Report: Panty-Snatching Ghosts Haunt Iowa College Baseball Players' Home

University of Iowa baseball players say they have some extra-worldly guest living in their home and playing shenanigans on the squad, such as stealing underwear off their girlfriends in the dark of night.

And, local paranormal team has confirmed their suspicions about the presence of the ghosts.

The seven roommates, six from the baseball squad and one from club hockey, had been noticed some strange happenings around their North Dubuque Street house, in the attic, bedrooms and on the television.

Four from the local paranormal team came to investigate and said, yes, in fact two ghosts are also living there. It's not clear if the spirits are friend or foe or if they are chipping in on rent or pizza night.

The Daily Iowan has a report about what the students say happened:

Trevor Kenyon, along with five other members of the Iowa baseball team and one club hockey player, recently learned they might not be the only ones living in their house on North Dubuque Street. A local paranormal-investigating task force claims to have confirmed the residents have two spirits in their house. One, an older, grandfatherly figure — whom the guys have named “Tim” — roams the halls and rooms of the three-story house. Another, a younger girl, stays put in one particular room of the house.

“We’ve lived here over the past two years,” junior pitcher Aaron Smit said. “But over the past few months, we noticed things getting a little bit weird. We had a kid in here who thought he saw a ghost — a shadow in a form of a human.”

The players suspicions have grown with some strange happenings, such as chairs getting moved around and the removal of girls' undergarments while they were sleeping.

Members of the house began noticing chairs being moved around in the kitchen late at night. And on two separate occasions, girlfriends of players have had underwear removed from them while sleeping, even though they were wearing pants. Each time, the undergarments were discovered in another place. Smit said the list “sort of goes on.”
