The old Dayton hanging field was directly under what is now the cafeteria. Thieves and cattle rustlers were executed on it.

Blair Hall at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio stands on ground with a specific and unpleasant history. The old Dayton hanging field was directly beneath what is now the cafeteria, and men were executed there for theft and cattle rustling.

What is reported in the building is physical rather than visual. People describe being tugged at. Others describe a smothering sensation, with pressure on the chest.

Staff report hearing laughter when they know nobody is nearby.

The pressure on the chest is worth a note. It is the single most commonly reported physical sensation in hauntings worldwide and it has a well understood medical counterpart in sleep paralysis, though that does not apply to someone walking through a cafeteria in daylight.
