Students at Hofstra Law noticed a curious sign posted in a stairwell door the other day. Apparently, Hofstra’s maintenance staff is well-versed in combating the forces of the netherworld and closed the stairwell after noting a spike in their PKE meters.
I guess it makes some sense. Hofstra is only about 20 minutes from Amityville, which is best known as the city that inspired a terrible Ryan Reynolds film, and evil like that is hard to keep down for long.
And a little further away there’s a house that is haunted “as a matter of law,” so New York knows what it’s talking about when it comes to hauntings.

This morning I emailed Hofstra Law and asked for any further information, “either who the pranksters are or what Sumerian deity inhabitants your stairwell.” The school has responded on their Facebook page explaining:
Some of you may have seen this sign posted at the Law School. Have no fear; this was only a student prank. Hofstra Law encourages both the supernatural and the prankster.
