Carbondale Bytelife

Since it's October and Halloween is coming up, I thought I'd point out some of the haunted spots in town over the next couple of weeks, besides the Huntley House, that is. Wheeler Hall, on the SIUC campus tuned 100 in 2004 and has been the site of some poltergeist activity over the years, most notably during the 1990s. I was told of one incident by a student who's mother worked in one of the Wheeler Hall offices prior to the 1992 renovation. The woman was in the basement one evening filing some paperwork (by herself of course) when a chair suddenly slid across the floor towards her. Needles to say, she exited the basement posthaste and refulsed to ever go back downstairs again unless accompanied.
