St Mary's Hall, Villanova

Pennsylvania · USA · Hospital

St Mary's Hall at Villanova University in Pennsylvania was a convent before it became student accommodation.

A rumour circulates that a nun hanged herself in the building. Nothing supports it, and rumours of that kind attach themselves to almost every former convent in America, so it should be treated as folklore rather than history.

What is reported comes from both students and the night cleaning staff, and one account in particular is repeated.

A janitor working nights heard a radio blaring from behind a closed door. He went in. The room was empty, the music stopped as he entered, and when he looked, the radio was unplugged.

Several of his colleagues have reported hearing what they take for voices elsewhere in the building.

Cleaning staff working a residence hall out of term are alone in a building designed for hundreds, which is when almost all of these accounts arise.
