Well, I've heard that in UWM Sandburg Dorm, there were strange noises at night. Some students claimed to hear footsteps in the empty hallways when everyone was supposed to be in their rooms. It was really spooky.
There was a rumor in one of the UWM dorms that there was a ghost of a former student who had passed away in the building. People reported seeing a shadowy figure in the hallways late at night. Some students even said they felt a cold breeze pass by them when they were alone in the dormitory corridors. It made them very scared to walk around at night.
One of the scariest stories is about a girl who felt like she was being watched while studying in her dorm room. She would constantly have this uneasy feeling, and sometimes she thought she saw a face at the window, but when she looked closer, there was nothing. It was so terrifying that she could hardly concentrate on her studies.
The unknown is the scariest element. For example, in the story of the whispers in the dorm, not knowing who or what was making those sounds creates a lot of fear. It could be anything from a ghost to someone playing a cruel prank.
One scary dorm story I heard was about a girl who would always hear whispers at night. She thought it was her roommate at first, but her roommate was a heavy sleeper. Every night, the whispers got louder and more disturbing. One night, she woke up to see a shadowy figure by her bed. She screamed and turned on the light, but it vanished. After that, she moved out of the dorm.
Yes, I once had a really strange experience. I was alone in my dorm studying late at night. Suddenly, all the lights flickered and my books flew off the desk. There was no explanation for it. I was so terrified that I ran out of the dorm and didn't go back until the next day.
A group of students in a UWM dorm shared an experience where the lights in the hallway would flicker on and off at odd times, especially when they were coming back late at night. One time, as they were walking towards their rooms, the lights went out completely for a few seconds and then came back on. When the lights were off, they heard a strange shuffling sound, like something was dragging itself along the floor. This scared them so much that they started running towards their rooms.
One inspiring story could be a uwm student who was the first in their family to go to college. They had to deal with a lack of family guidance regarding college life. However, they actively sought help from academic advisors at uwm, joined study groups, and managed to graduate with honors. This shows that with determination, one can succeed even without traditional support systems.
