Call Bill Murray

Apparently there's a woman haunting the construction site and maybe a library stack near you.

From the Archivist:
Work on the building continues round the clock, and several members of the graveyard shift have reported seeing the silent figure of a woman in a long black dress. She usually appears around 2:00 o’clock in morning, almost always on the third floor of the building. One worker saw her pass by the door of the room where he was working, heading for a corridor that he knew had been blocked by the construction. He immediately went to check the corridor, only to find it completely empty.
Sounds pretty sexy, right?

There have been other sightings, too:
Another member of the construction crew, though she has not seen the woman herself, reports that her father — a custodian in the building during the 1960s — frequently mentioned catching glimpses of the ghostly figure of a woman in a black dress when he worked alone late at night.
The Archivist also wants to assure everyone that the workers are not getting loaded at night:
We take no position on this ectoplasmic disturbance, other than to point out that the construction crew appear to be sober at the end of their shifts when we arrive at 6:30 each morning
The Archivist sounds awesome.

This is a great post. Also, anyone who has not yet met Bill, the Archivist, should take a few moments to do so. He's undoubtedly the coolest, classiest cat at Boalt -- it's well worth your time to see him.

I don't care how "cool" or "classy" he is, hiring a cat to be our archivist is just another absurd waste of my tuition dollars.
