    1. I live in the Seton part of the hall- tonight I was standing waiting for the ancient elevator I heard someone whisper my name in my ear. My hair even moved as though someone were speaking. I jumped and turned around but nobody was there.. awesome.

    2. Stayed there over the summer. I heard a weird voice in my ear speaking Latin. My mom was visiting and heard it too. I heard loud noises in room next to me late at night after person moved out day before. Terribly creepy place – don’t stay there.
