The Story
Southern Arkansas University's campus lore includes a resident apparition associated with Bussey Hall and a theater figure said to appear along a catwalk. HauntedPlaces.org explains the latter through a story about a student actress who died before a performance; those circumstances remain legend rather than verified biography. Research/access context: Its theater spelling is also inconsistent with other sources and needs normalization before detailed mapping. This profile groups the university traditions as one location. Residence halls, catwalks and backstage areas are restricted working spaces, not public ghost-hunting destinations.
