Macdonough Hall is one of the oldest residence halls at SUNY Plattsburgh and is widely considered the most haunted building on campus. Many students and faculty have reported seeing apparitions and hearing strange noises. A popular legend claims the basement was once a morgue for the old Plattsburgh Hospital, though the building has served solely as a dormitory since it opened in 1951.
Haunted Lineage note: Previously listed as “State University of New York.” Updated to SState University of New York – Plattsburgh – Macdonough Hall. The morgue claim could not be substantiated at this time; MacDonough Hall has served as a dormitory since it opened in 1951.
