Description

Two ghosts were seen by a student in Wash Frank Hall. Wash Frank Hall had recently been renovated and was kept locked after classes. The history department was housed in that building. A guy named Buzzy found the door unlocked, went in, and played the piano (he had just lost a football player friend that evening who died in the library). He looked up, sensing a presence in the room, and there was a man dressed in turn-of-the-century clothes sitting across the room. The man gestured for him to continue playing, but Buzzy got freaked out and ran out of the place.

📝 Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: Washington-Franklin Hall, constructed in 1872, was the first brick building erected on the Ashland campus following Randolph-Macon College’s relocation from Boydton. Named after the campus’s two historic literary societies—the Washington and Franklin Societies—it originally housed student debate halls and libraries before being repurposed for academic departments. Legacy databases erroneously misfiled this location under Ashland, Kentucky; this record has been corrected to Ashland, Hanover County, Virginia.
