It is said that spirits of the dead haunt the old Domiciliary’s Building.

In the duck pond, below the Domiciliary’s Building, a man drown. Of course, this may be a variation of the original tale because to the left of the Quillen Medical School is a depression in the field were there was once a shallow pond. One of the hospital administrator’s sons was fishing there and drown. After this, he ordered the pond drained, but to this day some say they are still able to hear the boys cries for help. 1, 2, 3
