|---|---|
| Cumberland College | Archer Hall - It is rumored that a room on the first floor is haunted. The cause of the haunting is unknown. It is reported that posters fall off the wall no matter how much they're taped up, alarm clocks will go off at midnight despite them being set for a different time, cd players will come on by themselves, also different objects within the room will become misplaced inexplicably. |
| Cumberland College | Gillespie (Johnson) Hall - CC is a small school...everyone knows everyone else (1700 students). The freshman girls dorm has had several incidences on the third floor where they see a girl who does not live there. Sometimes the girl is crying and sometimes she just stares. Other times she is there and disappears. Doors close and open, TV’s and stereos come on and off, radios and computers turn on. Padlocked doors are opened and then when you walk back by (minutes later) it will be locked. So... |
| Gillespie Hall | In a room on the first floor that was numbered 13 has since been painted over that number and replaced with number 19. Things will be moved out of its place, you can hear a girl singing very quietly which seems to be opera, you can hear a violin being played, keys being placed on a desk, pushing on the bottom of the bed, a mysterious foot print on carpeted floor which seems to be wet will not go a way. |

There is no known reason for the girl to stand there. She is spotted singing quietly. Sometimes she is even spotted running down the hallway screaming after school when the school is nearly empty. |
| Williamsburg Independent Schools | The school was built on an old cemetery, some of the graves still reside on the grounds by the playground and football field. There are many different stories. One of which states that an Native American chief will appear at one end of the elementary hallway, and ride his horse down to the end of the hallway and then disappear. The gymnasium seems to be the next most haunted part of the school; there are a lot of stories surrounding it. Lights turning on and off and basketballs bouncing on th... |
