THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The University of Wisconsin–Whitewater campus has several ghost legends involving historic buildings and residence halls. Witnesses have reported apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and unexplained activity throughout the campus.
There are several spots rumored to cause the hairs on the back of your neck to go up at the University of Wisconsin. One is the Center of the Arts, where apparitions have been spotted, unexplained hammering comes from the metal lab at night and chairs move across the room. In the Delta Zeta House, the sound of someone walking down the creaky staircase has occurred, and in Clem Hall, bathroom stall doors slam, apparitions show up, and invisible folks talk and laugh or run down the halls. At Fricker Hall you may come across the apparition of a deceased student in the basement, and at Knilans Hall, a ghost librarian has been known to helpfully open doors and elevators for the living.
