We have at least one ghost in our house...possibly two.

Peg is our house ghost. She mainly lives in our formal room. Last year we fixed the door to our china cabinet, which had been broken for quite a while. Afterwards, lots of strange little things started happening in the upper floor. Things like tvs shutting on an off, light flickering, etc. My rommate and I had 2 vcrs break in one week. Mine, which was one of the ones built directly into the tv, was working fine and we were watchign a movie. We turned the tv off to go eat dinner and when we came back, it wasn't working anymore. The tv, however, still worked fine. About halfway through the spring semester the door of the cabinet broke again, and mysteriously all the mischief stopped upstairs. It was a little joke among the sisters that Peg was mad that we fixed her cabinet and had moved up to the attic, then came back down after it broke again.

The story of Peg is usually told to the pledges at one of their meetings, mainly because it is sort of a house tradition. I forget the details, as it has been a while since I heard it, but the way the story goes is that Peg was a sister from another chapter who died in a car crash on the main road to the back of our house. We had an alumni (early 90's) visit us during recruitment this year and she found Peg's picture on one of our old composites!

Our other ghost is still a bit of a mystery though... My grandbig told me this story about when she was living in the house.

One night she and her roommate had a mutual friend sleep over on the futon and when they woke up the next day, she was gone. My grandbig's roommate told her that she had woken up during the night and turned over to see a little girl in a white dress standing near the doorway. She though that she was dreaming, so she just rolled over and went back to sleep. Later that day, my grandbig talked to the other girl and asked why she left so suddenly. The girl told her that she had woken up during the night to see a little girl in a white dress standing next to the futon, staring at her. She was so scared she just grabbed her stuff and left. The strange thing is she gave the exact same description of the little girl as the roommate had and neither one had spoken to the other yet! Lots of other weird things would happen in that room too. My grandbig told me they used to come home and find their paddles (which they usually hung on the wall over their desks) placed on their chairs...when the door had been locked. The had a lot of electrical problems too, radios would turn on and off and whatnot. Another weird thing is that my roommate from last year lived in that room the year before (the year after my grandbig) and she always had problems with the tv too. Sometimes the tv would be off and when she leaned against her bed, it would go on. When she stopped leaning, it would go off again. The remote was sitting on the desk, so we know it wasn't that. Also, she was the only one that this would happen to. I tried right after she did it, and it didn't do anything...
