The dorm I lived in for several years at my alma mater was always said to be haunted.
The first haunting was from a girl who had been dumped by her boyfriend and hung herself in her room in the late '60s. However, her name didn't appear on any police reports or newspaper articles because her parents were super religious and didn't want the family to be further embarrassed. An RA actually researched the story while I was there and never found proof that someone died in the building, ever.
The second haunting was of a coal miner holding a lantern who would walk up and down the halls late at night. One of my sisters swears she saw him one night but she was coming back from a party... This story might have some credibility because they found several bodies in an unmarked cemetery during construction of that wing of the dorm.
I've heard rumors that my current chapter house is haunted...and I'm inclined to believe them due to personal experience.
