In one particularly creepy story, some college staff claim that the elevator malfunctioned as they were trying to leave the building and instead brought them to the basement where the doors opened to reveal a ghostly hospital scene with bloody doctors operating on wounded soldiers. To make matters worse for Gettysburg students, Pennsylvania Hall which is currently one of the main administrative buildings on campus was used as a hospital and communications post during the battle and is now teeming with ghosts of Civil War soldiers. If there is any college thatвЂ™s allowed to be haunted itвЂ™s Gettysburg as the campus sits beside the Gettysburg Battlefield where as many as 8,000 men were killed in the most brutal battle of the Civil War. There are plenty more ghosts where that came from including that of a student who accidentally died from asphyxiation when she didnвЂ™t realize she had turned on a gas stove and a mother who tragically murdered her own baby and then herself. It is said that the loversвЂ™ ghosts still wonder the building looking for each other. Since the romance frowned upon the star-crossed lovers would meet in a secret stairwell in Sessions House where they were living at the time which is now a residential building on SmithвЂ™s campus. One of the most famous ghost stories dates back to the Revolutionary War when British General John Burgoyne fell in love with an American lieutenantвЂ™s daughter. Smith is one of oldest and most prestigious womenвЂ™s colleges in the country and with alumnae like Gloria Steinem, Sylvia Plath, and Bett Friedan they have plenty to boast about on top of all the supernatural activity. 7 Of The Most Haunted College Campuses In America What is Halloween without a good old fashioned ghost story?
