I remember hearing something about it while we were there. I only read something about it recently, though.

There are two stories of how the ghost came about: the unofficial legend. By which one night, a student returning to his own dorm was too tired or too drunk to use the stairs. So he hits the elevator button -- the doors open -- and he steps right into the empty shaft, the elevator having jammed about a floor above.

Then there's the official story, by which a student in 1979 -- possibly in a frat initiation -- deliberately stopped the elevator in an attempt to ride on top of it. Needless to say, the attempt went wrong, and he fell to his death.

Anyway, the story goes that the ghost is, for some reason or another, extremely resentful of female students. One student, returning to her dorm, found the door blocked by her dresser. Another reported that the ghost had attempted to suffocate her with her pillow in the middle of the night.

Just thought you might be interested. Phil
