Benedictine University

Founded in 1887 by Benedictine monks from St. Procopius Abbey, Benedictine University carries ghost stories across several of its campus buildings. Students and staff describe a little boy in a blue t-shirt and shorts seen wandering campus in any weather before vanishing; Benedictine Hall's fourth floor is said to be haunted by a clergyman, and rumors persist of an exorcism performed on the fifth floor after a student became disturbed following a Ouija board session in a nearby cemetery. Jaeger Hall is said to be haunted by children whose presence turns on residents' stereos at night, and in Neuzil Hall, a young boy and girl reportedly appeared in a photograph only after it was developed. Some also describe underground tunnels connecting parts of the campus.
