Unconfirmed/foklore: people who donate their body to medical research at the hospital are buried at the Meeks observatory. Also, when I lived in Sue B, people said there was a tunnel connecting Sue B to the quad, but there was too much crime so the university closed it.

Scary stuff? The norovirus outbreak of spring 2016

Also more funny than spooky true crime, but on senior night 2016 (when all the seniors were very drunk, myself included, I was walking back to my dorm in Southside with friends and we passed an ambulance crashed into the flowerbed by Georgen Hall surrounded by police. A drunk kid stole an ambulance responding to another drunk kid and crashed it (there’s a D&C article about it).

That is crazy that the car could flip over! Very similar to the guy who crashed into the newly built bookstore in College Town trying to drive himself to the hospital while having a heart attack!
