Name	Description
Springfield College	Alumni Hall - James Naismith, inventor of basketball (which was invented at Springfield college), though deceased, has been spotted several times over the past years lurking around Alumni Hall. Most of the sightings have been reported on the third floor, room 374 where he once lived. Room 373 is the most dreaded room on the campus.
Van Horn Park	In the unused part of the park on the other side of Armory St. the water in the pond was much deeper. In the nineteen twenties two boys drown there. In the summer sometimes you can hear them laughing and splashing, even though nobody is in the water. Some say they have even seen the water move as though some one is swimming in it.
Western New England College	Berkshire Hall - Room 401, the students feel that when they are getting up they cannot, like some force is holding them down. Supposedly a former student had hung himself in the room upon hearing that his girlfriend had broken up with him. The students also wake up with sound of broken glass.
Western New England College	Windham Hall 133 Students often feel watched and the inability to get warm. The room has a constant chill around it.
