Haunted Carbondale--Anthony Hall

A story dating back to the 1960s focuses on the first floor of Anthony Hall on the SIUC campus, which until recently housed most of the administrative offices of the University.

According to the story, a secretary/office worker at the time died of a heart attack while at work in Anthony Hall. Incidentally, admittedly minimal research has not found any evidence of this, but since then, on rare occasions, her figure has been seen, by janitorial staff late in the afternoon or evening, still seated at a desk catching up on long ago paperwork.

I was told by a man who worked in maintenance on campus some years ago that he knew of at least one other worker that had seen her and that several workers had reported a "watched" feeling while in Anthony.
