Ghost Tours Were a HUGE Success!

MedChi and the Center for a Healthy Maryland hosted the inaugural Ghost Tours on Monday, October 30 and Tuesday, October 31 at MedChi's 1909 Building.

The tour started in our History Hallway with an explanation of who we are and what we do. Then we went up to the Krause Room, which was the old reading room and talked about Marcia and her history before and after she began working at the Faculty.

After that, we headed over to the stacks, which interested everyone. 
Sadly, we didn't see Marcia, but we told the groups plenty of stories about her. Then it was downstairs to the see the newly opened MedChi Museum of Maryland Medical History, and those collections of books. 
Finally, it was on to Osler Hall, where we told stories of Marcia's life at the Faculty, her friendship with Sir William Osler and sightings of Marcia in the Hall.

Since the second night of the Ghost Tours was Halloween, we told people they were welcome to dress up, so some of them did!

I hope you had a Happy Halloween and that it wasn't toooo spooooky!
