KRISTEN SKERRY'S STORYAlright,
so I live on the 3rd floor of Prospect Hall and I believe that I've
had a couple "haunting experiences" in the bathroom on that
floor. The first time was at 2:00 in the morning one day during my first
semester here and I was completely alone in the bathroom. No one was
there when I went in and no one came in while I was there. I was brushing
my teeth in the third sink and had my back to the rest of them , but
when I turned around, the first sink's faucet wasrunning full blast.
So I shut it off and turned around again, only to find it running when
I faced it again! I checked the shower and the attached kitchenette
and the stalls to see if someone was playing with me, but there was
no one there. Then another time early in the morning, I was alone in
the bathroom once again and distinctly heard a stall door slam shut
and lock. A little freaked out, I went around the corner to where the
stalls are and all the doors were wide open. Finally, on more than one
occasion when I was showering and thought I was alone, I'd randomly
feel a cold rush of air strike me and I'd get the feeling that I wasn't
alone. As soon as the coldness goes away, so does the feeling. So I
don't know if this is all coincedence since no one else on my floor
has shared similar experiences to mine, but I'm certainly convinced
that Prospect has a playful poltergiest confined to the 3rd floor bathroom. Submitted by Kristen Skerry, Class of 2008, to the Archives webpage on May 6, 2005.
