Ghost of UNI

Located on the University of Northern Iowa campus, in Ceder Falls,Iowa.

The other infamous ghost of UNI, is the most famous of the two. Augie reportedly resides in Lawther hall, which during World War II was used as an infirmary. Stories vary from that he was a patient there that died after falling in love with a nurse, to the story that he fell in love with a nurse who fell sick and died from typhus, after which he commited suicide to join her in death. Reports of Augies first started appearing in 1977. At that time he was reported to have changed the lettering on a bulletin board outside one room to say "Augie will return to haunt Bordeaux House."

Since Lawther is an all girls dorm, people started to report that they would see a man walking around late at night, wearing some sort of uniform. One time an resident's assistant followed him and watched as he disappeared into the girl's restroom. She followed him in there and found she was alone in the restroom.

Some residents believe that the scariest story about Augie involves a resident who awoke one night to find that her TV screen was blue. She could hear footsteps moving across the floor. She had to hold tightly on to her sheets when someone started to pull them off from the other end of the bed. At the same time the TV started to flicker and the words "Good Night" appeared on the screen. The resident ended up punching herself in the face when the powerful tugging on her sheets suddenly stopped and her hands flew upward.

A private investigator was hired in the 1970’s after several reports of bizarre happenings. However, nothing was ever really done any father than that.
