College dormitory in Troy; research record.

Pace Hall — Troy University is a college dormitory in Troy, Alabama. College dormitory in Troy; research record. The archive files it under haunted places. The dossier holds 1 reported claim and 1 legend — all telling, no verified spine yet, and the file says so plainly. Access details are unverified — research before visiting. The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

Pace Hall, built in 1947 on the Troy University campus, shares its haunting file with a neighbor: Shackelford Hall, the 1930 dormitory next door. Together they carry the standard furniture of campus ghost lore — a suicide legend, unexplained sounds, small objects in motion — handed down the way residence halls always hand it down, from one cohort of eighteen-year-olds to the next.
The anchor story belongs to Shackelford. Tradition names a young woman 'Sally Shack,' said to have hanged herself in the building after her fiancé died in a war. Students tell of two residents who reportedly returned to their room to find pens levitating — and who vacated it the next day.

THE OUIJA SESSION
The Pace Hall account is more specific. In the 1990s, students reportedly ran a Ouija board session attempting to contact whatever was said to inhabit the building. What followed, in the retelling, was a paper clip tapping against their window from outside and objects moving about the room — alarming enough, the story says, that the university had the room cleansed.
The file's evidence for all of it is a campus newspaper feature and the ghost-book circuit — the Tropolitan's 2014 Halloween piece and Alan Brown's The Haunting of Alabama — which is exactly the pedigree campus lore carries. What is documented is the buildings and the tradition itself: dormitory poltergeist stories are among the most durable folklore American colleges produce, and Troy's two old halls keep theirs in circulation.
