Gilmora hall was built in 1933, containing 3 residential floors, and the bottom floor being a recreation hall. It was constructed to house the young ladies attending Mount St. Bernards College, the sister academy to StFX. most of the students were learning to be teachers or nuns, and all the instructors were nuns.
There are TONS of creepy stories associated with it, mostly of nuns dying, old men falling down stairs, and a few suicides of young pregnant nuns.
In broad daylight we walked dow the halls, and the supposed haunted stairwell. It is so quiet, its creepy. Alot of doors are bolted shut, doors screwed into their frames, old elevator shaft boarded up. The lounge is eerie, so large and empty with a stone fireplace like in Harry Potter. Not to mention there are random full length mirrrs on the walls to freak out people walking to the bathroom at 3am. (or maybe for the ghosts to admire themselves in... ?)
To say the least we boogied outta there in a hurry. When I came back, I looked up to see if anything was on the net. and of course there is!
At Mount St. Bernard College, several odd occurrences take place. Located in Antigonish, this college has been known to have some pretty strange things happen within some of the rooms. For example, items in a room have moved on their own. On campus, there is a spiral staircase where some believe the ghost of a man will watch you as you travel up and down the stairs. An elevator has been known to move without anyone pressing the buttons. Some fear that ghosts wander up and down the hallways when no one is looking. Odd voices have been heard within the bathrooms, as well as shadows roaming throughout the area.
Screaming coming from unknown entities, as well as sighting of the apparitions of nuns have been reported to occur in the Games Room. At Gilmora Hall, the ghost of a woman who fell from the balcony is said to haunt the premises.
