Baldwin-Wallace is rumored to be haunted. Most of these hauntings have been reported in Lang Hall and Kohler Hall—both dormitories. Apparitions have also been seen outside Bonds Hall. Is there any truth to these reported paranormal happenings?
Is Baldwin-Wallace University Haunted?
Baldwin-Wallace University in Berea, Ohio has a reputation for being home to several restless spirits who are rumored to inhabit two of the campus dorms and other locations on campus. Sightings of ghosts have been reported in the two dormitory buildings, Kohler Hall and Lang Hall. Paranormal entities have also been sighted in other areas of campus by students and local residents, including outside Bonds Hall.
I live in Berea, just a few minutes away from Baldwin-Wallace. Though I haven’t had any first-hand encounters with ghosts here (yet), there are enough rumors of ghost sightings and paranormal activity that I’m in no hurry to visit the campus alone, especially at night. Berea is an old town with a rich history and numerous buildings that are over a century old. It is not surprising that there are so many rumors of hauntings in this town.

I used to go to one of the 1860s original German Methodist Orphan Asylum buildings south of Strosacker Hall, when the Conservatory of Music bought it to use for classrooms. There had been a fire on the top floor in the early 1900s and one or two children died. You could still see the charred beams up there and smell old smoke. It was rumored that the ghost of one of the children roamed around after class hours. I never saw him but I could sure feel his presence in that creepy place.
