The Marion Military Institute (MMI) is known for alleged hauntings rooted in its past, particularly the use of the Chapel and Lovelace Hall (South Barracks) as a Civil War hospital where wounded soldiers died. Reports at the Alabama institution include unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and the sensation of a presence in empty rooms, leading to its reputation as a haunted place. Cadets and staff have reported hearing mysterious noises in hallways and seeing objects disappear or move inexplicably. Many individuals claim to feel like someone else is present when they are alone in a room. The building's history as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War is seen as a source of these unexplained occurrences, with buried soldiers' graves behind the chapel. Beyond the hospital site, other accounts of paranormal activity include hearing names called, alleged possessions, and the sound of a cavalry moving.
