Haunted Tour of Texas Tech Campus
Attendees will be accompany by a lantern-bearing investigator, as you wind your way through campus, where you’ll encounter a cast of storytellers. Along your journey tales will be spun, weaving together a spooky tapestry of TTU’s storied history. Each story is unique, and their source ranges from legends passed down between generations of students and still whispered in dormitories today, to real life tragedies that have left a permanent scar on Raiderland. Due to the presentation of some scary stories, families should consider this event to be rated PG-13. Whether or not they attend is left entirely to their parent or guardian’s discretion.
Tours go at a walking pace for 60 minutes, and cover just over 1.5 miles. Tickets are $5/person.
