The Ghost Story
Science Hall is considered one of the most haunted buildings on the UW-Madison campus. Students and faculty report hearing footsteps in empty hallways, doors slamming shut with no draft, and cold spots in specific rooms. Some believe the activity is connected to the building's long history of scientific experiments and the remains of early settlers once buried on Bascom Hill.
