Do You Know What a Ghost Story Is?

Psychologists think that students use ghost stories to stay safe because it's a way of focusing on threats and trying to problem solve your way out of something. At the same time, you're still spreading potentially local history passing on folklore and indoctrinating new students into an unfamiliar social scene. And some of them are also cautionary tales. So here's one cautionary tale for you. This is at Point Park University in Pittsburgh. A tenant fell asleep because she was smoking. She did not make it out. Now students claim that they can smell cigarettes and fire in the hallways. Don't fall asleep with a cigarette in your hand. I mean, that often starts fires.
