Lebanon Valley College's Mary Capp Green residence hall is the site of a haunting legend involving a little girl who is heard giggling and playing with a ball. While stories vary, one account suggests she was struck and killed by a car or train near the dorm after the ball rolled into the street. Another interpretation posits the presence is an "imprint" of happy children playing on the site, rather than a tragic accident. The Ghost of Mary Green Hall: She is described as being heard giggling, running, and bouncing a ball in the hallways. One popular version of the story involves the opening day of the dorm, when a younger sister's ball rolled into the street near the railroad tracks. She went to retrieve it and was hit and killed by a car or train. Her ghost is said to linger, playing in the dorm. Some suggest that the "haunting" might be a collective "imprint" of the many children who have played on the grounds over the years, rather than a single tragic event.
