He Walks, Stalks the Halls, Waits for Night to Fall He walks, stalks the halls, waits for night to fall and then haunts the corridors of Holland Library. His are the errie sounds of footsteps that echo along the second and third floors of Holland after the facility is closed for the night. Police, janitors and other library work¬ ers have gotten a quick glimpse at various times of the so-called Monday Ghost, a nickname coined by library workers after a particularly baffling incident Nov. 5. A maintenance supervisor for Holland had entered the building unusually early that day at about 6 a.m. and heard foot¬ steps on the second floor — footsteps from a building that was empty and needless to say — dead quiet. No official explanation has been re¬ leased on the Ghost but it was a bit of sport to buy a steaming cup of coffee at the CUB and discuss the winter-time riddle — who or what is the Monday Ghost. The ghost was reported four times in November after the first sighting Oct. 29. The “spirit” was also reported in Decem¬ ber and again in January. Library workers say unofficially that they feel the guest confines his stays to the second and third floors where no em¬ ployees are stationed and only library us¬ ers, book stackers and janitors make an occasional sojourn. The official library comment is basically “no comment” and the matter is consi¬ dered a police problem. Workers at the facility talk about the Ghost and privately wonder which dusty recess of the library hides the secret of the — well, the phantom. Supervisors of the library have chased sounds and at times found evidence of the ghost, but nobody to confirm that some¬ body is living in Holland. There are offices and workers on the first and fourth floors, so it must be on the second and third floors that the creature lives. Footsteps, lights left on in a restroom, a can of softdrink found where nothing had been located before — these are some of the clues that started the legend, if it can be called that. Library employees say privately that it must be a student who has his or her gear stashed and comes out to roam after the library closes at 11 p.m. The theories flowed fast and wide — the ghost is a starving graduate stu¬ dent who just moved inside after the cold weather started. — it is a student who could find no hous¬ ing in Pullman. — it is a former student whose soul was condemned to wander forever, searching for a missing library book. One of the more interesting ideas is that the legendary ghost of former college president A.E. Bryan, who is said to haunt the hall named after him, has moved across the street to take up residence in the library. The Bryan ghost is said only to make appearances when visitors are around. One story was that in 1964 a theater crew was moving furniture from Bryan’s upper floors when a rocking chair suddenly started moving by itself. An another time a stage light crashed to the floor for no appa¬ rent reason. Other legends abound around the cam¬ pus. One that most student know is that the sculptured figure called Nature Boy who reads a book on the outside of the west wall of the library turns a page every time that a virgin passes. At the last count, Nature Boy was up to page 70. Bryan’s ghost is said to live behind the clock and his face turns red each evening as he peeks at the antics of students. Concerning women, his clockface is said to blink anytime a virgin walks past. Perhaps Bryan who was president from 1893 to 1916 just wants to check-out the new library constructed in 1950 since Bryan Hall constructed in 1909 was origi¬ nally the library and assembly hall. 21
