The Ghost Story
Father Louis Lesches murdered Bishop Patrick Heffron inside Heffron Hall in 1915, shooting the bishop in his own room. The spirit of the murdered bishop is said to roam the halls of the building that bears his name. Students have reported cold spots, unexplained footsteps, and a dark figure in clerical garb standing at the end of hallways before vanishing.
