Some about University of Iowa...
The one Valkyrie is talking about is in one of the dorms here (Currier) in 1913 when it was the all-womens dorm, there were three roommates on the fourth floor of the dorm that found out they'd all been dating the same man. The room now is a study room or lounge and people say that the lights flicker, but no one really knows the truth. Also in Currier hall there is supposed to be a half floor, like a set of five rooms that are under the stairway where there is no RA or something.
No windows in the English/Philosophy building open.
All dorms here are coed, and supposedly Burge dorm is supposed to be ranked by David Letterman or Playboy or something as the #1 party dorm in the nation. It's pretty crazy, but I'd say they all are.
If you notice the windows on some of the dorms (Burge, Stanley, Daum) swing open all the way out and the part that opens are two panes about two ft. tall by two ft. wide, but only up to the third floor, the rest of the way up they crank up and down and there are three panes about 6 in tall. by two foot wide. I think it is to prevent someone from jumping out of the windows above the third floor, since they are higher up, the fall would be more likely to kill.
Someone jumped out of the seventh floor lounge in one of the dorms (Stanley) and killed himself (true).
Valkyrie, What used to be the Sigma Kappa house is now the ZTA house. It has a weird kind of look to it, too, so maybe it used to be an old sanitarium... Here is a pic.
There also is a true story about a doctoral student, back in the early nineties, who was upset that he didn't win an award for his dissertation, so he went on a shooting spree and killed three professors, the vice president, and the student who got the award, and himself, he also wounded someone I think, too. I'm not sure if anything is "haunted" because of this, but I know it is creepy because I have classes in one of the buildings where it happened.
