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

it is true the man was my great great great great great grandfather and he does haunt alabama university waiting for the people who killed him waiting 2 get his revenge

Did You Know That Almost To Me Before.But I Was Lucey.

I died when i heard it !!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Sam- I’m for real on pertinent information. What’s your question?

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.

Which building on the campus are they talking about? Could it be around the mound on the Quad?

this is so stupid.
i stayed at the University for a dance camp and i didnt hear anything except for my coach yelling at some of my teammates. yall are idiots.

This sounds cool to me cause i like hearing about anykind of haunted places even if its made up its still cool.

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.)

What building are they talking about? I am born raised in t=town Roll Tide. I am only familuar with the round house art studio. So Please tell me whch building this is
