Ghosts in Archives



Our building is shared with the State Library.  Not many years after it
opened (in 1971 - ghosts aren't just for old buildings!), a Library employee
died in a violent car crash.  Their microfilm area where she worked adjoins
one of our floors.  Sergeant Garcia of Capitol Security swore he saw her in
the Archives while he did after-hours walk-throughs.

He really was Sergeant Garcia...and he really did turn white and get sweaty
when he talked about it.

(where we're not wading anymore; we're just jammed in Processing and
Receiving, the entire staff, like sardines in a can as we await return to
our flood-damaged offices)
