Ouachita Baptist University's primary haunting legend concerns the "Lady in Black," the ghost of a student named Jane who died at the neighboring Henderson State University and is said to haunt the halls of OBU's Cone-Bottoms dormitory. The legend claims she walks the halls at night, opens doors, hides in closets, and causes strange occurrences like footsteps and flickering lights, with her story reportedly linked to a campus betrayal. The Legend of the Lady in Black: The ghost is said to be Jane, a student at Henderson State University who died by throwing herself down an elevator shaft. She is described as wearing a black dress and veil. She walks the halls of Cone-Bottoms at night, she opens doors and stands over students. She runs out of a room when students wake, she hides in closets to scare students later, and her moans are sometimes heard in the halls. Footsteps are heard throughout the halls at night and lights flicker. The legend states that she searches the campus every year on the night of Henderson's homecoming to find the person who stole her true love.
