The Ghost of Lake Forest

At my school, Lake Forest College, the theatre is supposed to be haunted by the ghost of a little boy that died there a number of years ago. It is certainly a creepy building. Mainly at night, lights have turned on and off, doors have opened/shut/slammed, stage equipment has moved, and odd noises have been heard. The actors here are also so scared of the basement that ALL of us refuse to go down into the basement alone, even during the day. At night, we'll go down in groups as large as possible and stay for as little time as possible. It just feels evil down there. Plus several of the actors (myself included) say that there is a certain corner of the basement that feels colder, or eviler. Even with all of the lights lit, it looks a little cloudier in that corner. It is a very eerie building. Our chapel is also supposed to be haunted, but I don't know the story or have any first hand experience with it.
