HUNTED DORMS

7 College Dorms That Are Allegedly Haunted


1. Peabody Hall, Miami University:
Miami University’s Peabody Hall is allegedly haunted by the ghost of Helen Peabody, the former Western Female Seminary principal. Peabody was known for being protective of her female students and was an ardent opponent of coeducation. She kept a close eye on the male students that wandered into the Western dormitory and was always suspicious of them. Long after her death, Ms. Peabody is said to roam the halls of the dormitory that now bears her name. Students have seen her ghost watching over the women in Peabody Hall and scaring off the men who wander onto the property.

2. Shelton Hall, Boston University:
Take one step inside BU’s Shelton Hall and you might never guess it is haunted, but go up to the fourth floor and you’re sure to feel something unsettling. Residents have reported several explainable events happening on this mysterious floor, including random elevator stops, dimming lights, and knocking on the door when no one is outside. It is famously believed to be haunted by American playwright, Eugene O’Neill, who died in room 401 of the then-Shelton Hotel. O’Neill was supposedly suffering from Parkinson’s disease and was practically bedridden from the illness when he died in 1953. Legend has it that O’Neill’s ghost roams Shelton Hall, haunting students who cross his path and creating an eerie ambience no one can truly explain.


3. Wiebking and Wilson Hall,
University of Northern Colorado: University of Northern Colorado has had its fair share of hauntings and ghost encounters over the years, but the most well-known story of all has to be the ghost of Edith. Rumor has it that Edith was a shy resident assistant who kept to herself and was often teased by the other students. They would play cruel practical jokes on Edith, causing her to retreat to the attic where she played with marbles. When all the students were gone during spring break, a depressed Edith allegedly went to the attic and hanged herself. Although there is no proof of Edith’s death, students living in both Wiebking and Wilson Hall have reported hearing marbles rolling around, while others claim Edith changes the channels on their TVs and moves around their furniture.


4. Butler Hall, Texas State
University
Legend has it that Butler Hall, a traditional, three-story dormitory on the campus of Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, is haunted. Residents of the co-ed facility claim to hear strange noises and random sounds of tapping on windows and doors during quiet hours. On many occasions, students have reported feelings of being watched in the laundry room and study lounges. There have also been reports of flickering hallways lights on the male section of the dorm.


5. Clark Hall, SUNY College-
Cortland:
At first glance, Clark Hall at SUNY College-Cortland may seem like your average college dormitory, but residents here know it’s far from normal. Room 716 in Clark Hall is allegedly haunted by the ghost of a former football player who can be spotted wearing his college uniform. Students also say he has a cut above his eye that perpetually bleeds.


6. Martyr's Court, Fordham
University:
Fordham University is an old school with plenty of spooky stories to tell.
Of all the reported ghost sightings on campus, the most frightening ones seem to occur in Martyrs’
Court. On many occasions, residents of the dormitory have seen a young blonde girl in the shower who doesn’t speak or respond to anyone. The ghost allegedly stands still and stares straight ahead before suddenly disappearing into thin air. Some claim to hear children laughing inside their walls and even seeing a male ghost walking aimlessly through the halls.


7. Wilson Hall, Ohio University
With more than 200 years of history, it’s no real surprise that Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, would have some chilling stories of ghost sightings and paranormal activities throughout campus. One particular dorm, Wilson Hall, has been the target of many famous haunting and school officials even went so far as to seal off room 428 because of the frightening incidents that have taken place here. Before it was deemed uninhabitable, students living in room 428 reported objects flying off of shelves and smashing into walls, doors opening and closing unexpectedly, and ghostly figures appearing inside of the room. According to Ohio University legends, a female student died after practicing occult-like activities in the now-condemned room. It’s believed that her spirit still lingers inside the room and has caused a great deal of fear and agony for its later inhabitants.

TRUE story

TRUE story


Elizabeth's School Spirits
Magnolia Avenue Elementary in
California: for 12-year-old me, that
school was the furthest thing from
normal. Rumors flew thick and fast
about Magnolia – some people said
that before it was a school, it was a
mansion, later destroyed to build a
mental institution. Death seemed to
have its hand on the mental
institution, because it was soon
turned into a cemetery. Some tales
claimed that the school was built
right on top of the cemetery without
the dead bodies being removed.

The stories were real enough to me.
I avoided being alone as much as
possible, but for a shy, lonely fifth-
grader like me, it was nigh
impossible to always travel with
someone. Everywhere I went
through the hallways, I could feel
gazes on me. Sometimes, an
invisible hand would touch me, or a
voice would whisper my name. No
matter how hard I looked, I could
never see anyone there.

One day, I raised my hand in class
to ask if I could use the restroom.
No one was in the bathroom; I
made sure of that before I settled in
to relieve myself. As I was wrapping
up, I heard the door slam. I peered
around the edge of the swinging
door, but saw nothing – until the
lights began to flicker.

Then I saw the shadowy figure of a
girl. She began to talk in a sing-song
voice, and I stood there and listened
to her. Fear paralyzed me, but
curiosity kept me from overcoming
that terror. She told me how she
died, and then she moved her hand
to indicate the ceiling. I knew what I
would see there, and I didn’t want
to follow her gesture, but it was as if
there was an invisible string attached
to my head. There she was, her
dead body, dangling in the middle
of the bathroom, swinging gently.

Footsteps interrupted my horrified
observation, and I jerked to see that
the girl was gone. Some of my
classmates came in, gossiping and
giving me strange looks. I hurried
back to class, vowing never to return
to that bathroom.

I found another restroom near the
cafeteria, and for a while, I was able
to go in peace. Then my friends
sniffed out the story about my
terrifying experience and, knowing I
was prone to such fears, decided to
dig up another tale of woe.

They told me that a girl went crazy in
one of the bathrooms – though no
one seemed to know which it was –
and that before she hung herself in
the big tree right outside, she was
raped by the school janitor. The
cruel man then locked her in the
bathroom for a long weekend,
without food or water and only her
thoughts to keep her company.

Her thoughts became her reality:
soon after the janitor let her out
(after forcing her to swear she
would never tell, on pain of death),
she would scream randomly,
pointing at mirrors all throughout
the school. She saw something
there, she would desperately tell
anyone who would listen. After
everyone rejected her story, she
climbed into the tree, tied a rope
around her neck, and hung herself.

It was the story of the girl from the
first bathroom. I led my friends back
there and we scoured the mirror.

After a while, I spotted a black dot,
which my friends claimed shifts
spots every time you return and look
in the mirror anew.

We all had our own theories about
the spot. Some of us thought it was
the soul of the girl, trapped forever
with her demons to haunt her.
Others said it was the devil’s spot,
trying to claim another young soul in
that bathroom.

At any rate, we stayed out of there.
