“Fanny” originally haunted the Old Science Hall (completed in 1892). When the building was razed in 1967, Fanny was said to have moved her home to Alumni Memorial. Legend has it that she haunted the auditorium of Science Hall, which was used for plays, as well as for chapels, assemblies, and lectures, and that she loved the theatre and considered herself an actress. The story goes that when a film was shot in Knoxville in the 1920s, she had a small part in it, and having impressed the producers, she was offered a contract to go to Hollywood to be in the movies but fell ill with consumption (tuberculosis) and died soon thereafter. Fanny was seen in Science Hall in the auditorium and wandering the hallways, and after the building was razed, sightings were reported in the previously unhaunted Alumni Memorial Building in the main auditorium as plays were rehearsed and events were held.
