Have you ever gotten a feeling that someone was watching you, and when you looked around no one was there? What about experiencing a sudden cold chill, or any unexplained noises? These are just some of the signs of paranormal activity. Many people don’t know it, but there is said to be spirits right here in Pocatello, Idaho. To be more specific, here at ISU! Where exactly could these ghosts possibly be hiding?
One of the most suspected places for residing spirits is Graveley Hall. Graveley Hall, named after Lottie M, Graveley, was built in 1939, it was once a women’s residence hall until they decided to change it into offices and classrooms. It’s known that people have committed suicide in this building. Many people say they feel a presence while in the building. This presence has opened windows and opened doors for people.
Also, there is paranormal activity in the Student Union Building, the SUB is a place for ISU students to hang out and have fun. It is equipped with a bowling alley, arcade, and pool tables. People have claimed to have seen pool balls rolling on the table without any disruption by a physical force. Also, pin ball machines have been witnessed being played without anyone being there to play them. The air hockey table is known for turning on by itself. People have heard faint screams and unexpected loud banging noises while there.
Another building reported to be haunted in Frazier Hall. Frazier Hall houses the performing art and speech classes here at ISU. The reported ghost who resides there apparently likes to open and shut windows, and move objects around. The elevator will move from floor to floor without anyone operating it, and curtains on the stage will move without disturbances nearby. It has also been reported that mysterious sounds such as a piano playing and footsteps down the hall have occurred.
ISU obviously has some secrets that we were not told about beforehand. So next time you feel that someone is watching you, or you feel a sudden cold chill down your spine, you might have unknowingly entered the haunted halls of ISU. Whether or not you believe in the supernatural it’s easy to admit that all of these occurrences seem pretty weird.
