    I am alumni of LMU and yes Grant Lee is haunted. I was on the very top floor...no other floors above. Every night it sounded like a kid was playing "jacks" or "marbles". I could even hear an old spinning top. This occured frequently. One night it smelled like someone had burnt bread in a toaster, but it wasnt nor al burnt toast because all I could do was stand in my room and cry. I just felt sad and couldn't move. Just cry. At the end of the semester I opted to go back to the Liles Hall dormitory and never heard anything else. I still recall that sadness I felt that day & nothing in my life so far compares to hiw strong that emotion was.
