An institution with over two centuries of continued use is bound to have a colorful history, and Salem is no exception. The Gramley Building is the site of a library where two girls were killed in an electrocution accident in 1907. According to reports, the girls visibly manifest and scream at students. Similarly, a student allegedly hanged herself in the attic of Gramley's dormitory, leading to students hearing dragging and scratching sounds from the attic.
A young girl fell down an elevator shaft in Clewell's dormitory,making many believe her presence is still in the building. The school's other dormitory, Babcock, is said to have a painting in its lobby of Mary Reynolds (daughter of R.J. Reynolds), whose eyes that follow students as they walk by. Last, but certainly not least, the Fine Arts Center has had a variety of paranormal disturbances, including a phantom pianist who plays pianos and organs, and a patron who died in Theatre #2 and still lingers to this day.

In the summer of 1998, I was a student at Governor's School on the campus of Salem College and stayed in Clewell Dorm...what we know to be the room of the young lady who died in that building. While standing in the room with my roommate and few other females chatting, I was leaning on my dresser and all of a sudden the empty water bottle beside the TV LEVITATED about 1" off of the dresser like someone picked it up! When it dropped back down and began bouncing, my room cleared out! That's only one experience of the two I experienced, but it was quite something! Our counselor shared a story with us when she was preparing the dorms for our arrival...I don't know how she stayed!
