- St. Edward’s University

At Premont Hall, a student who had slipped in a shower and died (body not found for a week) is said to make himself heard by slamming windows and turning on faucets. There is a ghostly nun in Doyle Hall that haunts the place by turning on showers.

Spooky, huh? Some of the ghosts and spirits that are still here to this day can give us the spookiest feelings – Since we can’t talk to them, touch them, or help them with what they need, maybe it’s best if we just move along with our business and treat our spaces and spirits with respect.
