I spent four years at Haskell and I've had about six experiences during my time there. Here are a few that I like to share.

1) It was fall of 2011 and I was a new freshman staying at Blalock. I had heard some stories about Blalock but I had never experienced anything personal- ly. Then one night as I lay in bed in the dark, I couldn't get comfortable so I tossed and turned for a bit until I settled on my left side, with my back toward the rest of the room. That's when it happened. I heard a whistling sound. At first I thought it was my roommate but then I could hear him snoring from his side of the room, what I was hearing was coming from right behind me. As I lay there, the sound kept coming at regular intervals. I thought I might have left the window open and I was hearing the wind, but then I remembered I had specifically closed it right before I turned in. I wasn't scared or anything so I made the decision to roll over. As soon as I started turning over the sound immediately stopped. Light was seeping in through the semi-closed blinds so I could see even with lights off and I couldn't see anything different or out of the ordinary. I laid there for several minutes just looking around but nothing happened again.

2) I ventured into the basement of Pokie one night. I was using my phone as a flashlight and then something activated an app on my phone. I hightailed it out of there after that happened!t

3) After my freshman year, I slept with either a light or the TV on. I did this for the next three years. 11 OlivierOctober 30,Latry 2015 performs at the Bales Organ Recital Hall The Indian Leader
