University Heights Center in Seattle is described as one of the city's most haunted locations, believed to be home to the spirits of children who once attended the building when it was a school. Visitors and staff have reported seeing phantom children in the halls at night, hearing unexplained laughter and playful sounds, and experiencing sudden drops in temperature. A particularly notable legend speaks of a shy girl in a red dress who is sometimes seen running up the stairs. The most common reports involve the apparitions of children, both running and playing in the halls and courtyard. Unexplained sounds, such as the laughter and playing of children, have been heard by people when no one else is present. A well-known story describes a shy spirit of a little girl wearing a red dress, white stockings, and black shoes, whose presence is often accompanied by a sudden cold feeling. Some paranormal investigators have claimed to have captured Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) at the location. Witnesses and investigators have experienced unexplained sensations, such as a chill in the air and hair standing on end, particularly near the stairs where the girl in the red dress is sometimes seen.
