Shawnee State University is reported to be a hot place for ghosts, especially the Verne Riffe Center for the Arts, the library and Massie Hall. Ghostly shadows run down the hallways. Children’s soft whispers and voices echo through the rooms. Music plays off in the distance and books fall off shelves and dark shadows have been seen.
