Haunted Places Near Cape Girardeau, MO
5 reported haunted locations found near Cape Girardeau, MO.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| apartment complex | Formerly listed as The old Cape Girardeau hospital on Morgan Oak street - It was briefly used as a dorm by the University, but the number and quality of the hauntings was so spectacular that it was soon closed for that purpose. - March 2008 Update: It has since been torn down for apartment buildings. No activity has been reported. |
| Heartland Health Care Center | Some former residents that have passed on come back on nights that another resident passes on. Sometimes they can be heard and shadows seen. |
| South East Missouri State University | Cheney Hall - is said to be haunted. Around finals time, a girl living on the third floor couldn't handle the stress and committed suicide in her bathtub. It is said that no matter how hard they scrubbed, the blood would not come out of the tub. Instead of pulling the bathtub out and replacing it, they just built a shelf over it. Now, strange noises are heard in that room, and the door has a habit of slamming by itself when left open. |
| South East Missouri State University | The Music building - Lights and shadows have been seen, and doors have been heard slamming as well. Witnesses have seen figures walking down the hall that dissolved when they got close; and heard doors slamming hard as though they had been slung against the door frame. Investigation proved all doors locked and because of how the building is built and situated, it is easy to tell if someone else in the building. |
| South East Missouri State University | The Rose Theatre - is haunted by the jilted wife of a French trader who murdered him on the grounds before the theatre was built. "Mary" (as we fondly referred to her) is very temperamental and causes mischief whenever a play with a violent theme is produced. There has also been an old man seen sitting in the house when the theatre is empty as well as an unexplainable, un-removable bloodstain on the concrete in the house. |
