Winthrop students document an unreported ghost in Tillman Hall – reported to be the ghost of a 90’s grunge rock fan.
Student Billy Geist documented the ghost over the weekend. The apparition – spotted in typical Kurt Cobain sunglasses – appeared lost in the hallway, but became more relaxed as time passed.
Geist said the ghost was not afraid of him because of Geist’s combat boots and flannel jacket.
“I thought he was just some dude until I got close,” Geist said. “I didn’t know he was dead ‘till I tried to dab him up.”
Geist reported the ghost smelled of cigarette smoke. He faintly heard the sound of Pearl Jam’s “Alive” while close to the specter. He “hung out” with the phantom until a ___ scared him away.
“He was a pretty chill guy,” Geist said. “Too bad he’s dead.”
Winthrop is still looking into who the ghost could be. The cause of death for the ghost is still unknown.
