RADFORD, Va. — At Radford University, like most colleges, there are some very unique courses being covered.
In fact, there is a bedroom on campus that has been converted into a chamber, where students have been calling up the dead, for class credit.
It's almost always dark inside the first room on the left.
A recliner is in the center of what was once a bedroom. Black drapes seem to smother 19-year-old Kaitlyn Rankin.
...Radford University students are taking part in an independent study course that's quite different - learning about the afterlife by reaching out to the dead.
Students built a theatre of the mind chamber on the cheap. They call it the psychomanteum.
It is a simple setup inside an old apartment complex that has been turned into the Religious Studies Advising building at RU...."It has its own vibe."
The room is a 2-by-3 ½ foot mirror that seems odd. Two large black sheets hang from the ceiling, and a lamp is on the floor.
"...people...coming in here...are using an ancient ecstatic teaching that’s been used in ancient Greece and elsewhere to contact the dead," Susan Kwilescki, a professor of religious studies at Radford said.
The department secretary told us she wouldn't go near that room. She even offered this reporter a key to get in.
Ryan Waide is a junior. He helped build the chamber. He says it works....

The US has “colleges” on every block. No wonder why US education
is scoffed at worldwide.
