In another homecoming event, there was a costume contest. A group of friends dressed up as different historical figures from the university's past. But they got the facts all wrong. For example, they thought one dean was a famous athlete when in fact he was a renowned scholar. They still won the 'Most Entertaining' award because of their misinformation and the chaos they created on stage.
One funny story was when a group of alumni decided to recreate their old college band performance. They were all out of practice and ended up playing the wrong notes most of the time, but the crowd loved their enthusiasm and it became a hilarious and memorable moment.
At a school's Homecoming Sunday event, there was a pie - eating contest. One student was so eager to win that he shoved the whole pie into his mouth at once. But then his cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk's and he couldn't swallow. His friends were laughing so hard that they nearly fell off their seats.
Sure. One time at our college homecoming, the mascot's costume got stuck in a fence while trying to do a little pre - parade stunt.

Another story is that a group of students decided to do a synchronized dance routine during the homecoming talent show but half of them forgot the steps and it turned into a hilarious mess.
At a Baptist homecoming I attended, they had a potluck. One man brought a 'peculiar' looking casserole. When it was time to eat, everyone was a bit hesitant. But this one brave soul took a big bite and his face turned into a mixture of shock and amusement. Turns out the casserole had some very unexpected and strong - tasting ingredients. It became the talk of the day and still makes people laugh when they remember it.
Yes. In my university days, there was a funny incident during an exam. A student accidentally brought his cheat sheet for the wrong subject. When the professor noticed him looking at it nervously, he asked to see it. And the whole class burst out laughing when they saw it was for a completely different exam. And there was a campus legend about a ghost in the old dormitory. One night, a group of brave students decided to go on a 'ghost hunt' and ended up scaring each other so much that they ran out screaming. It was all in good fun though.
Sure. There's a story where a university's abandoned theater is haunted. People say that if you go there after dark, you can hear the faint sound of music and voices as if a performance is still going on. It was said that an actress died on stage many years ago and her presence still remains.
Well, the campus grounds also have their share of spooky stories. There's a particular spot near an old oak tree where people claim to feel a strange energy. Some say they've seen a woman in old - fashioned clothing sitting under the tree. It's not clear who she might be, but it could be someone with a connection to the university's past, perhaps a former student or faculty member's relative.
Sure. There's a story about a girl who died tragically on campus long ago. Her ghost is said to haunt the gardens. People sometimes smell a faint floral scent when there's no actual flowers in bloom nearby, which they believe is her presence. She might have loved the gardens when she was alive.
Sure. There are tales of a haunted dormitory. Students living there reported seeing a figure that looked like a former resident who passed away under mysterious circumstances. The figure would appear in the hallways at night, scaring those who encountered it.
Sure. In addition to the ones mentioned before, there are stories about a haunted dormitory. Residents have reported cold spots and strange whispers at night. It could be due to the large number of students who have passed through over the years, and perhaps one with a particularly sad or mysterious story left a spiritual presence.
