College dormitory in Troy; research record.

A college dormitory in Troy, Alabama, Shackelford Hall — Troy University is filed here for what the record attaches to it. College dormitory in Troy; research record. The name the accounts keep returning to is Sally Shack. The dossier holds 1 reported claim and 1 legend, every one filed as account rather than fact. Visitor status is unverified; confirm before making the trip.

Two dormitories on the Troy University campus share a file of reported activity: Pace Hall, built in 1947, and Shackelford Hall, built in 1930. The guide records poltergeist-type incidents in both.
Shackelford's resident story has a name: 'Sally Shack.' Campus tradition identifies her as a student who, devastated by her fiancé's death in a war, hanged herself in the building. The file flags that biography as unverified — the name survives, the person beneath it is not confirmed.

THE REPORTED INCIDENTS
The anchor incident is modest and specific: two female residents reportedly entered their room to find two pens levitating, and vacated the room the following day.
A second cluster of reports dates to the 1990s in Pace Hall, where students' Ouija session was reportedly followed by a paper clip tapping their window from outside and objects moving in the room — unsettling enough that the university is said to have had the room cleansed. All of it is filed as legend: dormitory folklore with names attached, none of it verified.
