Early one morning, Todd says, some art students were working when they heard yelping coming from one of the terraces. The students unlocked the eastern terrace and found a cold, dead, dismembered dog lying there. Todd added there was no blood on the stairwells leading to the terrace, which would indicate someone dragged the dog up there. Likewise, there were no bloody footprints leading away from the dog, which would indicate the dog was butchered where it laid. Todd says back in the 1920's the Fine Arts building housed UM's student union building and the fourth floor was a huge ballroom.
Legend has it that one night after a dance, a girl was killed there.
Todd says acting students have talked of seeing her ghost. In her book, Munn also wrote about how during long, late-night rehearsals in the Theatre, children would look down from the balcony and see a solitary figure sitting in the empty rows of seats. No one onstage could see the person, yet the children insisted it was there. During a production of the play Macbeth, a stage collapsed and a special-effects fog machine wouldn't turn off, flooding the theatre with grey haze. During that play, Munn wrote that the women playing the three witches heard blood-curdling screams coming from offstage.
