I never experienced anything. I did have 3 weird dreams. But that doesnt mean anything.
1) very real dream about someone coming into my dorm room. The grabbed one of my ankes and tried to pull me off the bed. I woke up at the bottom of the bed.
2) I dream I was in the audetorium and some person was hanging from a rope from the ceiling
3) Dreamt I was in the library basement and the people there wanted to sacrifice me . Someone spoke up for me, so they killed a dove instead.
Like I said-sometimes dreams are just dreams. It never occured to me about it being haunted.

I am a student at Rensselaer's Schools and I am doing a research project and potentially going there soon. If anyone has anything about the hauntings that have happened here please email me because I would like to know what you know. I will be posting everything I know so far about this place very soon so everyone can know about what really has happened here as well.

I attended SJC for my freshmen year in 2017, before it was closed down in 2018. Definitely spooky at night, surrounded by woods and there was always an uneasy feeling in some places. But overall it was a great school. The only thing that I saw happened in the chapel, we were there late at night just wandering around campus. It was very dark in the chapel, but we saw a black mist appear near the alter, and it rose to the cross on the wall and completely covered it. Very creepy

The haunting happened in 1969--1970 when seminarians were messing with weggie board. I heard from them the weird stuff with the voices and flying ash tray.
