Sioux City History and Culture by Bicycle Part 87: Sioux CIty's Haunted History Part 9: Morningside College's Dimmit Hall

On the campus of Morningside College is an 384 student, 15 floor residence hall called Dimmit Hall. It is one of the largest on the campus. It is unique compared to all of the other residence halls because it features: Large recreation room with big screen TV, pool table, ping pong table, and foosball, large community kitchen, utility/kitchenette rooms on most floors, nice TV lounges, a sun deck, beautiful formal lounge for community gatherings, sorority and fraternity halls, very Social and close to Elwood Olsen Stadium and Allee Gymnasium.

But those things are not the most unique feature Dimmit Hall has to offer. It is also unique because it is haunted by the ghost of a student. The student, a female, commited suicide on her the women's side of the building in an area called the hidden hall. So named because there is no entrance to the outside. A person has to go up or down a level to get out of that area of the building. She hanged herself on the old heating pipes in her room. Residents of her room claim to hear a girls voice and gagging and choking sounds at night while they are studying. They've opened the door thinking a a hall mate is playing a joke and yell down the hall for it to stop, but no one else is there when this is happening. Other women students claim to have seen a modertly dressed young woman walking slowly down the hall sniffling and crying and walking through a door into the haunted room.
