Point Park is a haunted house...

I'm not sure if anybody else who is reading this has experienced a pre-season in August at Point Park University, but it was one of the most petrifying experiences of my life. Of course it didn't help that I had just transferred in and was placed on the 18th floor of Lawrence, with no other floormates at the time, nor did I know prior to coming here that the dorm rooms would resemble a penitentiary. Also, during the first few days upon my arrival, my friend Juliann came to drop some stuff off and talk to me a bit, and as her eyes widened, she casually posed this question, "Did you know that Lawrence is haunted?" Thanks Julsy. Not only am I terrified of staying alone, but I already had been sleeping with my light on for the past two days, (I know, I know, I'm a wimp) and now I have to deal with the shuffler, while you can go back and sleep in the comfort of your own home with safe parents and snuggly puppies. (miss your tackling mish--Juliann's dog...no Michele, I didn't spell your name wrong) Okay so anyway, as I remained scared throughout the entire night, not only did I sleep with the light on, but because of this I saw that the ceiling boards began to move.



(Yes, the ghost was kind enough to let me capture a video of this, however, verizon was not kind enough to let me save it to my computer--hence, no video, just a picture)

Anyway, anyone who has ever been scared to stay home alone at night knows exactly how this goes. (I am alone at Point Park for part of this week, that is why this is relevant...) First you begin to just freak yourself out because you're alone in the dark, then you begin to hear "noises", then coincidently, the shuffler is moving around in your ceiling boards, the fridge times on and begins to growl EXTRA loudly...and then you call/text someone for a security blanket. As if texting or calling a friend is actually going to help you in this situation at all. But for some reason it makes you feel better for about five minutes while you are communicating with them, and as soon as your phone stops beeping, the noises start up again. Now there is a hugeee shadow on the wall that resembles a man with some sort of weapon like an axe or something awful, floor boards creak, everything you can possibly imagine to scare you is happening and it's not until you turn on every light and TV in your room that your eyes begin to rest. Maybe that's just me? Don't even get me started on the other ghosts here...
