The library is haunted by the ghost of happiness, youth and joy. If you listen closely, you can still hear the grad students lamenting the loss.

The Kissam dorms themselves are haunted by the monster under the bed. Or wait, maybe that white apparition is actually just mold.

When asked “Who you gonna call?” Chancellor Nick Zeppos enthusiastically responded “Ghostbusters!!” but on further reflection retracted this statement and instead decided to contact the proper local authorities.
