I will know shortly. My son was assigned a room in that dorm.

He jumped for the ninth floor. How does the axe play into this? When entering the "haunting realm," is one given an accessory? A chain to rattle, a bottle of blood and brush to write on the walls, or an axe to carry?
I briefly lived in Slater in 1978, but had to move because the nocturnal screaming kept me awake.
I should not be so flip because I have not had any experiences.
