For my haunting, I intend to collect information on Frederick Pettengill. I will need to collect data on his time at Bates, which includes delving into what he may have participated in, what sports he might have played, how he had a presence on campus etc. I will also do research on what he did later in life, and what allowed him to make such a significant contribution to Bates to have a building named after him. I will very likely be able to find some information on his time at Bates by going through the Bates newspaper archives either online or by visiting the Muskie Archives and may be able to find information on his successes after Bates through some simple google searches or by going through the library’s resources. As for his contributions to Bates, I assume I will be able to find that kind of information online or by speaking to some of the Muskie Archives staff for guidance. I currently am unsure how I am going to use this information to “haunt” campus, and in all honestly, I don’t know what “haunting” entails in the first place.
