THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Mays Hall is one of Stephen F. Austin State University's most famous haunted residence halls. Students have long reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, slamming doors, and other strange activity, with local tradition claiming the building stands on the site of a former hospital and morgue.
According to some reports, the building was once a hospital with a morgue in the basement. Other reports say the city hospital did not actually have a morgue in the basement. A 1940s-era ruined bomb shelter is said to be one one end. An eerie, negative feeling is said to pervade there.
