Haunting Pianist |

At Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, there's a ghost that haunts the hallowed halls. In order to see the ghost, you have to head to the music department and the music building. Historically, this legend seems to be accurate. In the 1930s, a young woman with a promising career attended Harding and majored in music. She fell in love with another Harding student who was tragically killed in a car accident a short time after they met. She was very depressed and, according to students at the time, she spent every waking hour of the day on the third floor of the music building, playing the piano. Later, during the same semester he was killed, she also died. Nobody knows why, but legend says she died of a broken heart. Soon after her death, students reported hearing piano music from the third floor of the music building, but whenever they would go to investigate, they would find no one there. Most believed it was the young girl serenading her lover from beyond the grave. The old building has been torn down and replaced with a modern building which is only two stories tall. However, students still report that they hear piano music coming from the building on some late, dark nights. This is one of the persistent legends that should be checked out, as many at the university swear it is true. Please remember, however, Harding is a very serious Christian university and probably frowns on people with EMF detectors hiking through their music hall. |
