THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Several buildings at Stephens College are associated with longstanding campus ghost stories. Legends include the singing Blue Ladies of Roblee Hall, a spirit named Sarah at Senior Hall, phantom infant cries at Searcy Hall, and the apparition of former drama instructor Maude Adams.
St. Stephens College has many ghosts, according to its campus lore. One haunted site is the Pillsbury/Roblee Dorm Hall, where three ghostly women called the Blue Ladies sing to students and tuck them in to bed at night. And a phantom baby cries at night at Searcy Hall, a lingering spirit of a newborn left in a locker by a student. At Senior Hall, a spirit named Sarah walks. She hanged herself here after her Civil War soldier lover was killed for deserting. Tower Hall is said to have a haunted fifth floor where several ghosts are rumored to reside.
