During the day, N.C. State’s campus is full of life. Students are walking to their classes, playing basketball and spending time together. They’re talking, laughing, playing and living their lives.But as the campus is touched by the moonlight, it is transformed into a labyrinth filled with darkness and despair. Lost souls wander the grounds in search of friends that have long graduated, angered spirits look for those who tormented them and life and others simply stand by and watch the University grow.These spirits can still be seen and heard, if only for a moment, across campus. As you walk into the following buildings, you can still hear the whispers of those who can’t bear to part with the University the loved so much in life.Train Tracks / 1911 Building:The 1911 Building was originally a dormitory and was the largest dormitory in the south at the time of it’s construction. The building is said to be haunted by a student who died as a result of a prank gone wrong. The student, who lived in the 1911 building, was bound and gagged while sleeping and tied to the railroad tracks by a secret society that existed on campus.The society knew the train schedule and tied the student to the side of the tracks the train would only pass by, and he would not be injured.  Legend has it that the student was so frightened that he died of a panic-induced heart attack. Faculty, whose offices are in the first floor of the 1911 building, have reported mysterious banging sounds coming from the basement, the northern half of which has been closed off for years. Today, high fencing surrounds the tracks and it is considered trespassing to be on them in order to prevent accidents such as what happened in 1911.Holladay Hall:Just before it was completed in 1889, a fire of unknown origin destroyed part of the woodwork and defaced the walls with smoke. According to rumor, the fire was started by the disturbed spirits of three people who were buried near the east side of the building.  The idea that Holladay Hall was erected on or near the site of an old family burial ground seems to be verified by the following statement in the minutes of the trustees for November 9, 1887:  “The chairman was requested to see the parties interested in the dead buried on the college grounds with a view of having the bodies removed; otherwise to have them disinterred and buried elsewhere,” — History of N.C. State College, Lockmiller. Today, there are many important offices in Holladay Hall, including that of Chancellor Oblinger. Alumni Building / Infirmary:Built in 1897, the Alumni building originally served as the campus infirmary. The history of the building has lead many to speculate that it is haunted. In 1918, 13 students died in the infirmary of the worldwide Spanish influenza epidemic including then-Chancellor Riddick’s daughter, who was serving as a nurse.  It is rumored that her ghost still wanders the building.  Employees who work in the building have heard footsteps and the random opening and closings of doors.Honors Village Quad:The Army ROTC originally held its morning workouts here. Legend says some soldiers’ spirits haunt the grounds where they spent their years as young men. Students have reported seeing a “sea” of Army men doing jumping jacks and toe-touches in the early morning.source: Kathleen Curp, Assistant Director of New Student Orientation
