Niagara University’s Clet Hall was the first building constructed after its founding as a seminary in 1860. An 1864 fire killed student Thomas Hopkins, who was said to be seen pleading for help from an upper-story window before he died. Now, his ghost is said to roam the halls of his former home opening doors and turning on lights or water faucets.

  1. Lived there – experienced it..In a single room on the right hand corner as you are facing the building from outside the Theatre wing – 2 floors up from where Bro. Augustine’s office was. Will share if anyone wants to know. Moved to O’Donoghue and had no problems there.
