The First Sighting

It was a snowy night in 1937. The library's janitor, doing his nightly duty, headed to the library at 3 am. He was to shovel coal into the furnace for warming the library for the next business day.

Armed with a gun and a flashlight because of never knowing what could be lurking in the dark of an empty building, the janitor made his way to the basement.

Suddenly as he neared the furnace, he froze motionless, dropping his flashlight on the dusty basement floor.

Standing before him in the dark was a ghostly veiled lady dressed in glowing grey. He bent down to pick up his flashlight and noticed even her shoes were glowing grey.

Before he could regain his composure, the image disappeared. Frightened and confused, he forgot about shoveling the coal, and ran wildly from the library...never to return again.
