The tour begins on the concrete steps by the large UTC sign, the city hum fading as streetlights thin and the campus takes on its own quieter rhythm. In that dim light the columns of the old cemetery stand like patient witnesses; your guide hands you an EMF meter and a temperature gun, and the night seems to lean closer to listen.
