Four ghosts are said to haunt the University of Pittsburgh campus: a prima ballerina in the Tansky Family Lounge of the William Pitt Union; Harriet, who committed suicide in 1201 Bruce Hall; a grandmother who rumples the quilts and bakes phantom bread in the Early American Room of the Cathedral of Learning; and a mason who wears a black tux in Alumni Hall. Oak Hall and Laurel Hall are said to be haunted as well, as a result of being (allegedly) built atop Indian burial grounds. Legend has it that in 1986, Laurel Hall was exorcised because a knife flew across a room and stuck into a door.
