Ash Hall

Massachusetts · United States · School

He wears a charred fireman's coat and carries an axe. The alarm goes off in the night and students see him from the windows of the other halls.

The figure reported at this hall at North Andover, Massachusetts is a fireman, in a blackened and charred coat, and he is often described carrying an axe.

A fire alarm sounds during the night on many occasions, turning the students out into the dark. From there, standing outside, they see him at the windows of the various halls.

The sequence is what makes this one memorable. The alarm empties the building, and only once everybody is outside looking back at it does anybody see him.

A fireman is also an unusual thing to be haunted by. He is not a victim in the way almost every other figure in this archive is. He is somebody whose job was the building.

The name of the hall is presumably why the story attached itself here rather than anywhere else.

The hall is student housing.
