  Current student

  I have been at Stephen’s since Fall 2022. My freshman year I lived in Pillsbury hall. Sophomore through senior year I lived in Tower, each year on the third floor but different rooms. So let’s start and go in year order. Freshman year: Pillsbury. I lived on the second floor. The first few weeks nothing really happened, it was quiet for the most part I would say. Around later September early October things had started to get active. My room had a hallway inside my room, it was probably about 10 foot long and I had a curtain to separate the hall into my bedroom. One night it looked like something was pushing it, it wasn’t laying flat like normal. It looked like how someone hides behind a curtain and it leaves a shape. I didn’t think anything of it but my dog watched it the entire time, he growled and I finally decided to tell whatever it was to leave and it wasn’t welcome, soon after it left and didn’t happen again. Multiple nights through out the year I heard humming/light singing and was even tucked in, my blankets would tighten around me like how a parent would tuck a child in. At first it made me nervous but eventually i realized that was the blue ladies and they were nice so i just let them do their thing. Now the last thing is the basement. I absolutely hated the basement, our laundry machines are down there so i had to go down there quiet a bit. One night i was up late, maybe midnight or a little after. I was headed up the stairs and something grabbed my ankle and dragged me down the stairs, I panicked and ran up the stairs, when I got to my room I saw there were claw marks on my calve and ankle. Sophomore year: Tower hall. Much didn’t happen this year, at least in my room not much happened. The only thing that really happened was something would sit in a chair in the corner of my room. It didn’t do anything, just would sit there. Junior year: tower hall. This year I had a room that had a personal hallway again, I shared it with my best friend. We would hear something walking in the hall all the time day and night and at night the light never turned off in the hall so when you had your lights off in the room, you could see something walking back-and-forth under the door where the light shun through. This was the most of what happened that year. Senior year(current year): tower hall. No this year I have an apartment and it is at the very far end of a Hall and this year. I would say I’ve had a lot of activity. I have aNo this year I have an apartment and it is at the very far end of a Hall and this year. I would say I’ve had a lot of activity. I have a living room a bathroom, a bedroom and a hallway. Every night, I make sure all my doors are fully closed and latched one day when I went home for a break I have cameras set up in my room for when my dog when I’m away from my dog I’m able to keep an eye on him one day I was in Springfield and my cameras had gone off. This was about a 4 Hour Dr. from when I left, and all of my bedroom doors were open wide open, and I know I had fully closed and latched every single one of them there’s a total of four doors in my bedroom, the bathroom door to closet doors and the main bedroom door all of them wide open. About two weeks ago there was something inside my bedroom at the time I was in bed with my dog. I was trying to go to sleep, and there was something walking circles in my bedroom. I could hear the floorboards creaking, and my dog was watching it the entire time after about 30 minutes. I finally told it to go away and that it wasn’t welcome and soon after it left, my friend is my neighbor who lives right across the hall for me. She also has an apartment and this entity goes back-and-forth between our apartments, and she has the chair that I had mentioned in my sophomore year and she has it sitting in the corner of her living room and she says that there is always something sitting in that chair she can see it in the peripheral of revision. It’s that never does anything but sit in the chair. She also says that occasionally at night she can hear her dishes, clinging and clanking in her cabinets while she is laying in bed with her dog as well and as I am typing this something is moving my kitchen towels and there is no way for them to be moving as there are no air currents or giraffes in my living room, but I see them going back-and-forth like someone is gently shaking them back-and-forth.

  I used to work at Stephens College

  I worked at Stephens College before and after Senior Hall was remodeled back in the 1989-1990s. I was in the Campus Facilities department and the Security Guards all saw two orbs on Senior Hall when it was closed prior to remodel. They could be seen on separate floors at the same time from the outside. I got to see it for myself as well. It was believed to be the Civil War Soldier and Sarah searching for each other.

  I don't believe in ghosts.....

  My daughter was a student here. Her dorm room was in Tower Hall. She said she experienced some "off" things. Things would fall off her walls in the middle of the night. Her dog would stand at the end of the bed staring at nothing. When the elevator was out of order she heard it start moving at 3 am. When she moved from the 3rd floor to the 1st she was at the end of the hall around the corner, there was a room next to her but it was then the end of the hall. There wasn't a student in the room next to her but at night she saw shadows under her door as if someone was walking back and forth in front of her door. She went on the tour of the 5th floor and said it was really creepy. All we heard was there was a fire and one or two students didn't make it out alive. As I said, I don't believe in that kind of stuff and think its all coincidental. We spent the night with her in her dorm room and didn't experience anything weird at all.
