The dorm I'm an RA in used to be a posh hotel in the early 1900's, and its location right off Kenmore Square in Boston made it a favorite for Red Sox players of the time. Babe Ruth lived in Room 818, the corner room overlooking Beacon Street and Bay State Road. He absolutely loved the room, but was forced to give it up when sold to the Yankees (ie "curse of the Bambino") . . . apparently the Bambino still haunts the room, returning to his favorite place to live (according to legend) - residents report strange happenings in the room periodically, although it has actually caused the room to be one of the hardest to get into in the dorm (obviously it's an all-male suite . . . ). Weird stuff - a couple times a year we get weird stories from residents.
