Does Austin Peay Have a GHOST Named Margaret?

As we get closer to the Halloween season it’s always fun to hear ghost stories in your own backyard.

Take for instance Clarksville’s own Austin Peay State University. Is this the MOST HAUNTED place in the city? (More on the Bell Witch to come!)

According to the national site “Haunted Places“:

“Austin Peay State University’s Trahern Theater is said to be haunted by Margaret, a ghost who haunts the third floor and the stage. Margaret is said to tinker with elevators and electricity, lock doors, bang on lockers, and call the names of students.”

Then you have the story of the famed paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren (The Conjuring) who visited APSU’s campus about 10 or 12 years ago. According to the report from Channel 2 News in Nashville, APSU Adjunct Professor Melissa Arrington says “When they brought her into the basement of the library near Printing Services, she said she could see Confederate Soldiers, lying on cots. She could hear them screaming in pain, and she could not stay in the building.” Arrington went on to say that many ghost stories come from the area near the Printing Services office.

Bello again: Pierre Coffin, voice of the Minions, finally understands his yellow henchman
