Bryn Mawr College - Merion Hall - Real Bryn Mawr Haunt

Merion Hall at Bryn Mawr College is believed to be haunted by Lillian Vickers, who passed away in 1901. According to stories, Lillian was happy and popular before she died, distraught over the fact that she had leprosy. In some versions of the story, she jumped out of a third floor window to her death after accidentally setting herself on fire while trying to treat herself with kerosene. In other stories, they say she committed suicide. Her ghost is known to hang out in the chimney and she opens and closes doors and messes with the computers. Some students have left offerings of candy for her.
