Student Soapbox |           Have you encountered a ghost?
“Yes, it was here in school, a year ago. I came with the Ghosts Hunters. … They were giving us a tour and all of a sudden I saw a shadow moving really, really quick without any feet. It was just passing by--I’m getting chills--I got scared. … After that, we passed by the Old Morgue. I felt really, really sick. … I just fell down, and a kid next to me fell down too. … We kept on walking, and after that I felt a hand touching my neck, and I turned around and there was nobody there. … It was really, really scary.”

“There was this one night … in September, it was raining. … I was pretty tired and the light was on. I turned to my roommate and asked if he minded if I turned off the light. He said ‘no.’ So, I reached up slowly to turn off the light and right before I was about 5, 6 inches away from the switch, they just turned off automatically. I was pretty scared, so I just covered my head and went directly to sleep.” 


Pete Torres
Freshman marketing major


“Last year in the dorms I stayed in [room] 217. At night you hear children running up the hallway and banging at your door; or at night you see the ghost pull up your covers around your head and touch you. … It was cool, but it was scary at the same time.”
