The Story
Campus stories describe a faceless Gray Ghost in Whipple Hall, apparitions and footsteps in Beecher and Sturtevant halls, and a mischievous presence called Gail in Ellis Hall. HauntedPlaces.org collects these building traditions together; they are retained as one college profile rather than inflated into separate entries. Concise original paraphrase of an attributed folklore source; historical details not independently established.
