Harvard's Scariest Spots

By Noor M.R. Beckwith

The Observation Deck of William James Hall - If you suffer from acrophobia, the fear of heights, then the observation deck on the 15th floor of William James Hall might not be for you. For the rest of you, it's a great place to get a 360 degree view of the Yard, the Houses, and Boston. By Noor M.R. Beckwith

The Lowell House Basement - While not as infamous as Kirkland's basement, the cramped corridors underlying Lowell House are nothing if not eerie and claustrophobic. By Noor M.R. Beckwith

The UHS Urgent Care Center - Nothing kills a party like alcohol poisoning or a fight. But nothing kills a weekend like having to descend into the UHS Urgent Care Center to get it all patched up. By Noor M.R. Beckwith

The Garden Street Shuttle Stop - In a morbid move by the shuttle system, the Garden Street stop was chosen to be right between the Old Burying Ground and the shadowy Cambridge Commons and is very far from anywhere anybody is going. By Noor M.R. Beckwith

The Harvard Museum of Natural History - If you have the ability to access the Harvard Museum of Natural History at night, I wouldn't recommend exercising it. The sounds of creaking heating pipes and girders are all too perfect accompaniments to the macabre display. By Noor M.R. Beckwith

A Finals Club Basement - Whether you're a freshman girl partying or a sophomore punching, you may find that a finals club basement can bring you both fear and pleasure. By Noor M.R. Beckwith
