Haunted UCC

brian1991

After going to St Kevin's (abandoned mental asylum said to be haunted in Cork City btw) with some people I met from boards.ie just before Halloween, I was wondering if there are any haunted places in UCC itself.
Perhaps the West Wing? Obviously, just because it is from the mid 19th Century doesn't mean that it has to be haunted. The Kane Building is much less old, and that has to be haunted.
So does anyone have any stories etc? A poltergeist in Brookfield, or the ghost of a schoolboy in the Connolly Building? I don't mean to sound flippant, but as a first year I'm curious, and it's not like there is a paranormal society I can ask.

Thanks,
Brian

Not that I know of but now that you mention it, the windle building is the only buling left from the old prison, if you look from the kane side you can see the old prison church, which is on the northern end of the windle building. Considering this building houses the colleges cadavars the whole thing gives me the creeps, there were certainly a number of executions carried out in the old prison exercise yard which is more or less where the elec eng building now stands.

Another fact I heard recently is that when they were doing up the old house part of the brookfield complex for the new healt science building, the builders fround a small dinghy lifeboat way up in the attic. Apparently the guy who first built it suffered serious paranoia and had the roof built around a boat in case of a big flood.(Ironic really)

West Wing 9 on a Wednesday morning is definitely haunted, some pityful looking ghouls in there
