I travelled to Athens, Alabama today where I visited the oldest college in Alabama and took pictures of the University's haunted halls. Athens State University was founded in 1822 and is haunted by numerous ghosts. These ghost's story tell the the story of the history of the school. They are stories of lost love and tragic loss. These stories are part of the story of the South. The first is the story of a poor stable boy who died serving the head Mistress of Founder's Hall. At that time, Athen's University was an all girl's Christian College and the boy died serving the daughters of the old South. Founders Hall is also said to be haunted by the ghost of a poor girl who died in the light of her own candle.
Since the night in 1914 when the building was dedicated, folks on the Athens campus have reported seeing the ghostly form of a young lady in a formal white dress in and about McCandless Hall. This apparition, holding flowers, has been frequently observed casting a strange light from the third floor. Some students have smelled her flowers. Others have seen the ghost in the dressing rooms, as if she were preparing for a performance. Her phantom footsteps have been heard throughout the stately old structure. This beautiful ghost is said to be the ghost of Abigal Adams, a famous opera singer who performed at McCandless Hall. She died on her way home from the University.
There are many more ghosts that wander the grounds of Athens State, making it one of the most haunted schools and places I have ever been to. Tonight I am posting pictures, but I will tell the many ghost stories associated with this beautiful school more in depth when I have more time.
