The Creepy Small Town In Iowa With Insane Paranormal Activity

A wrong turn could lead to the famous "Satan's Legion" room. Many students know the story of the student who hung himself here many years ago. The room carries a curse that involves a series of disappearances. According to current Friley Hall residents, the room remains indefinitely unoccupied.

Ghosts of students past? Books that jump off of shelves? Ames residents say the paranormal activity is harmless, but alarming. In fact, many students refuse to walk through certain areas because of the "cold spots" they feel and low moans they hear while trying to study.

Many employees and volunteers have gone up to the third balcony after failing to get the attention of the stranger, only to find that he has disappeared.

Slamming doors are a common occurrence, as is the distinct smell of flowers during the dead of winter in empty rooms at Curtiss Hall.

This ghost is especially fond of causing damage to fixtures. Exploding light bulbs, unexplained plumbing accidents and broken windows are a common occurrence at Beardshear.
