History & local legend
John Sutton Hall at Indiana University of Pennsylvania originally contained the new Indiana Normal School. When the school opened in 1875, its first 150 students studied there. Teacher Jane Leonard also lived in the building, where students came to her apartment for guidance.
The later ghost stories focus on employees working after hours. In a 2015 IUP Magazine article, Bob Fulton described custodians hearing music in the stairwells and the sound of people running along the floor above. The noises occurred while staff were carrying out their night work, often alone.
One custodian responded by wearing headphones to block out the disturbance.
