Title: Oglethorpe House
Post by: bayou girl on Nov 01, 2009, 06:39:35 PM: I've been promising to put this here for a while. I work in a building that is supposed to be haunted. It was built as a "motor in" back when such things were popular. The building is roughly the same age as I am (45) and houses around 400 students during the school year.

I'm putting links to the articles on the hauntings. I have to say, I've worked there for 4 years, and have yet to see or hear anything. And, there have been no reports this school year so far. Other than check in day, when the girls assigned to room 634 said "we read about the ghost, what can you tell me about it?"

I told them I had heard nothing other than what I read on the internet. But I did ask them if they would let me know if anything happened. I promised I wouldn't think they were crazy.

As for the ghost in the ball room (and yes, it is still called that) the only thing I have to say is that the a/c team cannot keep the a/c working right in there. either it is too hot, too cold, or there is a distinct difference in temp from one end of the room to the other. I have not seen anything remotely spectral beyond that.

so, here are the links:

this link has information on more than just Oglethorpe House (http://haunted_scad.tripod.com/id1.html)

I go to the other buildings periodically as part of my job, but not on a regular basis.

this link lists other college stories. Oglethorpe House is in item number 3 (http://www.classesandcareers.com/education/2007/10/26/it-came-from-college-ghost-stories-another-triumvirate-of-terror/)

I will finish with the thought that Savannah has nationally recognized ghost tours! It would be odd if O'House (as it is affectionately called) wasn't haunted.
