Honestly? I've never heard that specific story about Cognitio College, but old campuses always have their legends. Think about it – old buildings, creaky floors, long shadows... it's a recipe for spooky tales. My guess is your aunt's story is a slightly embellished version of something that might have some basis in fact – maybe a student went missing under mysterious circumstances near the library years ago.

Obvious, but worth saying.
