I know a bunch of ghost stories from my college! Two actually happened to my friends, therefore:
1). I went to a very small liberal arts college in MN, and the only things that happen on campus during the summer are things like music camps. One of my friends was a summer RA; they'd go around and check on the unused dorms periodically. One of the dorms (where I would later live) was actually two halls put together: one dedicated to first year students, and the second for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The two halls share a main entrance and lounges on a few levels. Since the music program is really big, most of the dorms have at least one piano in the common rooms. These dorms also had sinks in each room, and a few shared bathrooms for each floor. While my friend (a guy) and another RA were making their rounds, they suddenly heard something that sounded like a child playing the piano, and little footsteps. Then all of a sudden, all of the sinks on the floor turned on. They didn't stick around.
2). Same dorm! One of the girls I knew from my Russian classes lived in this dorm before I moved in. She told me that one day she was taking a shower. She knew that she was the only one in the bathroom, and the doors creak, so you could always tell if someone came in or left. While she was showering, she suddenly heard someone yank all the toilet paper off the roll. But she hadn't heard anyone come in. I periodically remembered that when I was showering in that dorm.
I know, right? Eeek! I was glad I was never in the dorm all by myself after that. One of the deans at the college started collecting campus ghost stories after two girls living in a different dorm showed up in his office demanding to see the file on their room. He explained that they didn't keep files. Turns out the girls had a ghost. So every year at Halloween he'll tell ghost stories to students. Most of the ghosts are friendly - old professors who do stuff like make sure the drama students don't fall off the stage. The first female professor has a dorm named after her, which used to be girls-only. Now it's co-ed, so she's supposed to patrol the halls rather grumpily. There's also a ghost that plays the school's pipe organs. If I remember correctly we even have a ghost dog who used to be a campus pet.
The ghost in the two girls' room seems to have been the (only) student who died on campus. There's apparently a cave and some heating tunnels on that part of campus, and they're now closed because this boy died in them. So one night one of the girls was sitting on her bed doing homework when one of her friends opened the door, looked in, then shut the door. She asked her friend about it, and the friend said, "I didn't want to interrupt - there was a boy in a red hat sitting on the end of your bed." So of course, she freaked out, since she'd been alone. Same room: one of the girls woke up late one night and saw a boy in a red hat just sitting in the corner.
