If you are referring to my imagination, then yes.. if not, then I have never been to Gally AS a student (Been there as a tourist though), since I am in Australia

Byrdie, it's shape/outline is that of narrow coffins of old. I wish I was skilled enough to go somewhere on the Net and get an image of it. Maybe you can as it's quite well known......

You misunderstood me. I am speaking of Gallaudet tunnels. I have no problems using underground tunnels on RIT campus many times.

The coffin door is a legend at Gallaudet. I remember when I was there, the legend goes - If any freshmen walks through that door, they will never graduate. I for one, was laughing at that because it was just a door and I walked through it.

Here's some more Ghost Stories of Gallaudet -- Ghost Stories on the Gallaudet Campus « Fookem and Bug

Here's a YouTube Vid showing what the coffin door looks like --

I used to live in 201A at Clerc.... there was a ghost in my room.

Tousi · 06-30-2008, 10:24 PM

Jolie, than you for posting an image of that door; now maybe Byrdie will see it. Btw, that's not the same door; it is a nice looking newer one. The one I knew was the same shape and everything except that it was older, and had a more "creepy" look to it. Lol....

I do know what you're saying about it having a creepy look. I also do remember it looking really creepy, but nothing like the one that is shown in the youtube video. As far as I recall, the door paint was crackled and shaded. The one in YT was new. So, perhaps it's the same door only they have re-painted it?

I saw that coffin door when I was on a tour guide in 1999 when I was on my USA trip... didn't think of going anywhere closer.

Byrdie714 · 07-01-2008, 10:54 AM

for showing the door. I think it's just part of the arichtecture of the building.

Who knows....maybe it's time to call the "Ghostbusters"?

HorseRace · 07-01-2008, 11:53 AM

jolie, yea...i remmy that door.. but i dont think i ever did go throught .. lol i did not graduate at all.. strange.. just story.. i dont believe those like that.. but..

lol! i laughed! just an interesting story that all

JClarke · 07-01-2008, 06:44 PM

Horserace - mentioning not being able to graduate is that the work is too much pressure for you??

Yeah, It is just one of the urban legend. Every and each college has their own "myths".

JClarke · 07-01-2008, 09:19 PM

Jolie77 since you mentioned you walked through the coffin door, and did you graduate from Gally if you were a gally freshman or something?

That's for me to know and for you to find out.

LOL @ Tousi.

Tousi - If his imagination is going into overtime, Are you going to pay him the time and half?

JClarke · 07-01-2008, 09:33 PM

Fancy to get paid on Alldeaf, awesome! Gimme my paycheck, Tousi!

Heard that there was a party and the stuident got drank and dared that he can fly by jumping out of the window. Dumb move.

I was NTID/RIT student from 1981 to 1985. I never hear any deaf student jumped out from the window. I guess hearing student did jump.

We never see any talked about ghost or haunted at dorm or tunnel or anywhere.

Also, I was MSSD Student. Nobody talked about ghost at Gally. Some people talked about ghost at Catholic University's Brady Hall.

I laughed about one person said that a gally student, and his roommate saw a lamp light turned on, even it was unplugged.

Even if authentic brings us the proof, then you're in trouble!

The living room of my parents' house used to have a door. My mom sealed it up a long time ago and replaced it with an octagonal window. She said it was a coffin door for taking out dead people after wakes in the living room. Seems like people thought it would be bad luck to take a dead person out through the main door.
