Western Illinois University has been known to have paranormal activity in some of the buildings on campus.
In Tanner Hall, there was once a male student goofing off on one of the floors and he did not realize the elevator shaft was open.
He ran into the void, thinking he was going to use the elevator and fell to his untimely death. It is said that he still roams the halls and opens the elevators when someone says “Hold the elevator.”
Because of this and other mysterious happenings, Western has asked a group called the Paranormal Investigation Team of Illinois (PITI) to come check out the supposedly haunted campus and to tour Simpkins Hall on Nov. 23.
