Haunted History | Elmira College | WSKG

Elmira College | Elmira, NY
Elmira College was originally founded as a women’s college in 1855. It initially enrolled nearly 1200 students, and was one of the first institutions in the world to grant baccalaureate degrees to women equal to those of men.
The school has been coeducational since 1969, but the student body has remained relatively the same size it was in 1855. The college also had a deep connection with the noted American humorist and author Samuel Clemens, and today houses the Center for Mark Twain Studies.
Throughout its history, a number of unexplained events have been reported on campus. Students at Elmira College have a long history of passing down these stories of the paranormal encounters. One of these stories involves a former student who still haunts the halls of her former dorm.

Mary died by jumping off the top floor of one of the other buildings. She was pregnant and her parents were catholic and wouldn’t approve so instead of telling them she committed suicide. I worked at Elmira college for a few years and that’s the story!
