Between fifteen and twenty years ago, students who lived in Glen Park Mansion (once the home of the College's founder, Henry Wells, and now a dormitory) stored their bikes in the basement. When they came back from a break, they found all their bicycles melted together in one large mass. No one could have gotten in -- the door was kept locked to prevent theft. Nothing else in the basement was damaged, just their bicycles. No one has ever explained this occurance. Some stories say that a murdered woman is buried beneath the basement. Others claim there is a natural hot spring flowing below the mansion. Still others say the ghosts got mad and melted the bikes.
There are no further documents in the Wells College Archives to either prove or disprove the accuracy of the stories presented here.
