Was it Salve Regina University? (I didn't know that was haunted!
) They have some beautiful buildings, not to mention their most famous dormitory, Seaview Terrace—the Mansion that served to be the iconic visual structure for "Collinwood" in the old tv series, Dark Shadows. I've been by Seaview Terrace a number of times through the years, and I can't believe that magnificent structure was turned into a dormitory!!
That it was. I currently hate them at the moment and will never give them money. But it's a beautiful campus.. think it cost $49,000 to be an on campus resident now. I got the school for half off, cheaper when I was their (35000), because my cousin is a Sister of Mercy. If not, I would have gone to UMaine. Which probably would have been better. Sigh.
Seaview Terrace (or Carey Mansion) is back into a private home. Sophomore year, when we went to look at dorms, I was so freaked out about the mansion, I took a few steps in and walked right back out. I still worked there as a work-study checking people into the dorm. That was interesting sometimes being alone til 2 in the morning if a freaky building.
My dorm freshman year, brand new dorm, actually set school back a week so they could finish it. A plastic cup was in the middle of a table. When I woke up, it was on the ground.
===========================================================================
--Carey Mansion, supposedly a nun hung herself. The room is boarded up and every month a priest has to come in and bless the house.
--McAuley Hall, is haunted by a little boy who fell out of a window while watching his parents arrive by boat.
--Watts, Adam, a young boy who supposedly lived in Watts and fell down the stairs, after chasing a ball in the annex. Supposedly the little boy was a son of William Watts Sherman but there is no record indicating that William Watts Sherman produced any male heirs.
--Wakehurst - that on the night of the first snow fall, you can see a young woman pushing an antique style baby carriage around the property. A man walking from window to window on the top floor of Wakehurst, which at the time was not in use and was only for storage from the activities office. Story of a ghost dressed in equestrian gear who lives on the third floor.
I think that's it for now.
