| The Valley | Fires and figures in cloaks can be seen and heard chanting. |
| Western Illinois University | Bayliss Hall - Room 1117 - It has been reported that a girl who once lived in this room still haunts it today. As the story goes a freshman girl was pregnant but didn't want her parents to find out and so she delivered the baby in her room and then threw the evidence (including the child) down the trash chute. The girl then returned to her room and hung herself in the closet. Today the cries of the baby and the moans of the devastated girl can still be heard.- December Update: A local ghost h... |
| Western Illinois University | Bayliss hall - 501 - Story has it, a girl stayed alone in her room all weekend while her roommate went home. This girl suffered from severe depression. During the weekend, she hung herself in her closet. Her roommate then found her upon returning for the weekend. Strange occurrences now happen such as occasional lights turning on and off, strange noises, and cold spots. |
| Western Illinois University | Simpkins Hall - This building is the second oldest on campus. It was a grade school, high school, and finally the English building. There is a janitor that haunts the third floor. Many a professor has claimed that the janitor turns off their office light and closes the door while they were still working within. A little girl roams the 1st floor. You can here her little running footsteps and an occasional giggle. If you're lucky she asks if "you want to play". |
| Western Illinois University | Tanner Hall - In this building, there is a ghost on the twelfth floor. In 1972 a young man ran into the elevator door during a water fight. He fell to his death in the elevator shaft down to the fourth floor. Many occurrences such as people being touched and seeing a mysterious male on the floor have been reported. |
| Western Illinois University | Thompson Hall - In Thompson Hall, In the girls room 931, there are banging and knocking noises that are heard-both walls, ceiling, window, and door. Every few minutes it seems as if someone is trying to open the door. Nobody lives in either of the rooms next door to 931. Knocking on the window happens occasionally. |
| Western Illinois University | Washington Hall - Room 1217 - It was said that a girl killed herself after a fight with her boyfriend; she was found 2 days later by the RA. They still see sightings of her around the floor especially around the elevator and near her room. Supposedly the phone rings randomly and no one is on the phone supposedly its her boyfriend calling. |
