Sorin, who when the new bell for Sacred Heart cracked, decided on the only solution: buying an even larger bell, the biggest ever made, as well as an entire carillon that still has more bells than any other carillon in the country. r Some might say all this background has made Irish students a little superstitious.

They petitioned Father Malloy to expedite repairs to prevent whatever terrible things might be beyond fhe foreshadowed by the collapse of the statue. In what some see as an ironic resurrection parallel, the Sacred Heart statue was restored to its glory close to Easter of that year. In the spirit of Halloween, when all legends - founded in truth or not - receive their proper due, Scholastic takes a look at some of the hauntings, myths and lore that shape Notre Dame. Some of these are well known even among subway alums; some will surprise even the most avid of Notre Dame fans and historians. Enjoy.
