Paranormal Activity in the Fries Building during finals week written by Evans Severe

Reports of paranormal activity have been made several times within the past two weeks at New Jersey University College. Students say that this is a re-occurring event that takes place in the Fries building every year around the time of finals. After 9:59pm during the weekdays disturbing sounds would be coming out from the empty halls says, Anthony Jean, a student who attends the University. With that being said I decided to interview him since I got the news that he was informing everyone of the paranormal activities that he had witnessed on a night that he was the last person to leave from his night class which had ended at 9:50pm. On that day Anthony had taken longer than usual to pack up all his stuff and leave. He actually stayed after class to have a discussion with the professor upon next week’s final sound project. He looked at his watch and as soon as he realized that it was 9:57pm he cut the professor short and went to go collect his stuff. As Anthony turned around to say goodbye to the professor, he was gone. "It was like the professor just vanished”, he said. A minute from that he heard hollering in the empty halls. He also mentioned that it sounded like a crowd of old people moaning out loud as he shivered in the class he went to the doorway and looked out into the hall. He saw that it was empty.
 
 Ready to head home Anthony slowly walked down the hall and passed the vending machine where he felt a cold chill down his back. Trying not to look back, he made his way down the steps where he could hear sounds coming from one of the computer rooms downstairs. He then shouted out, “ Hello!! Is anybody there?”
  
In the distance all he could then hear was a slight laughter. He also described how the voice caused a strange echo which allowed him to hear the laughter in a weird way of repetition. He then followed the voice from where he noticed it coming from, which was a computer room which was seemed to be left open for some reason. As he slowly stepped in he mentioned that his heart completely began to race and that he no longer could feel if he could breath. What he saw was unbelievable and unforgettable. He said that he saw a transparent figure of maybe a man or a soul just sitting there with the monitors and computer open. He also said that this figure did not even pay mind to him. Anthony described that it was as if this ghost of some sort was too busy enjoying himself with what it seemed to be working on unfinished projects on the computer and monitors or something.
 
 Anthony then tip toed towards the central’s office hoping he did not cause any problems between himself busy strange ghost. He wanted to go to Central's and make sure someone knew about this situation but to his surprise he saw the gate down already. He said that is strange because usually Tom is here just cleaning everything up and getting ready to close around 10:11pm or around 10:30pm on weekends. That’s when heard more noise now in this time it was coming from the closed metal gate of central.
 
 That as he then decided to leave he claimed to have heard silence as if the person in the room had seemed to leave or something. He then decided to go back to the room and check if anyone or anything still remained in there. As he approached the door he said that he had then stared face to face with a ghostly figure which then slammed the door shut. After that Anthony than heard a lock as if this figure had seemed to lock the door. With all still remaining now quite, Anthony dashed out quickly to head home and from the chill behind his neck he mentioned that he could have sworn he felt that someone was right behind him as he existed the fries building.
  
There was another incident where paranormal activity took place with another student. Katherine Wright happened to be returning her equipment to central after her late night session in the Pro tools room. She also claimed to first hearing noises but ignore them at first because she thought they were just students playing around in the halls. She placed her stuff in the open gate area when she noticed then that one of her objects had flown up in to the air as a ghastly image appeared. Katherine then jumped up and screamed at the ghostly figure. She then ran straight out of the fries building screaming all the way home. With that being said I advice you as students should keep out from being at the fries building during finals week but if you happen to be there past 10pm look out I guess and be safe.
