MU #7 most haunted university in the midwest

[wadesworld]

I think someone committed suicide in his bedroom in McCormick my junior year (2009-2010).

Were there ever girls in O'Donnell?

Yes, back in the 60s it was a women's dorm.

Did that happen?

Yes, in 1981 when I was a Freshman on 6 in McCormick.  A kid on 8 right above me (who I did not know and cannot remember his name) committed suicide by jumping out his window.  If my memory is correct, it was the weekend before December finals.

"Whispering Willie," a boy who drowned in the pool when East Hall was home to the YMCA, haunts that building.

Willie Warrior?

That would be whining wailing Willie instead of whispering Willie.

Wisconsin Lutheran College right down the road is also known for being haunted. Have heard some crazy stories...

Had a creepy experience at Humphrey.  Some friends and I were talking about the children ghosts in Humphyey(we lived there 01-03) and how there was supposedly a morg in the basement as we were walking into the building.  When we got into the elevator we dared the "ghost" to take us to the basement which got us laughing....until the elevator went to the subbasement(which there wasn't even a button for)!  The only lights down there were coming out of the elevator and it was pitch black.  I tried exploring around a little but didn't want my friends ditching me down there with no sure way to get the elevator.  Creeped us out good.  Lived in East too, heard the storied about Willie, but never saw anything.  Friends were comm majors and talked about the Johnston Hall rumors but none ever experienced them.

My mom went to nursing school at what is now Froedert, was Milwaukee County General at the time.  She had some really creepy stories including one of her meeting the woman(in real life) in white that supposedly haunts the Pfister.

Wasn't Cobeen called the virgin vault?

Billy Hays of Midnight Express fame broke his leg trying to climb into an OD window back in the day?

I thought it was referred to as "Cowbeen Hall".

In fall it was Virgin Vault, in spring it was the Slut Hut....or so I was told

Story of the lady in white goes, in the late 60's a young couple were planning to get married both came from wealthy families.  I guess at the time it was normal to get physicals prior to marriage and it was discovered the bride was externally female, but internal...not so much.  Fiance leaves her, family rejects her, and she of course goes a little nutty, attempts to harm herself, etc.  They put her in the sanitarium at Milwaukee General for an extended period of time.  Eventually she shows improvement, enough that they grant her a weekend pass.  She immediately goes to the Pfister, checks into the suite that was to be her room for her wedding night and leaps out the window to her death.  And as such the lady in white is "born"

The Rave is also apparently very haunted.

I think that's just echos of rampant drug use, regret and a deuce Blues Traveler took their once.

We have endless nicknames for Cobeen nowadays. Its kind of like a "pick your favorite" type thing. Virgin Vault, Slut Hut, Pu**y palace, c**t castle, im sure some are slipping my mind at the moment.

And yes, there is a morgue in Humphrey. They still have to keep it available incase of emergency. My friend who works summer staff was down there and said there was a room there with just a single tricycle in the center of the room.
