Almost               every               university               campus               is               home               to               at               least               one               urban               legend               or               supposedly               haunted               building.

In               Florence,               Alabama,               the               local               university               has               not               avoided               this               fate.

In               fact,               rumor               has               it               that               at               least               four,               if               not               more,               ghosts               are               residents               who               attend               class               more               often               than               most               freshmen.

               An               Untold               Secret
               At               the               Guillot               University               Center,               a               dormitory               for               girls               once               thrived               over               the               same               grounds.

The               dorm               existed               when               the               university               was               known               as               Florence               State               Teacher's               College.

Apparently,               during               the               early               part               of               the               1900s               (though               interviews               on               the               subject               suggest               it               may               have               taken               place               closer               to               the               mid               1900s),               a               student               attending               the               college,               who               lived               in               the               dorm,               was               said               to               have               been               keeping               a               serious               secret.

The               inner               torment               of               the               mysterious               secret               became               too               much               for               her               to               bear.

The               distraught               student               committed               suicide               by               hanging               herself               from               the               elevator               shaft               located               in               the               tower               of               the               building.

To               this               day,               the               secret               has               never               surfaced.

All               that               is               known               for               certain               is               that               she               believed               the               secret               was               so               terrible               that               she               had               to               kill               herself               in               order               to               escape               it.
               According               to               Shadowlands               Hauntings               and               interviews               with               the               university's               staff,               it               is               said               that,               late               at               night,               security               guards               patrolling               the               building               hear               noises               that               sound               like               a               suddenly               drawn               taunt               and               a               heavy,               swinging               object.

The               Guillot               Center               was               built               where               the               old               dorm               storm,               but               strange               sounds               still               echo               down               the               second               floor               corridor               of               the               new               building               in               the               dead               of               night.
               Must               be               Good               Ol'               George
               The               Norton               Auditorium               has               its               own               tale.

It               is               believed               to               be               the               haunting               grounds               of               a               beloved               ghost               that               is               known               as               "George."               The               ghost               is               said               to               be               that               of               a               construction               worker               who               was               lending               his               services               to               the               building               sometime               during               its               construction               or               restoration.

He               fell               from               the               scaffold               he               was               working               from               and               met               his               death.
               Students               of               the               Theater               Department               believe               they               can               hear               George               travelling               the               catwalk.

George               is               also               reported               as               a               fan               of               playing               with               the               lights,               but               he               remains               a               favorite               audience               member               for               late-night               performers.
               Waving               Molly               at               the               Off-Campus               Bookstore
               At               the               Off               Campus               Bookstore,               the               upstairs'               window               is               the               most               likely               place               to               sight               the               ghost               named               Molly.

Molly               is               the               ghost               of               a               young               girl               said               to               dwell               in               the               upstairs'               room               and               look               down               below               at               the               unfortunate               pedestrians               she               wishes               to               recruit               as               playmates.

During               the               late               1930s               or               early               1940s,               the               girl,               whose               name               in               life               was               reportedly               Molly,               lived               in               the               same               building               with               her               parents.

The               legend               says               that               when               she               turned               eleven,               for               her               birthday,               her               parents               bought               her               a               puppy.

Soon               after,               the               young               dog               contracted               rabies               and               bit               the               girl               on               the               hand.

The               girl               soon               passed               away.
               To               this               day,               many               believe               that               her               ghost               has               been               sighted               on               numerous               occasions               wearing               a               lovely               dress               and               beaconing               for               visitors.

The               most               interesting               sighting               was               during               one               Homecoming               Parade               in               which               a               float               of               college               students               waved               at               a               small               girl               on               the               bookstore's               balcony.

When               the               students               asked               who               the               girl               was,               they               were               told               that               no               child               lived               in               the               building               and               that               their               little               admirer               was               none               other               than               dead               Molly.
               Wesleyan               Hall's               Civil               War               Era               Remnants
               While               exploring               The               University               of               North               Alabama,               you               may               encounter               Wesleyan               Hall,               where               the               ghost               of               a               Civil               War               general's               son               is               said               to               haunt               the               vicinity.

On               Waterloo               Road,               there               was               an               old               bridge               named               One               Lane,               which               was               positioned               over               Cypress               Creek.

The               son               is               said               to               have               jumped               head               first               into               the               water               from               the               bridge               and               drowned               as               a               result.

This               took               place               only               a               few               minutes               walk               from               the               campus.
               To               this               date,               some               believe               that               they               have               heard               the               wet               footsteps               of               the               son               during               the               middle               of               the               night.

Still,               some               students               say               they               have               heard               more               than               footsteps.

The               sound               of               an               unexplained               bouncing               ball               has               also               been               heard,               echoing               down               the               empty               corridors.

Individuals               from               classes               in               Wesleyan               Hall               also               have               reported               being               distracted               from               their               lectures               by               cold               chills               and               the               sudden               sensation               of               being               kicked               in               the               back.
               While               the               general's               son               is               the               ghost               most               often               associated               with               Wesleyan               Hall,               students               speculate               that               other               bothersome               spooks               call               Wesleyan               home.

Many               assume               that               they               are               remnants               of               the               Civil               War               as               well,               since               part               of               the               university               served               as               a               Confederate               command               post,               and               Wesleyan               Hall               was               used               by               both               the               Confederate               and               Union               armies               soon               after               it               was               built.
