The University of Alabama
During the Civil War, a treaty was signed in this building. On the first attempt, a Union soldier entered alone, and was beaten, tortured, and finally killed. Today, in addition to scraping sounds, footsteps, moaning, screaming are also heard.
I bet the Union boy was an Auburn fan….
Roll Tide Roll.

I wonder if anyone’s ever stayed in the University alone. I think I’m going to try it once. Do I have any takers to join me?
Comment by Elizabeth Justus | 12.9.2005 | 1:00 pm
yea so cool but
in huntsville their is a railroad tracks that at late at night you can go to a railroad .park your car get out, put power on roof and inside if you have thing that are value take them out and wait at 12:00 eactly the car well turn flip but no train what until it stoops go to the car you will see foot prints and hand prints. and some things well not be be there like keys or money ect.
Because long a go 5 kids for a gang were go to a friends house at 12:00 and got killed from the train there are more like some say it is a van full of kids coming home for a football game late at night no one knows for sure .
IF YOU DO THIS YOU MAYE NOT WASNT TO USE YOUR CAR LIKE MAYE A OLD CAR BECAUSE THEY WILL MESS IT UP

And now to the bussines!
Taylor, if that, what You are speaking of is true, I AM SO THERE! Okay, I can’t beacause I live in Finland..
About the poor soldier, I can not see why his soul couldn’t be in there, trapped in the horrible play of history. But even if his fate was cruel, I would like to see it. Poor boy. Well, if I lived in Alabama I would come with You, miz Elisabeth, but the cruel truth is, that I live accros the sea as I mentioned before.

Comment by Ali | 01.23.2006 | 7:21 pm
Of course, my friend, not all stories are true. It may be that none of this is true, but who can tell. You may say,that You can, but who are we to belive You, with all respect.
I, myself do not belive even 87 per cent of this sites stories, because as I think of it, they can be rationally explained. Still there are sometimes some things that You can not explaine in ratinal sense. And if some people want to belive that there are ghost or even UFO’s behind thouse phenomenons, let them belive. What harm will they make by beliveing at something.
I do not belive in God, for instanse, but I do not shout “How stupid You are, you f*****g morans!?” to thouse who want to belive. You may now say “what about thouse who shoot others because they then think that they get to go to heaven?!” I am not talking about them, you know.
My point is, if someone stranger in this site says that he belives in ghosts, do not call them idiots. Mind Your manners, pelase! You have a point with the phrases, but You can say it in a polite way without makeing a fuzz about it. Thank You.

Well, I was doing a summer program @ the university and weird things were happening in my room. Our microwave kept on making this banging noise, even when we unplugged it!!! And the pictures my roommate & I took in the room came out freaky, with white splotches! We used a disposible camera, and we even used a digital camera and the pictures still came out messed up and spoltchy and stuff. (and believe me that’s a nice camera, its not messed up).
It was a strange experience…
Comment by Vivo | 03.23.2006 | 6:50 pm
Hey, why does noone ever have anything for Gadsden, Hokes Bluff or Ballplay?? Gadsden is plenty haunted as is Ballplay. I’ve only been to a few things in Gadsden and I know there’s got to be more around. If anyone knows anymore haunted places in or around Gadsden Alabama, e-mail me at crazychica013@aol.com You can also IM me on AOL as crazychica013 and on Yahoo as crazychica174

I really wish there was more to this story. There’s not much I can say about such a short passage. Does anyone know if there is a link on this website where it explains more? Well, if not, then I might as well make the most of this comment. I can’t explain the alleged moaning and screaming, but scratching and other such noises could easily be caused by small creatures such as mice. Not that I don’t believe in ghosts mind you, but like I said, there isn’t a lot to this story that could make me belive a word it says.

The building this occurred in is called Jason’s Shrine. It is a small round building that is located near Gargus Library on the quad. It used to be the gatehouse when the University was an Academy during the Civil War. There are several other places of interest. Smith Hall is supposedly haunted by the professor it is named after. Dr. Smith’s carriage is exhibited on the main floor of the building and it has been reported you can hear the wheels and horses’ hooves pulling it. Also, you can hear footsteps entering the large classooms upstairs and lecturing coming from the room at night when the building is only opened to doctoral students. Several students reported they felt someone overlooking their work when they were in the basement lab. Another place on campus is a fraternity house haunted by a young girl named Bella Donna that was murdered by her father and buried in the wall. When the fraternity built a new house on fraternity row they took a brick from the old house and she has been seen by several frat boys in the new house. She woke several boys covering them up in the middle of the night and has been seen on the stairs numerous times. If anyone knows of any other stories, please post comments. Thanks and…Roll Tide!!!!
Comment by Gwinda | 10.20.2006 | 10:45 pm
Ok ok let me be the first to despell this myth. The building that you are talking about is called “The Little Round House” and it sits next to Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library right off of the quad on the University of Alabama Campus. This House served as a sentry station for the cadets that used to be stationed at The Univerisity when it was still a military academy. So far as i know, and i’ve been in Tuscaloosa a while this area is not haunted, or at least i haven’t heard anything about it. I have been on campus late at night and have never experienced anything at the little White house, so i have to say that at least for myself, this place is not haunted, as far as the Frat house goes, i dunno, i try to stay as far away from Fraternities as i can get.
Comment by Tyler Richards | 10.24.2006 | 7:35 pm
It’s called both the Jason’s Shrine and the Little Roundhouse. It’s where a secret society now meets that only allows 20 people per year. You have to put your ear to the door at night to hear the noises according to the guy who lead my tour around campus. I’d reccommend doing it at 3:00 AM because that’s the “witching hour.”

welll i have read thru all these comments quickly and as to the non believers what do u think happens after we die do we just poof dissapear and there is no more to us i highly doubt that i mean i couldnt imagine no after life, but u know everyone has their own personal opinions and beliefs, those who do believe in ghosts arent iddiots otherwise ure just as much of an iddiot for not believing sound fair i think so… ive had something happen to me where i was standing in the bathroom at my old house and a white shadowy thing flashed past as i was looking in the big mirror we have in our bathroom and u can see out the door and into our hallway, i duno if it was or wasnt real or if there was sum explaination for it but i guess for all u non believers youll have to mayb head on up to a haunted place stay there by ureself the night and see what happens
if ure not too scared that is and if u are then mayb u do believe

Wow, all I can say is, wow. So you’re telling me, that a ghost haunts a university building? Not like it’s news to me or anything, because I live in Tuscaloosa after all, but this is the first I’ve heard of there being the ghost of a Union soldier haunting one of our campus buildings. I’ll need to investigate that for myself.
Comment by Brett | 07.6.2007 | 7:04 pm
Years ago, I had classes in Smith Hall & that place used to definitely give me the creeps at times. One of my grad assistants had many experiences in the building late at night…hearing noises, footsteps walking through the exhibition hall, always feeling like you were being watched. But this was the spookiest thing he experienced…in the wee hours of the morning, he was alone in Smith Hall doing some work & he heard noises coming from a closet. He went over & opened the door but nothing was in there however he was suddenly pushed from behind into the closet & was locked in! He tried repeatedly to get the door open with no success & there was no one else around to let him out. So he spent the rest of the night in closet & the next morning, he woke up & tried the door & it opened with no problem! He said it really freaked him out to have to be there alone late at night & from that point on, he ignored any sounds he heard & tried to concentrate on his work! He’s braver than I would have been. It would difficult to go back in there after that kind of experience. So, yes…I do think that Smith Hall is haunted & I’ve also heard the stories of the Little Roundhouse being haunted.
Comment by Kim | 07.25.2007 | 11:39 pm
I read through all of these comments thinking I would find pertinent information. And I did from some of you, but I must say I didn’t expect a teenage chat room. Also I got to the bottom and read the “Please use correct grammar, cpitalization, and punctuation” message, and I find it rather ironic. Maybe it should be posted at the top.
Comment by Samantha | 08.10.2007 | 1:02 am
Sam- I’m for real on pertinent information. What’s your question?
Comment by loco | 08.24.2007 | 4:40 pm
There are many ghost stories on the UA campus - most are probably rumors. Places to check out:
Tutwiler Hall and Rose Towers: There is a 13th floor in each building. A girl was rumored to have drenched herself in gasoline and set herself on fire in a bathtub in Tutwiler Hall. A student felt her apartment was haunted in Rose Towers and woke up feeling that she was being strangled one night. She lived on the 13th floor.
Gorgas Library, The Little Round House and The Quad: The Little Roundhouse is directly next to the Gorgas Library. Gorgas was burned to the ground during the civil war and was rebuilt sometime later. Students have claimed to have seen Amelia Gayle Gorgas (for whom the building was named.) Students in the Music Library on the wing next to the roundhouse have had strange sightings of an unknown man in a black suit and one girl felt a hand on her shoulder while she was on a step stool in the stacks. Some people report strange sounds such as cracking, popping and wispering that have no explanation. Some people say that they have seen soldiers on the Quad on foggy nights.
Rowand-Johnson Hall: In this building are the Gallaway and Allen-Bales Theatres. Marian Gallaway was a theatre director in the 40’s or 50’s - rumored to have had a relationship with Tennessee Williams - she has been sighted in white on the stage, in the light-booth and balls of light have been seen in the attic. Allen-Bales died recently and an actor saw him in the audience after his death - another group of students have seen balls of light in the lighting grid above the stage after the power has been shut off.
Smith Hall: Mentioned in previous comments.
Hoole Special Collections Library: There is an elaborate stained glass window that has special significance to a benefactor of the library. There is some story about the windown being covered in locusts or some other bug that had meaning for Hoole. Also, in the evenings a while back the building would remain open on the first floor but the Library on the upper floors would close so the elevator service would be shut down. Despite there being no power to lift the elevator - the elevator would run of its own accord and open at the library lobby.

I stayed in the mens freshamn residence hall in 91 and 92. My roomate and i had a couple wierd experiences. 2nd floor, the room with the private bathroom next to the study hall. We had door slamming with no one in the hall and no windows open. We also had baning on the walls of the study room with no one in there.

Um, I live in Tuscaloosa Alabama and I saw this whole “University of Alabama haunt” ****…you can’t just say “During the Civil War, a treaty was signed in this building” because there are many buildings. Anyone know WHICH building? And, a lot of buildings that are on campus now have been built since the civil war. (A few examples of buildings would be the Ferguson, Gorgas, etc.)

Comment by KAYLA R | 10.26.2007 | 7:29 am
I am currently a student at the University. I live in a new dorm, but I have classes in Rowand Johnson and I have gone to the library on several occasions. As far as I know no one is even allowed to enter the little round house, it has windows on all sides so that one can easily see into it, and it is used as a little museum. As for a secret society that only allows twenty people, I think that is ********. Leigh seemed very well informed on the buildings and history, and I have never been to Smith Hall so I don’t know about that, but I have never experienced any peculiar occurences here.
