  • Halloween Special: Beneath the Surface
    Oct 31 2024

    Did you know there's a labyrinth of tunnels that connects the buildings of Richmond College? Join us for our special Halloween episode of As Spiders Do, as we explore an unseen side of campus, featuring two alums who have explored it for themselves.

    Please note, the tunnels can be extremely dangerous due to high temperature steam and industrial electrical wiring. Please do not attempt to visit the tunnels.

    All of the rumors referenced here come from The Collegian student newspaper archives, which can be found at collegian.richmond.edu.
