Iowa State University, Ames
Iowa State University has several alleged haunted locations, including a dormitory room in Friley Hall known as "Satan's Legion," the Fisher Theater, and the Farmhouse. Reported paranormal activity includes dark dreams, inexplicable noises, a ghost in a wheelchair, and objects that seem to move on their own. Here are some of the more detailed descriptions of the haunted locations: Friley Hall: A specific room in this dormitory is rumored to be haunted by a student who died there. Legends claim that those who stay in the room experience dark dreams or disappear. Fisher Theater: This theater is said to be haunted by Frederica Shattuck, a key figure in the Iowa State Players. Her ghost is sometimes reported to cause Shattuck's wheelchair to roll across the stage during rehearsals. Farmhouse: The historic Farmhouse is another alleged haunt, where a ghost is said to open the curtains of a second-floor bedroom. Some students report experiencing dark dreams and hearing a loud slamming sound, as if someone ran into a door, according to the Iowa State Daily. The ghost of Abe Lincoln is said to walk through the closed doors of one building, while another legend speaks of a ghost that lives in the Iowa State cemetery.
