(Edited to fix a typo caused by my apparent lack of ability to spell)
Halloween night probably ‘02 or ‘03, I was working up on the 2nd floor of Johnston Hall when the burglar alarm for one of the 5th floor labs started going off. (The bell / control panel is in the engineering shop on the 2nd floor, by the TV studios.)
I called DPS to inform them that the alarm was going off and then silenced it. One of their officers came up to the 2nd floor and told me I had to go up there with him because he was “not going up there alone on Halloween.”
For those who don’t know the story, Johnston Hall is rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of former SJs who committed suicide by jumping off the 5th floor window. (Not to mention the American Indian ghost who haunts the basement / 1st floor.)
Anyway. We went up there, I unlocked the room (yay for having access to the master key!) and we found…..nothing at all. Everything was the way it should have been. We closed up the room, tried to reset the alarm but it wouldn’t reset.
I hate being frightened. Not to mention, I have an overactive imagination that makes me become paranoid.
