Haunted Schools

Montclair State University

-Montclair, New Jersey

In 2010 Montclair State University's Clove Road Apartments – built in the 1970s – were given a comprehensive revamp and rechristened Hawk Crossings. However, according to students who have lived there, the residences potentially contain something more macabre than just new windows, kitchens and bathrooms. In a 2014 interview with website Wired Jersey, television and digital media student and Hawk Crossings resident Chelsea Hermann described perceiving some presence in her closet, saying,"I heard something in there, like, kind of like pounding, like something making noise. And I walked by the door, and the door just started shaking back and forth." Photography major Correy Dewindt also told the website that he once saw "a shadow" walking across his room, before the apparition paused at his roommate's bed and then seemingly vanished. Other Hawk Crossings residents have reported phenomena such as flickering lights and even the inexplicable sound of a girl laughing in the hallway.
