Students moved to the supposedly haunted "Exorcism Room" at Clark Hall due to flooding.
In the midst of a harsh New England winter, Holy Cross College has been navigating a series of unexpected challenges. Over the past weekend, freezing temperatures broke records, and high winds swept across campus, causing a water pipe to burst in Clark Hall. The ensuing flood left several student rooms damaged and belongings soaked.
In response to this crisis, the Office of Residence Life and Housing swiftly prioritized the repairs of the affected dorms. Meanwhile, students initially displaced were temporarily housed in the room above the 4th floor of Fenwick Hall, previously known as the "Exorcism Room."
While the college assured that there is no paranormal activity in the "Exorcism Room," students reported strange noises, spectral whispers, and apparitions. One student claimed to have seen the old Crusader mascot apparition and heard it plead, "Remember me. Remember me! REMEMBER ME!" Another student reported seeing lights flicker and a shadowy shape moving around the room.
However, without specific details from historical records or firsthand accounts, it's challenging to provide a comprehensive history or verify reports of paranormal activity in the "Exorcism Room." To gather more information, one might look to local historical societies or archives, contact Holy Cross College's archives or library, or search for local ghost hunting groups or paranormal investigation teams.
In more positive news, the college is currently constructing new apartment-style dorms. In addition, Holy Cross will pilot its first living-learning community, the Wellbeing Living Learning Community, in Fall 2023. This community will house students who want to focus on living a well-life.
Furthermore, the Office of Residence Life and Housing is working diligently to address student concerns about the "Exorcism Room." Students are advised to report any concerns to a temporary Paranormal Concerns Hotline. Most of the water damage in the affected student rooms is expected to evaporate by finals.
Meanwhile, Loyola Hall experienced a flooding emergency over the past weekend due to the extreme weather conditions. The following day, students reported being visibly shaken and poorly rested. Despite these challenges, the Holy Cross community remains resilient and united in the face of adversity.
Ilia Kolesnikov, a student at the unspecified university, graduating in the year 2026, shared his thoughts on the situation, "It's been a tough week, but I'm grateful for the quick response from the college and the support from my fellow students. I'm looking forward to seeing the new dorms and the Wellbeing Living Learning Community next year."
