The Hartford Conservatory is associated with several reports of paranormal activity, including the finance director hearing a door slammed and seeing a light turn on by itself, students in Goodwin House hearing classical piano music from a closed room, witnessing a woman in a Victorian dress on the stairs, and lights turning on and off in a dance studio. While some initial experiences included possible paranormal phenomena, the team on the reality show Ghost Hunters found rational explanations for most, such as old wiring causing lights and dust motes appearing as orbs. The Finance Director: Heard a door slamming shut and saw a light turn back on after she had turned it off for the night. Goodwin House: Students have reported hearing classical music from a piano in a closed room, lights turning on and off in a dance studio, and seeing a woman in a Victorian dress walking up the stairs.
