Sigma Kappa at Washington State University has the most rediculous ghost story ever - so of course, it's really fun to tell.
The story goes, that "back in the day," which usually is alluded to be the 1920s (at the very least, before we moved into our current house, which was 1935).
Anyway, at that time, there was a very pretty girl in our house named Aura. She was dating a boy from Sigma Nu, whose name no one remembers (we'll call him James). James had a roommate, also a Sigma Nu, and the roommate (here called Sam) was absolutely in love with Aura.
One night, James and Aura were out on a date, and were headed back to the Sigma Nu house. Now, being a gentleman, James decided to open the door for Aura and allow her into the doorway first.
That night, Sam was waiting on the stairs for James and Aura to return. His plan was to shoot and kill James, thereby winning Aura for himself. He, however, had not planned on Aura coming in first, and fired at the first person who walked in the door. Aura was fatally shot. As she lay on the floor dying, the Sigma Nu brothers came to investigate the noise.
At this point, James pulled out a gun and shot Sam, killing him instantly.
Not sure what to do, the Sigma Nu brothers picked up Aura, who was still barely alive, and carried her back to the Sigma Kappa house. When they got there and went inside, the brothers called for the sisters to come downstairs to see Aura. No one ever showed up, and to this day no one knows why. Maybe they didn't hear the guys, or maybe they were out that night. Either way, the men of Sigma Nu became so panicked that they set Aura down at the foot of the stairs and left.
Aura died alone. Because of this, if you stand on the landing and look over the railing to the first floor (we have a spiral staircase), and you are alone on the first floor and landing, you might feel someone touch your back. This is Aura, and it's her way of letting you know that because you are a sister of Sigma Kappa, you will never truely be alone.
Of course, we're not supposed to talk about Aura anymore because its "hazing" ever since some sisters changed the endings to say that the feeling on your back is Aura trying to push you over the railing to kill you.
