Mt. Holyoke Ghost #2

This is a story told to me by my sister who attended Mt. Holyoke and enjoyed many fun times spooking herself and her friends. The first story involves a darling student who live in the Pearson dorm on the second floor in a large room over the dining room. It seems that one night in the 60's the student, we'll call her "Moon Flower" (MF), was experimenting with LSD. Well, the story goes that she took a little too much. She freaked and there were no brown acid counselors available. The story goes that she went into the closet and started to burrow into the wall with her nails. Hands bloodied, she crawled into the hole. The next day her friends missed her at breakfast and began to worry about her. They knocked at her door, but heard nothing. They knew she had not left her room so they asked the resident assistant to open the door to check on her. When they looked into room, they noticed it was in disarray, but didn't see anything. They entered the room and began looking around and finally found her in the closet. She was curled up in a fetal position in the hole she had created. From the expression on her face she died alone, frightened and tortured by the demons her mind had created. MF came from a good family and her death was most shocking to her family. To avoid scandal, the school refused to acknowledge that the incident had happened. They repaired the damage to the room and mysteriously did not place any more students in that particular room. They turned it into a storage room. The resident assistant is the only one to have the key. The room remains locked at all times yet strangely, the room appears open from time to time. Students, not really knowing the history of the building have reported hearing footsteps, scratching sounds and very low weeping coming from this room while eating in the dining room below. The chandelier also moves a bit when you hear the footsteps, and yet when knowing students have investigated incident and listen for sounds through the door, they hear nothing.
