220 Main Building was once a triple dorm room. Today it houses a resident advisor. Although it is one of the most beautiful rooms in Main, boasting its own fireplace, many students refuse to live there. While the room was stll a triple, one woman who was living there became obsessed with the occult. Her friends became more and more anxious about her as she slipped further into a depression. No matter how hard they tried, she would not talk to anyone or try to get any help. One day, the friends went shopping off-campus, but they had to leave the depressed woman alone. She resisted all efforts to cajole her into going. So they left, having done all that they could.

When the shoppers returned, they were told that their friend had committed suicide. Today, it is said that although Main has been remodelled and the rooms are not the same, anyone in Room 220 who looks in the mirror over the mantelpiece in just the right way can see her ghost, sitting near a corner. Although few claim to have seen her, the room is full of cold spots -- sure signs of supernatural activity.
