I DO, BEEN ALL OVER THE STATE……..I LOVE THIS KINDA SHEEEETTT…….LMAO…..THESE PLACES ARE FOR REAL. I FIRST SEEN THE GUY IN THE COURTHOUSE AT THE AGE OF 7. FOR THOSE WHO THINK IT’S BULL….TRY IT..MAYBE ON HALLOWEEN! BETTER THAN WASTING 30 BUCKS TO GO TO THE SLOSS FURNICE……..I GURANTEE.

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 bullshit. 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.

thats pretty crazy! i like that story about the railroad thing with a car and that gang of kids. thats pretty kool.

i no that theses places was not hunted !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got back from a summer camp at UA this week. I stayed in the dorms at Julia Tutwiler, my roommate and myself experienced several odd occurences. Our microwave would beep and ding, even after we unplugged it. My closet door, would come open by itself; even after I made sure it was secure before I would lay down for bed. Also at night my roommate and I heard soft foot steps outside of our door, with my roommate hearing whispers of her name being called all through the night. When we would get up to open the door to see if anyone was there (the hallways would be completely silent and empty). The final straw that had me a believer was at night the lights were very dim, and I looked back towards the full length mirror that is attached to both doors, and I clearly saw a black figure run past. **** If anyone else has experienced the same or something like this, from staying at this dorm please let me know; by posting any comments or knowledge you may have about what may have occured at Tutwiler…….Thanks

my cheer squad stayed at tutweiler hall about two years ago. me and two other friends belive it is haunted also. first one of the dorms lost total power. then our microwave blew up and wouldnt work. the electric outlet electrcuted one of my friends. we also heard the footsteps… and sounds of stuff that sounded like stuff was coming through the building

at least somebody believes! thx danielle!i think u should take these matters seriously and not make stupid jokes i believe in hauntings and since i stayed at the tuckwiler dorms when i went 2 cheer camp last year i believe the dorms really r haunted!!!
there is an after life and sometimes spirits stay when they’re not supposed 2 so who says they’re not in the dorm???!!!!my microwave would turn off and on by itself when we un-plugged it my room mate and i heard footsteps out side our door and my room mate heard her name in whispers we were both really freaked out!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to add some additional information related to Leigh’s post. I was born in Tuscaloosa and my father taught speech and theatre in the 60’s at the university. Our family knew both Marian Gallaway and Allen Bales; I remember them both well. I was not aware of the hauntings in the theaters and found that information fascinating! However, I would like to correct the rumor about Marian and Tennessee Williams – Marian knew Tennessee, but she never had a relationship with him. The relationship that Tennessee had was with Marian’s husband, and he left Marian to be with Tennessee. My parents told me about this when I was older and more mature to understand the implication of what they were telling me. My parents also told me that Dad on numerous occasions heard that the character of Blanche DuBois in “A Streetcar Named Desire” was a veiled portrayal of Marian. My dad did see someone work up the nerve to ask Marion about this; she just gave a half-smile and said, “Ask Tennessee.” Years later, my parents saw a production of “Streetcar” at the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and were astounded to see the actress playing Blanche become Marian Gallaway! After the play ended, they went backstage and spoke with the actress to ask her how she prepared for the role. She indicated that not much preparation was needed – Tennessee had provided everything in the script to develop her character. Their conclusion was that the rumors were indeed fact.

The idea that Marian’s spirit would still be felt and seen in the theater doesn’t surpriae me at all. That would be in keeping with her character, as I remember her.

could this possibly be the presidents mansion the website is speaking of? the civil war was not the only possible explanation of these hauntings, the university is also very close to known indian burial grounds, as well as the home of several slave cemetaries.-just a thought. i have spent alot of time on the ua campus, and while i have no specific stories i can say that i have experienced the “willies” on more than one occasion.
tks, a

Barb, do you know where Marian Gallaway is buried? I know she is originally from Savannah. I was an acting student at UofA – graduated in 1963. Marian was quite a character, and had a brilliant mind. She also tended to intimidate raw students, but at her core she was passionate about the theatre, which rubbed off on all of us. The last time I had contact with her was when I began my acting career at Hartford Stage Co. and wrote to her telling her of my first professional job; she wrote back a very nice letter of encouragement and congratulations. I wish I could call her up and talk to her today. I miss her.

I had a friend tell me about this one building down town that she couldnt go in because of some stuff like that,tuscaloosa has a very brutal past that not many know about,but ive been reasearching alot of them and im trying to put together some serious people to come and explore this places with me

I want to find real ghosts in Tuscaloosa. If anybody is interrested, e-mail me @foxxy04@comcast.net

Well, I personally have never seen a or felt a real ghost,nor do I believe in them. I’m sure there is a logically explaination to the Alabama University.

redd says: people have experianced this, lived this and others just go about by what they’ve read and heard and add their own twist to it. but the real story is the indian graveyards are true and if you dont beleive it try my grave…. if you have the b@#*$ !!

rooooolll tide, what building exactly is this supposed to have taken place in? I mean there’s only 200 buildings on our campus

The “building” everyone is talking about is located towards the back of the quad near the library with the big stairs. A lot of people do not know names but they know what the buildings are and where they are. Me and a friend are talking about going tonight to see if we hear anything. As the 13 floors go I do not know which one it is but it no longer has 13 floors. Also the do a tour on Halloween night so if you are interested in knowing the background and wanting to see if you can see anything or hear anything…then go! I have been on the quad numerous of times and never have felt seen or heard anything. I also have lived in Tuscaloosa my whole like. Bryce Hospital is a pretty creepy place…it still has the electric chair in the basement and shackles all over the floor unless people have stolen them. I have never seen anything paranormal so I can’t say I believe but I find it very interesting, As far as the whole Auburn thing goes and Alabama football goes…..WE KICKED SOME *** THIS YEAR!!! ROLL TIDE

I just got home from the movie theater of watching haunting in Connecticut it actually a good scary scary movie 5 stars rated,too.

well i dont think this is true but werid maybe ill go there cause i need to catch up on my fairytales
