Barry and Danielle left the library and started across the campus quadrangle. Danielle said, “I need to run by the Business office. Wanna come with?”

Barry glanced over at the large white Administration building on the opposite side of campus, his pace unconsciously slowing. “I hate going in Curtis, gives me the creeps.”

“Well, I do think the whole place is going to just collapse someday. I mean, have you gone up the stairs by the switchboard lately? I swear, they lean to the right. It’s like you’re in a funhouse…or drunk. Plus some of the offices seem to be on a tilt. Hell, there is a reason why whole sections of the building are closed off.”

“And then there’s the ghost,” Barry said matter-of-factly.

“What ghost?”

Barry stopped right in the middle of the walkway, causing a group of girls behind them to divert into the grass. “You haven’t heard about the ghost of Curtis?”

Danielle shook her head and narrowed her eyes skeptically. “Are you shitting me or what?”

“For real. You know some of the offices on the third floor used to be dorms back in the day, right?”

“So I’ve heard.”

“Well, back during the Civil War, there was this chick named Patty something-or-other, and her fiancé got blown up by a landmine in battle.”

“I don’t think they had landmines in the Civil War.”

“Whatever. Point is, he kicked it and she was all heart-broken, right? So one night after dinner, she takes a knife back up to her dorm room and plunges it right into her chest, bled to death in her bed. And now she wanders around Curtis, there have been several sightings of her on the third floor. They stay she still has the knife sticking out of her chest.”

Danielle laughed, but there was a nervous edge to the sound. “Sounds like a bunch of horseshit, if you ask me.”

“No way. I heard Dr. Rob telling some of the guys on the lacrosse team about it, and Dr. Rob would know. He’s a history professor, after all.”

Danielle looked back toward Curtis, now seeing the building in a new light. With its flaking paint, bell tower, and large white columns out front, it certainly looked like the kind of place that might be haunted. And she had always gotten a weird vibe in there, like someone was watching her.

“So you still wanna go by the Business office?” Barry asked.

“Uhm, no, it can wait.”
