An eerie apparition, long known to haunt the English Department each fall, was photographed just outside the Writing Center this afternoon. Some speculation exists that the spirit of a disgruntled student revisits the department each year around the time of his suspension. Others say this black phantasm is the Ghost of Papers Past, and students have reported hair-raising whispers of "rewrite, rewrite" as they pass down the department's hallway. A few contend that the phantom visits classrooms in an effort to get enough BELL Core credits for graduation. Only one thing is certain. The Gothic abounds in the English Department.
