If there’s something eerie on Lyndon’s campus, the newly formed Paranormal Club will soon be on the case.
“Essentially, the goal of the club is to go to places on campus and in the area to find paranormal activity,” club adviser Erin Rossetti said.
There are currently between seven and eight regular members, according to Rossetti, with the hopes of gaining more through the club’s events. Some of these include a regular showing of ghostly television shows, as well as traveling around campus and in the local area for signs of activity.
President of the club is freshman graphic design student Montana Marshia.
“I’ve always loved researching the paranormal,” she said. “I figured I’d bring it into reality.”
Marshia and her fellow paranormal-seekers will be exploring different areas on and around campus suspected of ghostly activity. These places include the University of Vermont, Emily’s Bridge in Stowe, the Vail museum, and the Crevecoeur residence hall.
“Some members have experienced phenomena there,” Marshia said of Crevecoeur’s suspected haunting.
According to Rossetti, the club members have ideas for Halloween-themed fund raisers, and are participating in a haunted house with the local fire department as well.
The club hopes to become an officially recognized club on campus during the next Student Government Association meeting.
