Hartwell Hall at the State University of New York Brockport is rumored to be haunted. The ghost may be Edward P. Rowley, who was a resident in 1888. According to an old newspaper report, he fell through some planks covering a cistern and became trapped, drowning in the seven feet of water inside. Now, the apparition of a man in dark attire has been spotted in Hartwell’s hallways at night, along with moving shadows, levitating objects and disembodied voices. One college staff member fell off of a ladder here and felt as if something caught her and set her down gently.
