Colleges in the US that are believed to be haunted by ghosts

Considering that Gettysburg College is located right near the site of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, where there were over 50,000 casualties, it’s perhaps not surprising that the Pennsylvania school has had reports of otherworldly activity related to war.

According to school publication The Gettysburgian, in the 1980s and early 2000s, a student and two school administrators saw a grisly, fully functioning Civil War-era operating room in the basement of Penn Hall, which had once served as a hospital and morgue for soldiers during the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.

According to reports, the individuals saw apparitions of bloody patients and doctors, but when they returned to check on the basement, the operating room had entirely disappeared.

In addition, in the campus’s Stevens Hall, which was built in 1911, residents have reported encountering an apparition named the “Blue Boy.”

According to folklore, Stevens — which was once a girls’ dormitory — is haunted by an orphan boy who some residents of the dorm housed during a cold night.

When their house mom unexpectedly came into the room to check on them, the girls put him outside on the third-story window ledge, but he was gone when they went to let him back inside.

Since then, some residents have reported hearing unexplained sounds and seeing an apparition of the boy’s blue face pressed against the windows of the building.
