THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Several buildings at Hamline University are associated with reports of ghostly figures, strange sounds, and unexplained activity. Campus legends have persisted for decades.
Hamline University has a few haunted halls, say the students. One building said to see the most ghostly activity is the Manor Hall, where apparitions, moving objects and strange noises abound. The third floor is the most active. Old Main and Drew Hall are no slouches either, as far as hauntings go. At Old Main, a floating apparition with a noose round its neck has been seen. In addition, the portraits are said to have moving eyes. And at Drew Hall, there’s a story about a freshman who was messing with the elevator doors and got his hand cut off. Although the student lived, his hand was never found, and the students say it creeps around the hall looking for the rest of its body.
