Why is
the University of Wisconsin-Madison-Science Hall Haunted?
*The fourth floor of this building
is supposedly haunted where it is mainly used for
storage.-SL
*"Originally
home to most of the science departments on campus,
Science Hall housed anatomy until the 1950s. Because
elevators didn't exist at the time, cadavers to be
dissected were brought up to the fifth floor using a
pulley and winch system. This, and a number of deaths
that occurred during the building's construction, have
given Science Hall the distinction of being UW's
unofficial haunted house. Rumors about "dumpster chutes"
for cadaver disposal are completely false – they were
fire escapes that were dismantled during a remodeling in
the 80s."-University of Wisconsin-Madison
