My sorority house is one of the oldest houses in Morgantown. It's been a school house (waaaay back when), a funeral home, and eventually a residence for a woman. (One of my sisters wrote a paper on this and researched the whole subject). Anyways, apparently the woman, Mrs. Wells, had 10 kids who all passed away for one reason or another, then she hung herself in the closet of what is now our "yellow room."
We've had an addition put onto our house, but about 15 girls still live on the old side. The girls say all the time that they hear whispering and footsteps late at night. Also, we have a piano in our formal room, and girls have heard it being played before. Our house isn't airconditioned, and it can be boiling in August and September. One of the sisters was sleeping with a few fans on, and they kept turning off in the middle of the night. Finally she was like, "Mrs. Wells, I'm really hot, please stop." and the fans stayed on the rest of the night. They also say that when they all pack up to leave for breaks, they can hear a faint crying. Like Mrs. Wells considers the in-house girls to be her children, leaving her.
Freaky stuff.
