LOCATION
Why is Cumberland College, Otago said to be haunted?
Cumberland College, a University of Otago residence in Dunedin, occupies the former Dunedin Hospital Nurses' Home, a building completed in 1916 and linked by underground tunnels to both Dunedin Hospital and the neighboring Hayward College, once the maternity hospital. More than 7,000 students have lived there since the college was established in 1989, and generations of residents have passed down stories of a nurse in old-fashioned uniform seen walking the upper corridors late at night, a legacy locals connect to the building's original role housing nursing staff through decades of hospital service, including the 1918 influenza pandemic that overwhelmed New Zealand hospitals within two years of the building's opening. Students also tell of unexplained cold drafts and footsteps in the tunnel connecting to the old maternity wing, a passage many say they avoid using alone after dark.
