I think the ghosts are messing with your photos DR ELMORE.....but that's a creepy story.
On Halloween, 1968, the Miami University theatre group held a seance at Fisher Hall. My mother put an ad in the Middletown Journal for a medium, and the story got picked up by Associated Press and went nationwide.
The medium never met my mother, only spoke to her on the telephone, yet she knew me when she arrived at Fisher Hall. The place was packed for the seance, and she went into a trance. My memory is vague now, but my memory is that she mentioned there were ropes and knives involved in Tammen's disappearance, that he was lured to the formal gardens late at night, killed there and dismembered and then carried back into Fisher Hall in luggage and burned in the incinerator.
The medium also claimed that several of the perpetrators were influentially placed, which is why the disappearance was never solved. At the time, I remember reading some material about Tammen's disappearance, but no one's ever going to know what actually happened.
Everyone in the theatre dept. had a story about Fisher Hall; it was most definitely haunted, and the lawn between it and the formal gardens was equally unsettling. I remember one summer night sitting on the Fisher Hall porch facing the formal gardens during a performance; it was unsettling and the hair on my head stood up. I was aware that someone I could vaguely make out stood and watched me from a tree closest to the porch. Whatever it was seemed old, like several centuries old. It was really unnerving.
