<p>There was a thread regarding "haunted" college campuses earlier this week, and I can't seem to find it any longer. Nevertheless, I must ask: what are the creepiest places on your particular campus? Any stories or legends behind them? </p>
<p>My university has a building named McCarthy Hall that very few students are fond of; it houses the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, along with a few other, relevant humanities departments (e.g. anthropology). It was the first permanent building constructed on campus. Overall, the building just has an uneasy atmosphere; it's cramped, outdated, and permanently stuck in the 1960s/1970s. The building and its main elevator are both rumored to be "haunted" by the victim of an alleged slaying that took place decades ago. I personally don't believe in the "haunting" stories, but regardless, the building is creepy and unsettling. I cannot stand having classes in that building. </p>
<p>We have a road leading from our campus to an off-campus apartment, built about a decade ago. Most of the weekend parties that goes on around here are usually found in that apartment complex. There are stories about how it’s easy to be assaulted and raped on that road, especially at night. Stories goes that over a dozen “reported” rape cases are alleged to have occurred on that road, most of them happened when parties at the apartment are hosted</p>
<p>However, the lamps over there are pretty bright…and there’s been several security boxes installed along the road right now. Violence on the road is now impossible with all the security on them.</p>
<p>The main hall at my school used to be a turboculosis clinic. Furthermore, one of my professors stores his cadavers in one of the classrooms in the anthropology department O.O</p>
<p>Well there was this whole little war between the states a few years back.</p>
<p>Anyways, USC was used as a Hospital. There are tunnels all throughout campus that are closed off. They used the tunnels to transport the sick and what-not.</p>
<p>The current theater was the hospital during that time. The basement is where the morgue was. The basement is now used for storage and dressing rooms. They say that it’s haunted. I’ve had to go in there by myself before and it is really creepy.</p>
<p>Every year they have ghost tours around campus.</p>
<p>Coffey Residence Hall was recently torn down, but it was said that it was haunted by two ghosts. “Max” haunted room 311. The story is that he is the ghost of a professor who committed suicide in that room when the hall used to be used as faculty apartments. Max turned TVs on and off, flickered lights, and was otherwise annoying. “The White Lady” floated in and out of windows on the 2nd and 3rd floor.</p>
<p>East Residence Hall has a haunted basement, said to be caused by a portal between the living and the dead located underneath room B18. Doors close for no reason, and insane laughter is often heard. Other stories include seeing a burned impression of a nose on the bathroom ceiling, and several ghost sightings.</p>
<p>I haven’t experienced any of these paranormal occurrences for myself, yet. But it would sure add to my college experience if I did.</p>
<p>My Uni’s Nursing school is so weird. It is like an old cottage with like 3 or 4 little attached rooms on the side of the building (hard to describe). To get to the rooms, you have to walk outside through a garden. They just happen to be the classrooms, while the cottage is the faculty’s office! The whole campus used to be apart of a huge estate of an architect tycoon. The nursing building looks like it was a little guest cottage with a few garden sheds attached. </p>
<p>To get to the dean’s office, you have to walk through a tiny old door and up a huge flight of creaky stairs. It’s like something out of Harry Potter.</p>
<p>It’s all rather weird and a pain in the butt. The rooms are so old, small, and outdated. Luckily, they might be moving the nursing college into the Science building fairly soon. My university is doing a lot of renovating and restoration, so the Nursing college should be renovated fairly soon, anyway.</p>
<p>I can’t see walking out in scrubs in the middle of winter, while the faculty has the nice warm cottage. lol</p>
<p>The area where the music classrooms, theaters, and rehearsal spaces can be very creepy when you’re the only one there… Also pathways throughout the woods can be creepy too.</p>
<p>My friend’s college is actually kinda creepy, too. Their biggest and primary dorm building on campus is supposed to be haunted. In the 1880s, there was supposed to be a mass killing committed by a group of killers in that building. Over 40 students are murdered over the course of 3 years. Their school torn down and rebuilt the dorm building shortly after the group was caught (and hanged at the nearby city hall, I think). But I’ve heard it’s haunted by the victims’ ghosts to this day.</p>
<p>My friend said you can hear weird noises in the hall and ceiling at night, the light flickers (even when new light tubes are installed), and the shower pipes in the bathroom tend to clog up and spray water out violently shortly after…CREEPY !!!</p>
<p>there’s a path on campus, lakeshore path, that goes between a lake and a patch of forest. It’s poorly lit to unlit, so at night it’s known as rapeshore path. (apparently there have been rapes there) That’s the biggest one I know of.</p>
<p>I don’t know the full story buy our cafeteria is suppose to be haunted. 100’s of years ago the volleyball coach forced the girls on the team to sleep with him to keep their scholarships, and one day they got tired of it and hung him in the cafeteria.</p>
<p>@Icedragon: Right! Any location containing high EMF (electromagnetic field) levels can cause nausea, headaches, dizziness/vertigo, increased sadness and anxiety, and so forth. Individuals who are particularly sensitive to high EMF levels will most likely develop these symptoms when in and around such locations. These symptoms are typically attributed to paranormal claims, but this connection is erroneous.</p>
<p>Another thing about UConn. During the summer weekends, it can look like a ghost town over here. Population decrease in the summer, and more so when weekends come around. I am here for 3 weeks for a summer class, to jump start college. During the Fri-Sun period, there are rarely anyone on campus. I went to the dining hall (saw just 2 other ppls) and walked to the center of campus from my dorm. During the walk, I only saw 2 local residents and 5 UConn students (3 of them are working part-time here).</p>
<p>Gives me the creepy feeling walking outside…</p>
<p>A couple of creepy parts about my school, since it’s in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>But yeah. Try walking back to your dorm on your first day EVER on campus, on the ‘rape trail’, by yourself, right after a hurricane. With no phone service. I was strangely calm but utterly lost. I had no idea where I was going. </p>
<p>(BTW, Tracy, where are you staying on campus? My future roomie already lives on campus because of summer classes and my ex-roomie is there too taking classes but other than that, I don’t know anybody else.)</p>
<p>Rosebrooks, and I dine at the Rome Common. I mean, there’s dining hall workers out and about. But I saw very few students in my week here (2 more wks to go). I came across 2 students eating in the dining hall, and 5 more during my walk to the Student Union (and saw it’s closed).</p>
<p>7 students total is a bit low. Give me the creep a bit, but it’s quiet and calm here.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m living in a suite 2-rooms doubles. My suite mate is from CT and he went home for the weekend (the other suite mate left wk b4 I moved in). My roommate is also from CT and he went home every week from Fri to Tues, since he’s only a summer tutor here. Both are seniors, same major and such.</p>
