Marist College (Poughkeepsie, NY)

As legend has it, a student named Shelly was killed in the school's cafeteria by her jealous boyfriend.  Since her death, she has made her presence known in the dorm building where she used to live, Sheahan Hall.  She is a harmless presence.  She folds clothes, opens and closes doors, plays with the television and produces occasional bumps in the night.  On the campus, there is a grotto dedicated to those who died at Marist.  Some think she may be linked to some of the strange occurrances that happen at the grotto.

University at Albany (Albany, NY)

Two of the halls at the University at Albany are said to be haunted; Mohican Hall and Pierce Hall.  Mohican Hall is located on Indian Quad and since 1994 it has been said to be haunted by a young ghost that wanders the halls late at night and startles students awake.  Pierce Hall is located on Alumni Quad and is said to be haunted by a woman.  She has been seen at every point in the year just endlessly wandering the halls.  The identity of both spirits is unknown.

Hobart and William Smith Colleges (Geneva, NY)

In room 304 of Hirschon there have been many strange  and disturbing reports made.  Book are said to fly off the shelves by themselves.  The blinds will roll all the way up and then all the way back down all on their own.  Once a week, around one in the morning, scratching noises are heard along the walls.  Also, occasionally it sounds as if someone is walking around the room and tapping on the desks when there is clearly no one else around.  Sightings of apparitions have also been reported in the door mirror.
