Rumor Doctor: Is West Point’s Room 4714 haunted?
Our buddy, jeff Schogol, Stars & Stripes’ Rumor Doctor, investigates from afar “Is West Point’s Room 4714 haunted?”
“As he turned to leave, he noticed someone sitting on the toilet seat: this figure was about 5’6” tall and ‘dressed in a worn full dress gray coat,’” the newspaper reported in 1972. “It sat as one would sit on a bench, holding in its right hand an old musket with a Civil War vintage bayonet on it. O’Connor ‘was caught up with the eyes. They were white.’ They glowed and they had no discernable color.”
I guess everyone does poop. Even 19th century ghosts. But you need to go read the whole pre-Halloween story.

You want to see haunted as hell? Visit the Alhambra residence hall on the Endicott College campus in Beverly, MA. I spent one night there in my younger days and will never step foot in that hell hole again.
Norwich is haunted. Ask any grad.
