Ghosts of Peabody

Students report sightings of Helen Peabody in Peabody Hall. The spirit hates men- men have felt a presence of someone pshing them when looking out open windows and girls have reported motherly presences when they are sick. A girl commited suicide in room 210, and another student commited the same act in the same room several years later. -(Dave Juliano, The Shadowlands: Ghosts & Hauntings Monthly Newslater)
