They had weird things happen all the time. Mostly things turning on in the middle of the night. I lived above them and had things disappear and then I asked for it back and it returned. In Smith House basement some pretty freaky things have happened when I was down there.SigPhip05noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-21732773349725208572007-10-22T22:29:00.000-05:002007-10-22T22:29:00.000-05:002007-10-22T22:29:00.000-05:00ozy, You need an exorcism ritual called Maximus Beanois<BR/><BR/>WG, Accidental?

When I was in my friends room at Fayerweather we had the windows wide open then suddenly we were talking about ghosts and while no one was around the windows they slammed down by themselves. My friends that used to live in that room said that she was always missing things but then later turned up in plain site.<BR/><BR/>Another experience that I had was the story about Effie and her chair upstairs in Smith House. My friends and I moved it and the next time we came back it was in that original place plus sometimes when you go up there you get this eerie feeling. Also the Gamma Delta room on first floor has 2 big mirrors at both ends of the room and even though I have not seen anything myself a few friends of mine have seen someone in the reflection of the mirrors out of the corner of their eyes and when they look back it's gone. Also another thing about Smith House, some girls have actually seen a ghost in the main lobby of the house. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it can freak you out being at the school but when you figure on how old it's been there's gotta be some ghosts around. You hardly see anyone walking around by themselves in Smith House or any of the older buildingsdelt2009http://www.blogger.com/profile/09894571517750795622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-18450272542352170522007-10-20T11:15:00.000-05:002007-10-20T11:15:00.000-05:002007-10-20T11:15:00.000-05:00Yeah!

No one else was home, and no windows were open (it was December).

It was a place of many mysterious and unexplained goings on. Although everyone that visited there had their own stories to tell, my buddies' wife had the most chilling experience that had them sleeping elsewhere until they found a home of their own.<BR/>A few years later some vandals, upon hearing of the spooky happenings through a newspaper featuring stories such as what you are doing now for halloween, lit the old abandoned house on fire. <BR/>Later, that Spring, one of them drowned.<BR/>My buddy is convinced that the two are related.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13829911813257886445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206171.post-39982030196663192272007-10-17T15:13:00.000-05:002007-10-17T15:13:00.000-05:002007-10-17T15:13:00.000-05:00How on earth does that college get anyone to live in that dorm room (303)?<BR/><BR/>Or do they?<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's used as a closet now.

Until then I didn't believe in ghosts. But when the tv blew up and intercom turned on its own, I took off to my brother's room. I also noticed other strange happenings. Perhaps we can discuss this in private. It's a rather sensitive topic. There's another realm that we have no clue about.
