THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The University of North Dakota has numerous ghost stories tied to its oldest buildings and residence halls. Students and staff have reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and strange activity that has become part of campus tradition.
In the university’s John C. West Hall, the apparition of a young girl’s torso has been seen, believed to be the spirit of a student who froze to death outside the dorm. The ghost is said to tinker with the electricity and TVs in the complex. Also, in Stacher Hall (Technology Department), the apparition of a man’s arm has been seen sporadically in the doorway of the second-floor graphics darkroom. A feeling of being watched and a floral perfume along with small gusts of air have been detected in the computer lab.
