Lincoln Memorial University - Grant Lee Hall

Back in 2004 I was a student at LMU. I was pledging my sorority one night and happened to be outside Avery Hall rather late. I was startled to see a boy inside one of the offices, trying to get out of the window. He was frantic, but couldn't open it. He looked so real that I was thought it was a live person so I sent security in to help him since the building was locked up tight and I couldn't get in. Upon a search of the locked building, it was determined no one was in there and that there couldn't have been anyone there since all the offices and doors leading outside were locked. Apparently the building at least partially burned many years ago. I think what I saw was someone trying to escape the fire, but he didn't make it out. It's been over twenty years and I still remember the great on his face like it was yesterday.

I am a former LMU student and heard that there have been a couple suicides that have occurred at Grant-Lee in particular a Japanese exchange student who was impregnated while at LMU and she decided to kill herself instead of facing the “shame.”

I also have heard stories about Grant-Lee being a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients and it’s haunted for that reason as well.

I am a junior at LMU and have had my fair share of scary experiences. Avery- one of our educational building on campus is known to have footsteps all over the third floor when no one is there late at night (im there late usually working on projects.) Not only that, but In my personal dorm, I've had my lighthbulbs shattered, my doors knocked open and shut, power cut, I'ev heard distict breathing noises and other creepy feelings of people watching me. The campus is equally beautiful and terrifying ass there is historical value relating back to the civil war. Not only that, but LMU also was once the biggest hotel in America - The Four Seasons- and though it is gone and past the underground infrastructure still remains with tunnels and rooms under the main part of campus.
