Synopsis for "The Ghost Still Walks"

Reprint of the 5th story from
Adventures into Weird Worlds #6
Frat boys tell the legend of a pledge who died of fright during his initiation and placed a curse upon them. A new pledge laughs at the story but becomes increasingly anxious as the hour drags on that they must stay in the cursed manor. Finally, he can bear the hooded eyes of the frat leader gazing upon him no more, as he has become convinced the frat leader has been possessed by the dead boy's spirit. He yanks off the frat leader's hood, but the boy is normal in appearance. The frat leader is angered by this affront, and in turn yanks off the pledge's hood, but shrinks away in terror. The pledge's rotted hands shoot out and fasten themselves around the leader's neck until he is nothing but a corpse. Too late, the new pledge realizes that he has been the one possessed by the dead boy's spirit because he laughed at the legend.
