We have a running "joke" in my sorority that one of the founders (Sallie Michie to be exact, for any other Tri Sigmas out there) haunts our chapter room. I don't think anyone actually believes it. However.... We have a really old grandfather clock in the chapter room that is always stuck on the same time. No one ever moves the hands because the story goes that that's the time the clock stopped on when it was rescued from a huge fire many years ago. But occasionally the hands move. We don't actually SEE them move, we just happen to notice that it's not on the "correct" time sometimes. We also have a glass cabinet with silver on the shelves. Funny how sometimes the cabinet doors fly open and the stuff on the shelves falls out onto the floor. I'm not sure how it was decided that Sallie must be the one haunting us
Another story is that when my dad's father was alive, he lived in this old house that my dad had grown up in, and whenever we went to visit him I never wanted to go. The house gave me the creeps. I never actually saw anything, but I always heard strange noises and I was always told that it was just the house settling.
My dad's father died about 7 years ago, so now that we don't have to visit that house anymore, my dad decided to tell my brother and me the truth. He believes that house is haunted too. He says that when he was a kid (in that house) he was taking a shower one day when no one else was home. There was a room right next to the bathroom he was in, which had a door leading to outside that was warped and couldn't be opened. While he was in the shower, he heard a door open but he figured maybe it was his imagination. When he got out of the shower, however, he checked in that adjacent room, and sure enough the door that was impossible to open was standing wide open... and there was still no one else in the house.
