really count as a sorority story but...
Condie is the famous ghost of Main, which is a very old womens' dorm, on the University of Montevallo campus. The story is that she and her roommate were using a hot plate to cook one night and she somehow caught her nightgown on fire and for whatever reason ran out of the room and down the stairs until someone put it out. She later died in the hospital. She allegedly can be heard screaming (never heard it), leaves creepy images in her old wooden door, and moves objects/hides things/all the regular ghost antics. The school pulls out her old door which is in storage in Main year round during Halloween tours because there is something that admittedly looks a good bit like a screaming face with flames coming from the top of the head. Legend says that her door was replaced twice and each time the same image appeared, so they replaced her door with a metal door. I had always assumed her room was one of the two storage rooms at the top of the 4th floor as they both have metal doors, but I've been told both by Alpha Gams and other sorority and fraternity members that the location of her room is actually on the AGD hall (3rd floor of Main)...though the school doesn't ever say whether that's true or not for obvious reasons. I will say I had a few creep-tastic experiences on the hall, from my door randomly opening and shutting unless it was locked (which could be the extremely old dorm settling...or Condie?), chairs spinning by themselves at the end of the hall, knocking on pipes, random black outs of radios...all of the traditional "ghost activities".
The Delta Chi house's story is that a couple lived in their house about 20-30 years ago and the man was both a drunk and a wife beater. As it was told to me, the wife finally shot her husband right in the doorway after taking one too many beatings, and the house was sold for cheap. I swear to this day I've seen something walking through what used to be the pool room, and I have definitely heard distinct footsteps while I was alone in the front room. Admittedly, I'm gullible, but I'm way more creeped out by their house at night when it's quiet than I am by Main.
Hanson dorm (which houses DG) supposedly has a ghost as well, but I don't remember the story on her. Maybe she plays the piano downstairs?
There's a stair well with an entrance on the 4th floor where this door is. The easiest way to break in is by climbing onto the roof and coming in that way, which I have never been brave enough to even consider since my fear of heights is so ridiculous. I always stayed behind on those trips.
It's a freaky image if you look at it closely, but I swear I've seen a similar pattern in a couple of doors downstairs...makes for a great ghost story, though.
