Mount Marty College — Whitby Hall, Room 200

South Dakota · United States · School

The room stood empty for years. Light never reaches the door, whatever is switched on, and barely reaches it in daylight.

Room 200 in Whitby Hall at Mount Marty in Yankton, South Dakota was left vacant for years because of what students said about it, and only came back into use recently.

The detail that made it unusable is oddly specific and has nothing to do with a figure. Light never touches the door. It does not matter which lights are on in the corridor or the room, and in daylight the light from the window barely reaches it either.

That is the kind of claim that ought to have a straightforward explanation involving the geometry of the room, and nobody at the college appears to have found one.

There have been other reports on that floor, including a figure walking across it.

The hall is student accommodation at a working college and is not open to visitors.
