The Smith College Ghost Files: Stories From the Most Haunted Campus in America was the documentary I directed for my Advanced Video Production class in Spring 2023.
Smith College, my alma mater, is widely considered to be the “most haunted campus in America.” For my documentary project, I interviewed three students who claim to have experienced paranormal activity while at Smith. As the director and cinematographer, I wanted to emulate the aesthetic of series such as Ancient Aliens to create a slightly comedic and campy tone. Additionally, I staged reenactments of the stories told by the interviewees.
