.  We’ll talk about the history of the university, including the haunted history of Old Main, where the ghost of a young woman named Mary Snyder wanders the 5th floor of this historic building.  Students report sightings of Mary for over 120 years.  How did she die, and why does she linger on the university?

We’ll also take a trip to Crystal Cave, a subterranean wonderland that’s always a cool 54 degrees.  Formations in the cave date from anywhere between 80,000 years old to over three times that age.  Filled with crystals that adorn the walls and the rock formations, legends of Crystal Cave date back over 150 years featuring reports of ghosts inside and outside the cave grounds.  Head back to school with me to Kutztown, Pennsylvania!
