Why is the C. J. Rodman Center for the Arts Haunted?

*A child died in an accident while climbing inside a church steeple.  Years later, the church moved to another building, and Ripon College used the church for a performing arts building.  When this present building was constructed, the spirit moved into it.  The spirit is called Raphael.-SL

Alleged Paranormal Activity

*This spirit likes to play tricks on people.  While a performance is being set up, the spirit will make copies of recordings for the students.-SL 
One time, some students were in a hallway and they heard very distinguishable footsteps walk past them, yet no one was visible.-SL 
Another time, students were working in the recording booth at the concert hall when one of the lights over the stage started flickering.  The students went into the area and yelled "Stop it!"  The flickering stopped.-SL
