Things that go BOO! & Other Stories

Every old school has its ghost stories—but Fork Union Military Academy takes things to another level. In this episode, Jason and Hailey dig into the spine-tingling tales that cadets have whispered for decades: portraits with wandering eyes, strange shadows on guard duty, and the legendary floating head in Retan Hall. We’ll talk about Dr. Hatcher’s ghostly walks across campus, chapel organ keys pressed in the dead of night, and the noises that once terrified cadets (spoiler: cockroaches).But the chills aren’t all in the past—Fork Union had its share of modern-day scares too, including a 2018 threat that shook the academy to its core.Whether you believe in the paranormal or think it’s just cadet folklore, one thing’s for sure: once you’ve spent a night at Fork Union, you’ll never forget it.
