There are tales of a ghostly student at Saint Mary's College. Supposedly, a young woman who died tragically on campus still roams the halls where she used to study. Some students claim to have heard her sobbing in the library late at night, as if she is still lamenting her untimely death. It might be that her unfinished business keeps her spirit bound to the college.
I don't think they are real. These stories are probably a combination of superstition, overactive imaginations, and the natural human tendency to create spooky tales. The college has a long history, and over time, these stories have emerged and become part of its cultural fabric, but that doesn't mean there are actual ghosts.
