Happy #Halloween! Here’s the start of a spooky tale from a collection of #CardiffUniversity College Magazines handwritten by students throughout the 1880s and currently being transcribed by our intrepid volunteers.
“One day there called at a hotel in a quiet little town a stranger…” #EYAMonsters👻

Image shows detail of a page from Cardiff University College Magazine dated February 1887.

Collection held at Cardiff University Special Collections & Archives.
