Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts was established in 1885 as a training school for YMCA workers. One popular urban legend claims that Alumni Hall is haunted by the spirit of a man named James Naismith, who invented the sport of basketball while attending Springfield College in 1891. Although legends of Mr. Naismith's spirit haunting the college have been passed down for generations, very few credible accounts of firsthand encounters with spirits at the college exist, and many believe these stories are nothing more than urban legends.
