I woke up to this. Huh why do I move back East?
I wish it wasn't so snowy and cold, but I am really psyched to see this college again
There we go. This is the dormitory. That's at Dobson Hall
And I think that I don't even remember how Ra my second year of college
So I spent my entire life in the dorms, and I probably lived in around four or five of the dorm buildings
And I'm going to tell you guys this right now at least three of them or extremely haunted. This is the first haunted warm
This is called centennial Hall
I lived like right there. Of course the story was a couple of students died in a dormitory
and now there's an attic actually in that dormitory, so if you go up to the attic sometimes
And there's for some reason a weird old
Rocking chair there and that rocking chair would just rock on its own and when you live like below the storey of that rocking chair
You can even hear creaking
It feels so weird walking on this campus again
Nothing's really changed it still looks the same. It's been over a decade. Let me show you another haunted building. By the way that right there
That is the sunken garden. We believed that if you kiss your date in the sunken garden at midnight
You were going to get married now that I don't know if that's true
Actually never really happened to me so I can't testify to that this building is incredibly incredibly creepy
This is called the John Kirk Memorial inside this building
There is a museum and inside that museum is a lamp kid you not lamp made out of human skin
I've touched it is the most creepiest thing ever it was something that was the result of the holocaust and I don't know
How I ended up here
So you got you guys see this hole in the ground? This is what we call the internal flame now
The problem is the internal flame is never on so we just kind of call it the eternal hole in the ground
On to building number two Baldwin Hall
So the story goes that hall used to be a school and one day there was a fire
And a lot of children died in a fire, so if you go down to the basement of Baldwin Hall
You can still hear the children's laughter and cry sometimes yeah, I never spent much time there. I took one intro theater class literally
I'm not joking a lot of people have heard the cries really creepy building really old inside
This is where I spent a lot of my years: Missouri Hall. I stayed here
I had a couple of first experiences in that dorm one was my first time sharing a communal
Bathroom with like 20 guys. Two it was my first ever ghost experience. I told this in videos before but one night
I was on duty
I was an Ra like 2:00 in the morning when I was walking down the hallway often I hear footsteps above me
And I shouldn't hear any footsteps because it's carpeted all the floors are carpeted, and you know it's a floor
It's not even like a house right you shouldn't be able to hear footsteps that clearly I heard footsteps
So every step I took I heard thump above me. Took another step
thump above me, so I thought someone's playing a joke on me and look
No It's 2:00 in the morning, okay?
That's not a weeknight
No one was up, so I start walking faster
And then the footsteps followed me thump thump thump thump
so I start running and the footsteps are running running above me
I kid you guys does not actually happen, so freaked out after that we head to my room
That was like the craziest thing
Now I'm going to show you guys the two most haunted buildings on campus
This is Ryle Hall. I stayed here for about a year
Ryle Hall is one of the most haunted
Buildings on campus actually haunted by a ghost named Joan
so Joan was a ra back in the 70s or 80s
I think and she was staying over at a boyfriend's place and while she was staying over at her boyfriend's place
So after that her dorm room was like a scene out of the poltergeist
books fly everywhere objects falling off the shelves it is like
Literally something out of a horror movie
It got so bad the school actually had to call a priest and conduct an exorcism in that room after that everything calmed down
but
Story goes after the exorcism the girls were playing with a ouija board because you know they're stupid which of course it's not a toy guys
They're playing with a ouija board trying to talk to Joan and they somehow
Reach her and through the Ouija board supposedly Joan said I will always be here looking after my girls
Because Ryle used to be all girls dorm as well
Grim is the most haunted building on campus
but if you name a building Grim what do you expect
supposedly in the 1930s an undergrad nursing student named Charlotte died there and
Some say she died because she was diabetic and she didn't have enough insulin over break some say
Somehow that the turned off over winter break and she froze to death either way almost everybody who's ever stayed in Grim Hall
And that's a dormitory by the way
Experienced some ghostly haunting
some say they walk in it will be freezing cold in the summer some hear voices
It's just like crazy paranormal activity going on in there.
That dormitory is the most avoided on campus. First of all it is the smallest
Dormitory and it's super old and it's just like is creepy. No one wants to stay there
So what the school does is that they put the international students in Grim hall, which I don't know if that's on purpose
I also don't understand
Why like they have to stick all the international students together in a single place anyway completely different topic
But this school gets really weird when it comes to minorities. I think the last year I was here
They were trying to make a pamphlet
Showcasing the diversity of Truman state so they have people from all different cultures and ethnic groups and backgrounds
pose to be in front of this pamphlet, but the problem was they put everybody but a white person
So if you looked at that pamphlet, you would literally think like no white kids went here. Which is the opposite of the truth
Alright the last place I'm going to show you guys on campus
This is kind of unexpected, but I used to be a fraternity in college
and I'm not really a fraternity sort of guy I don't come off that way
I don't actually even love fraternities that much, but I wasn't
No, I don't know, I joined for the experience and
really
I mean it's your own choice if you want to join a frat in college or not, but
Personally I feel like people mostly join for the parties
But I don't know I just feel like a lot of that was very superficial
But anyway, I'm going to show you guys my fraternity house, so this that's not it. That's
Kimball's that's where we threw our parties and events so just a big you know nasty dance floor in there, I think
Nothing has really changed. This is the actual house
it's one of the biggest houses on campus and it was built the year
I left so let me see if I can actually go in there
Nobody's there. I am glad that I came during spring break because nobody is around. The campus is prettier
It's easier to get around but unfortunately that also means that I don't have access to the frat house
And I actually wanted to eat in the dormitories one last time not because it ever tasted good. It's just I don't know
Today's like relive my college day
And I feel like the experience is not complete without eating some to make-you-want-to barf-food from Sodexo
I mean that food was horrendous, Sodexo Caters for colleges as well as prisons.
Interesting development
I just realized I could [do], [Illinois]
Which is where I spent most of my years in the midwest is on the way to Ohio
so I'm going to make a pit stop because I think, I'm not 100% sure
But I think my old restaurant, our old restaurant is still there, and it's still a Chinese buffet restaurant. So if that's the case
I'm going to go eat at that restaurant
Just left Kirksville I feel like that whole experience was I don't know
It's just I really wanted to see that college and although I didn't get to eat at the dorms
I didn't get to see inside the frat house. It was good. I feel really good about that experience. That was probably
My time at truman state was probably the happiest years of my life the happiest most carefree years of my life
I mean look still bad stuff happened in college, stressful times happen in College, but looking back on my life
That was where I was the happiest. Those years were really just just so carefree and happy and
my advice to you guys who are still in college stay in College because the real world
That's not nearly as fun even though you have to eat dorm food, and you don't have any money
That's still a lot more fun than real life. I only went this time because I'm driving through
the Country again which
Probably most likely will never happen again
I don't think I'll ever come to this college on purpose because this is kind of really out there in middle of nowhere
I'll have to drive to Saint Lewis for Kansas City and drive a couple of hours
on you know bad roads to get to this college so more likely than not that was my last visit
And I felt like that was a lot of fun because as I mentioned those were the happiest years of my life
And it's really cool to be in that place again and have all those memories
Come back and just be swimming in that pool of
nostalgia, and I really want to thank you guys because I know this isn't some really popular place this isn't some awesome travel destination
It's my old college nobody cares, but thank you for letting me
Take you along with me
So I'm not just some idiot walking around an empty campus with tears rolling down my cheek
I do want to say that after living in New York City living in San Francisco and going back to Kirksville
I have no clue how I was ever able to stay in that town for four years like I don't know how it happened
There's literally nothing there
Haven't seen that in a while there's a huge population around Kirksville
Wild turkeys!
I can't believe that maid rite is still there that was there when I lived here
There it is that used to be
My parents restaurant, and we used to live on the second floor of this restaurant. This is so crazy
So we used to live on top over there and see that window over there
I used to climb out that window jump on the roof here and the trash can used to be here
I would jump on top of that and that would be the only way I could sneak out without my parents knowing otherwise
I would have to go through the restaurant
That thing is still there! It is now called men's Garden buffet. It's still a chinese buffet after all these years
I'll take a table. Thank you
this is so
Unappetizing Chinese food that Chinese people will not eat. I think when we were here we tried to put out some good dishes
like a ton of stir-fried veggies
Our fish was actually really decent our dumplings were handmade. Look at this
White thing on this fish and oh my god it is like tough. I don't think I could eat that much of this stuff
I just wanted to sit here one last time. It's so different
Yet, we moved around a lot because my parents owned restaurants in a lot of different cities
But the most time I've ever spent was here
I think I spent eight years of my life here and working here and then living upstairs
It's just crazy being back the feeling is nice. Scared of that. Eat up and hit the road
Man, I really couldn't take that lunch. That was a super quick lunch
I think I finished half a plate before I couldn't tolerate anymore also something about this building is really cool. It's a historic Landmark
It used to be part of the underground railroad so in the basement of this building
there's actually a tunnel that connects to the bank across the street here
And it's all part of the underground railroad when I was here when I was a kid I found that Tunnel
I was like what the heck is is like some creepy ghost tunnel or something? Then I did some research and realized no
That's pretty cool. All right guys. Let's go to Ohio
