You're not talking about the Applied Science Complex on Ontario St. are you?
If so, that is off campus.

...Has anybody ever heard an approximate year for this story? That's the one thing I've never heard.

That was actually this year. The hall director was just watching the "Cyclone Season Ticket" DVD's all night.

It is connected to the golf course which is connected to the rest of campus. Would you consider the SW athletic complex or the Towers (neither of which is connected to central campus) a part of campus? If so, you should also consider Applied Science as part of campus. They even have a shuttle that goes from north campus to Applied. Aside, this thread was supposed to be campus or the Ames area.

I never had a problem with it, but some have said that Andrew/Richard house is haunted or creepy. To me it is just a old building.

The first link mentions a football player ghost in Linden Hall. Anyone know that story?

EDIT: I found this other story, but no details.

I worked Student Security in RCA a few semesters while I was at ISU. Lyons, Barton and Freeman Halls always creeped me out. I can't say that I saw any ghosts, but I did experience some things that put a scare into me, after one I refused to go back into Oak Elm again.

Okay, some details please.

I always thought the alley areas of Campustown were very interesting. When I lived on south Hyland, we would cut between Dogtown and the Birthright place to get to Mickey's. I always thought that parking line behind all those buildings was cool. Same for the little plaza between legacy tower and Lincoln Way. There was also another cool alley between Welch and Hayward that ran parallel with those roads, that was a nice "party highway".

We had to check the coolers in food service one night..they were running warm, so my partner and I decided to come back in an hour to check on them.

We came back and the lights were on, we turned them off..they kept turning back on. Finally got them off and on the way by the glass wall, I started counting reflections in the glass..1...2...3?..she saw them too...but there was no one else with us, just the two of us, checked the area several times and found nothing. On the way out, one of the doors opened and slammed behind us.

The Hall Director at the time even told us about seeing stuff there also.
