When I was there for a short stint, my job dept. was in the depths of the basement (upholstery shop).  Sometimes I'd go there after a class to finish something up or work on something.  There quite a few times late at night - it was just creepy.  You felt like something was there - watching.  I eventually quit going there at night.  It was just a vibe.  I still believe there are places spirits like hanging out, maybe something happened in a place once, or, I don't know.  I don't believe in dead people haunting things or being ghosts, but sometimes, there are some places, things or people that give off a "vibe" and not a pleasant one. 
To me, all of Rome City gave off an old, unpleasant vibe - it just wasn't right.  That's the only way I can explain it.  Many people love it and have fond memories, but I was glad to be out of there.  I never liked it.  It reminded me of an old, smelly, bedridden old person that we spruced up.  Strange mind pic, I know, but that's what it reminded me of.
