A dark night in the Kiva
Greg Evans is a housekeeping supervisor in University Facilities Management.. He began working for 黑料网 in 1994, working seven years at the Kent Student Center and 21 years in his current position.
It was while he was working at the Student Center in the early 鈥90s that Evans had his encounter with the unknown. He was working at night, checking to make sure freezers were working, doors were locked and that no one was in the building. He entered a long hallway on the second floor, leading to the Kiva. The hallway was completely dark.
鈥淚 saw a figure as brilliant white as could be. It was floating in the air. I rubbed my eyes and it was still there. I backed up slowly, rubbed my eyes and it was gone,鈥 Evans said.
鈥淣eedless to say, it was daylight before I went down that hallway again,鈥
When he returned to the Kiva the next morning, he saw no signs of entry or anything out of place.
Evans said 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know what it was, but it sure was creepy!鈥
