Tiniest Haunted House--A Crypt for Poetry and Cider

The 2019 edition of the Tiniest Haunted House was found in Murphy Hall on October 30 and 31. Students, staff, and faculty were treated to cider and scary poems as they rode up and down the Murphy Hall elevator.

This spooky service was brought to MWSU by staff members of Reach, our campus literature and arts journal.
