I stoled this off the Hucklebucks board, so Shads and Hanke already saw this...
"Also in St. Charles is LINDENWOOD COLLEGE, which has long been said to be haunted by the ghost of it's founder, Mary Easton Sibley. The college was founded in 1853 and was the first university for women west of the Mississippi River. Mary's ghost is said to be responsible for the good luck that has come to the school because before her death, she reportedly promised the students that she would always watch over them. Her body also remains behind as well. She is buried with her family in a small cemetery on the campus.
The most famous haunted spot on campus is SIBLEY HALL. This was the former Sibley family home and it later became the school's first residence hall. Back in the days when it was being used as a dormitory, many of the residents claimed to hear loud noises in the vacant rooms and could find no cause for the sounds. They also heard footsteps going up and down the stairs... the sounds of a piano being played in the empty hall where Mary Sibley's piano was stored... they would find furniture rearranged and would often report lights turning on and off in parts of the building that were always closed up and locked.
One summer when the school was empty, Sibley Hall was being renovated. There was no one in the building but workmen and all of the doors were kept locked. The men were busy one day on the lower floor when they heard the sound of girl’s voices upstairs, loud sounds like drawers being opened and closed and sounds like trunks being dragged across the floor. At quitting time, several of the men went upstairs to make sure the ladies could get out and to make sure they locked the doors on their way out. They had no idea what they were going to find, assuming that several young ladies were upstairs doing some work of their own. They found no one there. The upper floors were completely vacant.
Years ago, campus legend stated that Mary Sibley always returned to the school every Halloween night. It was said that she would ride across the campus on her horse. Others claimed that she rose from the grave and walked through Sibley Hall. One year, a student decided to dress up in old-fashioned clothes like Mary Sibley and frighten the other girls. As she made her way into the hall where the piano was kept, she realized that she was not in the room alone. She looked up and saw a woman in a period dress and when she turned... the student saw the face of Mary Sibley! The girl screamed and fainted dead away. Her Halloween prank had apparently been interrupted by the real thing!"
Do you think there's way we can take the ol' girl to St. Clair and curse the other schools at the sectionals?

I stayed in Sibley Hall last year with Ashlee. I can't speak for her but the place always gave me that creeps. Going into the parlor where her piano was and her pic felt odd too. I have never seen or heard anything personally, but the girl below us always complained of loud noises to us when we weren't doing anything. And now the house I'm in has sounds coming from the basement....grrr
MoMo isn't real. I know lotsa people from there. Many of them live in rural woodsy hilly places. No monsters. Lots of deer and other assorted wildlife, but no monsters.
