Hesser College

New Hampshire · United States · School

A boy bounces a ball on the third and fourth floors. People hear it, go to look, and both the boy and the sound stop.

Several are reported in the corridors of this college building in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The one everybody knows is a young boy who bounces a ball on the third and fourth floors. A great many people have heard it. When they go to look, he is gone and the bouncing stops with him.

Students report others elsewhere in the building.

The bouncing ball is one of the most repeated forms in the whole of this archive, turning up in schools, hospitals and hotels across the country, and the reason may be simple: a regular knocking sound in an old building has an obvious mechanical explanation and a much more memorable one, and only one of them gets passed on.

Manchester was a mill city, and its large brick buildings have all been something else before they were what they are now.

The college buildings are in use.
