History & local legend
A freshman art student at Edinboro described an unsettling late-night session in Loveland Hall’s ceramics studio in 2010. Working alone at about two in the morning, the student had spent roughly twenty minutes on a project when an electric pottery wheel on the opposite side of the room suddenly began spinning at full speed.
Assuming someone had left it switched on, the student walked across to check. The wheel stopped as they approached. Only then did they notice that it was not plugged in.
In the recollection, posted in March 2014, the student said they abandoned the unfinished piece in the studio’s slop bucket, collected their belongings and ran out. They never worked alone in that room again.
