Red face ghosts, psychos, and asylums...oh my!

Here at Butler University (in Indianapois) we have a few very true scary stories that I have read in old yearbooks and learned about in my Urban Legends class. First of all, it is a known fact that a ghost named Lydia haunts our TKE house, which used to be the old ZTA house. A ZTA was raped in 1964 at a fraternity house and that night hung herself in the cold dorm of her house. For over thirty years, the west wing of the house (where Lydia's ghost lives) has been boarded shut and will reopen for the first time this year. Odd things have been happening in the house this summer because supposedly Lydia is upset that her space is being invaded.
An interesting story from Butler happened in my residence hall freshman year. A girl was found bound and gagged and unconscious under her bed. Our small, private campus was on every news station and was on high alert for a week or so. Since a female student had been attacked in the neghborhood a week earlier, police were suspicious of another Ted Bundy type copycat. It turns out that the girl had actually done this to HERSELF for attention.
Lastly, I know that the DG house at University of Colorado-Boulder is an old asylum. VERY scary, supernatural occurances have been documented. Does anyne go to Boulder and know about this?
