Halloween Tread This Year?

No supernatural experience but the creepiest place on campus was....
The stacks in the library. Always deserted. Large dingy spaces with low ceilings and narrow aisles lined floor to ceiling with tightly packed musty old books. Quiet as death save the soft hum of florescent lighting. Any noise would startle you and rarely could see what made it due to the tight confines.

Never knew the purpose of those duplex desk cubes scattered throughout, that were always locked. I’d crawl under and stay for hours studying at the desk. It was a pretty creepy place...
In my 4 years being on campus I went into the library exactly 1 time for a total of less than 10 minutes, not scary for that 10 minutes.......
Back in the early 2000s, I had a job with the library maintenance crew, and our offices were down there. Around that same time, Timmy has just been introduced on SouthPark, and a guy that worked with us watched that show religiously.
Anyway, it only lasted for about a week, but for those 3-4 days, that same dude would find a way to somehow slip away while the rest of us were killing time in the stacks, and he’d then randomly find a spot to yell “TIMMY!!!” out of 17ing nowhere. Scared the living hell out of us every time

The creepiest place was Montgomery Hall, which had some type of satanic cult or witch's coven using the abandoned top floor for their meetings. Or, maybe it was all just a prank....

One night I decided I was going to keep climbing stairs until I got to the top of the stacks. Felt like I had climbed at least 10 sets of stairs. Never made it to the top. One set of stairs had a couple doing the deed on them and I felt it would just be rude to walk over/around them. Me personally, I could have found a much more comfortable place to bang my girlfriend, but whatever works for you.
I had classes in Montgomery all 4 years of college, spent many "all nighters" up there drawing plans and building models and never saw or heard anything. We'd occasionally go up to the roof and hang out which was kind of neat but never anything supernatural going on. There's more horror stories in the Amway MLM thread than in Montgomery
I always heard about the debil worshippers and their altar out in what used to be the woods behind Suttle. Someone I knew swore he saw them out there before in the early 90's. A moot point now with all of the construction, but an interesting yarn at the time.
The only thing I remember about the woods behind suttle was...
A huge number of starlings used to roost back there around 79 or 80 & they found histoplasmosis back there. That prolly killed off all the devil worshipers.

You could have just taken the elevator. Which was part of the experience. It was an old hydraulic unit just big enough to carry maybe three or four people max and it made all sorts of creaks and groans as it moved as if it was ushering one into the netherworld. Incidentally, there were 6 stacks.
Hilbun hall in the early 1980's
I'd go up there because it was a quiet place to study and was open all night. Usually, we could find a copy of Dr. Keady's Strat and Sed or Structural Geology tests floating around.
However, that building made creepy sounds after midnight.

No ghosts or supernatural experiences but two weird things on campus and both happened during tailgating.
1: Years ago during one of Mullen's first years I was tailgating way over by Rice Hall. The nearest open restrooms were in Allen. I walked in, the lights were off but it was daylight so there was ambient light coming through the windows in the classroom doors. There was also a weird, hospital type smell and I could hear the faint echos of kids laughing out in the lobby area and I was the only person in the hall. It was like I had walked into an old insane asylum. I just knew as I rounded the corner I was coming up on in the hallway that those two little girls from The Shining were going to be standing there. The feeling was bad enough that I almost went outside and found a bush. I pissed and got the hell outta there as fast as I could.
2:The second thing happened this year after the ULL game. As we were packing up our tailgate in Bully Grass about midnight, I saw two lights in the sky with one above the other moving south to north high in the eastern sky. As I leaned down to kill the generator and unplug the cord, I thought I saw the vertical distance between them grow then shrink back very quickly but I wasn't sure. When I stood back up and looked again, sure enough that is what was happening. Then, the bottom light was on top. Afterwards, one moved to where it was trailing the other one. All the while both were moving south to north. I called my girlfriend over and pointed them out to her to get a second witness and she saw the same thing. The lights eventually vanished to the north. It was just two dim white lights that were not flashing. They were not strobes or red/green position lights. I'm an aero engineer and have been around aircraft since '86 and my girlfriend is a mech. engineer and flies drones. It was not a plane and she said it wasn't a drone. The movements were too quick and the position changes and distances between the two lights happened too fast for it to be a plane or multiple drones. We never saw any structure or heard any sound. Neither of us had had a drop to drink either. We still have no idea what it was. I hate to say it but.....I guess I've seen a UFO!

I don't have any ******** ghost encounters, but I could definitely write horror scripts. Problem is they are so dark and dreadful no one would ever make them into motion pictures. I'm not sure if you could. Besides there's no reason to.
I always thought ghost stories were basically people's fantasies. The imagination is the scariest fear factory.

I remember them well. Close to dusk, the skies would turn dark early because of the huge number of birds flying in to roost. When it was raining and they would fly over, it was one of the most putrid smells that I have ever encountered. The odor was almost bad enough to make me sick.
Totally agree with you, especially on the last part. The scariest movies are often scarce on imagery but rich in provocativeness. The very scariest movies blend the two seamlessly.
A friend of mine who was a sheriff’s deputy
Was patrolling a rural area in northeast MS sometime in the mid 90s. He pulled of a gravel road and up a short field to take a leak. On that narrow road was an old wooden casket sitting on two wooden saw horses. One end of it was open. He walked up to it and saw...
nothing. It was empty. But it still had what was left of the fabric inside of it. They checked or had the people running the cemeteries check to see if anything was “disturbed” and there were no reports of anything in the cemeteries in a pretty big radius. No calls ever came in about any grave being disturbed.. anywhere.
I went with him to look at it the next day after calling ********. Saw it with my own eyes. There it was. Broad daylight. End was open. There was even a pillow in it. Nothing inside. No dirt on it like it had just been dug up, but it wasn’t new either. He said “you should have found it at night if you think this is spooky. You know there wasn’t anything in it, try not knowing and walking up on it with a flashlight.”
they never found out where it came from.

Oh, there are/were some professors' office doors that basically had the same warning written on them in Carpenter . . .
