It's been said for years that the Sig Ep house at East Tennessee State is haunted. I have three family members (husband and two nephews) who lived in that house at different times. All three are skeptics about ghosts and such but attest to strange things happening in that house -- mainly doors and windows opening and closing, knocking on walls, things of that nature.
Story is, back in the 1960's, a brother (I'll call him Tom for the story) left school to serve in Viet Nam. One night, there was a huge party at the house with one of those jam packed, wall-to-wall people crowds. At some point, Tom showed up, which surprised people because he hadn't been overseas too long. Many people welcomed him back and tried to talk to him, but he didn't seem to really acknowledge them. He just kept moving around and through the crowd without speaking.
You know what's coming...wait for it...
The chapter got a call the next morning from Tom's parents -- they had gotten word the day before that he had been killed in Viet Nam.
