Warriner Hall

Michigan · United States · School

She leaned into a disused dumbwaiter shaft to call up to a friend on the floor above.

The story told at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant concerns a young actress who spent a great deal of time in Warriner Hall.

During a rehearsal or a performance she was on the floor below a friend, and rather than walk up she used the dumbwaiter shaft, which had been out of use for some time, to call up to her.

She leaned her head into the shaft.

Every student at the university knows what comes next, and the university does not discourage the telling.

No record has been found of any such death, and the story belongs to a family of campus legends that appear at institutions across the country, always in the oldest building, always involving a student in the performing arts. That does not make it less real to the people who live with it.

Warriner Hall is the administrative heart of the campus and is in daily use.
