THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Grant Lee Hall at Lincoln Memorial University has been the subject of campus ghost stories for decades. Students have reported apparitions, mysterious footsteps, unexplained voices, and doors opening on their own during the night. The residence hall remains one of the university's best-known paranormal locations.
The historic Grant Lee Hall dormitory building at Lincoln Memorial University was once part of a hotel, which caught fire in 1904, killing a woman and her child on the fourth floor. Her ghost has been seen in a red dress, including one day in the 1950s when the building caught fire again. She was witnessed at the fourth-floor window yelling for help. Witnesses also hear footsteps on the stairs, knocks at the doors, and doorknobs turning by themselves.
