The Haunted Mansion and its Connection to Lovecraft

A key element of the discussion revolves around a haunted mansion associated with Miskatonic University, a fictional institute made famous by H.P. Lovecraft. The story highlights a janitor's experiences and his claims about a professor who researched esoteric topics, including necromancy. The professor was dismissed for her unusual studies that included splicing humans and animals, which linked the haunted mansion to a sordid past tied to the university. This connection raises questions about the university's rebranding efforts and its attempts to distance itself from its Lovecraftian reputation.
