Elliott Hall was built in 1937, and was named after Ball brother Frank Elliott Ball. It is an exact replica of Frank's dorm at Stanford University. Frank Ball was killed in an airplane crash prior to the building being built. There have been a few reports that Frank himself might haunt the Hall, but most reports are of a man named William Car Schaumburg. Campus legend has it that on Jan. 26, 1947, William Carl Schaumburg hung himself from the rafters of the fourth floor after returning from World War II. His disfigured face and depression from a recent break up with his girlfriend are said to have led to his suicide. According to some reports, students who live on the third floor might wake up to strange noises in the middle of the night. Many students have also claimed that they have heard a table being drug across the floor or what could be feet dragging across the floor.
