Many spooky tales are told about Hobart and William Smith Colleges, a couple of them originating in Hirshson Hall. In Room 304, for example, objects are said to fly off shelves, the blinds pull down by themselves, mysterious sounds of scratching and tapping are heard and apparitions have been seen in mirrors. At Smith Hall, folks say a ghost takes his stroll along the roof at around 3 a.m. And in the quad area, some say a ghost walks his dog between 1 and 3 a.m.
