aethwolfSeeing a spot on the news for Haunted Halls of Ivy: Ghosts of Southern Colleges and Universities, which includes tales from the school I'm enrolled in, ETSU, prompted me to prod through the ETSU website and dig up the ghost stories from the school.
First president protects Gilbreath Hall
When it is late at night or a storm is brewing, you are likely to hear doors slam and windows close. Lights may suddenly turn off—without explanation. Not to worry. Our first President, Sidney G. Gilbreath (1911-1925), is taking care of his building and enforcing his rules. Look for him, at night, in an attic window.
Bud Frank Theater rehearsal watcher
Sudden appearance of light from an unknown source, strange sounds, and operation of theatre equipment are strange occurrences reported in the Bud Frank Theatre in Gilbreath Hall-but no one is there! Could it be Sidney Gilbreath, the building's namesake, who is sometimes observed in the audience during rehearsals?
Marble Boy and Sink Girl play in Clement Hall (If it's Lucille Clement Hall the tale's referring to,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
frocta, this one applies to you)
Good-natured Marble Boy and Sink Girl play in Clement Hall. Marble Boy fell down the elevator while playing marbles. He's still playing. Listen for the marbles rolling across the upper floor. If you find a faucet running in a sink in this residence hall-when a resident is not there--you'll know Sink Girl has paid a visit.
Burleson Hall Portrait Has Watchful Eyes
Burleson Hall is associated with two namesake English professors, a father (faculty member David) and daughter (Christine). She was very attractive and had big, beautiful eyes. Look at the portrait of her father, on the second floor, and watch Christine's eyes watch YOU! No matter where you move, the eyes follow-those big, beautiful eyes.
Former Librarian Guards Books in Old Sherrod Library
'Tis said a librarian died in the old Sherrod Library, but didn't leave. This dedicated professional watched over the stacks. If a book, pulled from the stacks, was not replaced, our librarian would reshelve it. Did she move to the new Sherrod Library? Did she stay in the soon-to-be renovated building? We should know when the renovations are complete!
