Ghost alive and well in Selleck, residents say
GHOST from Page 9 _
Lisa seems like a very normal
college student in a typical dorm
room. A macaroni-and-cheese-en
crusted hot pot sits on the floor, her
walls are decorated with a poster of a
half-naked man, a picture of New
England and a giant-size beer label.
The decor is Early Disarray.
When she talks, she speaks like
any student discussing a serious mat
ter, such as the Persian Gulf or reli
gion. She is sincere. Very sincere.
But her words, when taken alone,
can seem almost crazy, and Lisa real
izes this.
“You can’t explain what its like to
have a roommate in your own body,”
and she smiles as she says this.
“She really wishes I wasn’t talking
about this.”
She smokes during the interview
and her hand trembles a little bit, and
her voice sometimes cracks.
Lisa said that when Marie mani
fests in Lisa’s body, her voice be
comes deeper and her eyes turn from
green to blue. She said her eye color
has never changed before.
Lisa laid she doesn’t mind that
Marie is possessing her.
“When she’s not here, there’s an
emptiness inside me,” Lisa said. “If I
let her go, she plays havoc with every
one else. I can handle it.”
“She has the strength 1 don’t
have,” she said. “I have a lot of per
sonal problems at this point.”
“We’ve got to share,” she said,
when asked if she wasn’t worried that
Marie would destroy her. “She can’t
live without me at this point.”
However, Lisa said, she could
banish Marie into limbo if she really
wanted to.
“She’s not evil. She’s nothing to be
scared of.”
But Marie wants to change Lisa’s
life, she said. Marie, when she was
living, lived in Connecticut once.
Lisa said she spent a summer there.
‘We’ve got to
share. She can’t
live without me at
this point.’
—Lisa
“She wants to go back to Connecti
cut, but I’m not sure I want to go,” she
said. “There’s somebody I have to get
to and I have to save him before he
hurts himself.”
Lisa said she’s always been recep
tive to things.
“I just know — I know a lot of
things without people telling me.”
Although Lisa says she can control
Marie, sometimes she gets tired, or
not in the mood for her and lets her go.
That’s when Marie shows up on the
floor.
Lisa said Marie showed up in late
February, when Lisa was having
problems with her boyfriend. Lisa is
also estranged from her parents.
“I just couldn’t go on hurting them
anymore,” she said.
Lisa said Marie came because she
needed her.
“I can’t imagine anyone not be
lieving in it (the ghost situation),” she
said.
Lisa said Marie is not really like a
spirit or a poltergeist.
“She’s like Marie, that’s all she’s
like.”
Not everyone believes in Lisa’s
story.
“I don’t take it on faith, but I’m not
going to say it’s impossible,” Pursell
said.
‘‘We have a ghost in my home, so
I believe in it easier,” she said.
No one can say for sure what is
happening on 6300. Anyone who has
lived in the dorms can attest to the
strange drafts and oddities of the
/architecture. Shorts can turn on hair
dryers, doors could be locked without
a thought, keys are lost and found in
strange places everyday.
What happens on 6300 could be
just end of the semester silliness in
spired by some strange coincidences.
It could be a poltergeist generated by
a disturbed woman. Or it could be the
fight of a once-living woman to be
whole again.
It’s not everyday that the twilight
zone comes So close to home.
Congrats.
Un Kappa Feu/. The fun's just beginning.

Dental students take studies to heart
CADAVERS from Page 6
dents use to apply what they have
learned.
The lab is a serious place.
Dr. Stan Ham, associate professor
of oral biology and course director of
gross anatomy, said the cadavers are
important to the students in the lab.
“This is a place of learning,” Ham
said. “Without them, we can not learn
anatomy properly.”
Ham expects students and visitors
in the lab, such as reporters and high
school science classes, to treat the
cadavers in a respectful manner.
“These people have donated their
bodies for the learning of the stu
dent,” Harn said. “I ihink that’s a
really important point to remember.”
