Mom said she thought it was a couple having a typical fight cause it looked like that they knew each other so she didn't think anything of it. Then my mom said that she broke away and went running back to the school. The black man followed her. The light changed and we went on our way. A couple days later after her body was found and the news came out about the murder my mother was sick with horrible regret that she may have been able to save that girls life. Mom then contacted the police and reported the incident. She didn't have to testify but to this day she regrets not at least trying to stop the fight and helping the girl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05975476905180981393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244884403847074984.post-63081671449237553692015-09-25T07:46:55.265-07:002015-09-25T07:46:55.265-07:00Surprised to see this on here!

The fourth floor of Main Hall is very creepy. When I attended, no one lived up there (we didn't have enough students to fill the rooms) except for a tiny annex on the west end of the floor. However, there was a nice lounge that students would use. An acquaintance of mine was watching TV by herself up there one night, and when she turned off the TV she saw an image of a little blue girl in the screen. I'd heard of her before, but I'm not sure what her alleged origins are. Also, another acquaintance of mine who worked in the library was shelving books late at night and saw a woman in period clothing walking among the stacks. Oh, and another very common story that wasn't mentioned above is the story of Mary's Garden. Between Moore Hall and the library there's gardens on either side, and the story went that if you cut through them rather than walking on the path a woman name Mary would haunt you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244884403847074984.post-17611298966051271032012-07-13T23:42:09.711-07:002012-07-13T23:42:09.711-07:00i went to RMWC during the fall semester of 1991.

I thought it was the rn. i bolted up in bed, and then she was in (not next to the foot of my bed)Preppy Pettithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12038329144701845071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244884403847074984.post-41001001029704684872010-12-11T16:20:46.641-08:002010-12-11T16:20:46.641-08:00Thanks for the comment.

Hopefully that's something one of the paranormal groups in the area can document and research further in the future. <br /><br />Also thanks for the note about the picture. For some reason, it's really hard to find a good picture of this college.XoLizardoX08https://www.blogger.com/profile/14185910072521956211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244884403847074984.post-44375459624791120742010-12-01T19:09:39.062-08:002010-12-01T19:09:39.062-08:00I attended Randolph-Macon Woman's College from...I attended Randolph-Macon Woman's College from 1989-1993 and if there is any interest in stories from RMWC, there are far more than the ones listed here- including seances held in the top of one of the dorms which contacted former classmates and beaus driving over 501 from Lexington....on multiple occasions. Two dorms are reknown to be haunted, but all dorms have stories attached to them. And for the record, the accompanying photograph for this article is not one of RMWC-Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136926876679098154noreply@blogger.com
