Two security guards on the Haskell campus were doing their jobs. It was around 3am and all was quiet. The only detail of note that shift was a random fog that manifested on a previously clear night. Earthbound clouds billowed from the wetlands and rolled across the hills and grass. It snaked through the buildings and moved up towards the memorial stadium. One
of the security officers said “It was bizarre. It was like the fog was something supernatural.”
The guards that night recounted that they were driving from Blalock Hall down to Blue Eagle Hall so they could secure the buildings. This is a proce- dure where they check that all the doors are locked and all of the buildings are free of intruders and mischief. They described that when they pulled into the parking lot of Blue Eagle, they marveled at the fog and how heavy it was. After a few moments, the vapor cleared. What the patrol saw next still baffles them. Where Tommaney Hall stood, there was no longer a building. Where Tecumseh and Sequoyah Halls are, there was nothing. They said in the window of the phantom fog that there were hills and long grass, unkemp- They could make out a tree line in the distance.
Trees that stood where they had not previously been. It was as if the buildings had never been erected on that ground at all. They got out of their vehicle and both gazed at the empty scene. For only three or four minutes the security officers stared in awe. Where had the buildings gone? Light haze swept over a natural landscape. It was how the land would have looked before civilization.
The syrupy murkiness rolled in again. The security guards watched as the open land was once more engulfed in opaque air. They looked at each other trying to understand what was happening. When the cloud cleared, all was normal. The library was back in its original place.
The buildings and landscapes were as they are currently. It was as if nothing had happened at all.
Strange occurrences happen on this campus. It does not take much to see and experience events that defy science. Keep an open mind. You never know when you might stumble across a phantom fog that shows more to reality than is known.
