THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Moore Building is one of Western Carolina University's best-known haunted buildings. Students and staff have reported apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and unexplained activity after hours.
As rumor has it, in the mid-1960s a student was murdered after she refused a man’s amorous advances. She now is said to haunt the third floor, crying, screaming and pacing. The man was caught and served a few years in a mental hospital, but then was released. He passed away in the 1980s, and folks say the hauntings in the dorm, now turned into classrooms, has all but stopped. Students still claim to get the willies in the building, however.
