Park University's main haunted story features the ghost of Pauline Holly, a dedicated supporter known as the "first lady" of the campus, whose spirit is said to be seen as a woman in white in Eerie McKay Hall and the old bell tower. Students and faculty describe her not as a disruptive presence but as a "poignant spirit" who lingers out of devotion to the school she loved. There are also accounts of an unsettling stillness at the site of the former Charles Smith Scott Observatory, now marked by a mysterious memorial. The Ghost of Pauline Holly: Pauline Holly was the wife of Frederick William Holly and a deeply devoted supporter of Park College (now Park University), publishing her own newspaper and collecting campus stories. Students and faculty believe her spirit appears in Eerie McKay Hall and the old bell tower. Witnesses describe seeing a woman in white walking the hallways and floating inside the bell tower. Her ghost is considered a poignant spirit, not threatening, but a representation of her enduring love and connection to the school.
