This time,
however, it didn't work. Maybe it was his slippery, wet feet, but some
say he hurtled down the elevator shaft to his death. Others say he actually
got the elevator working again, only to be crushed as it moved down the
shaft before he could get out of the way.
Today, the ghost of the unfortunate RA not only revisits the scene of
his last duty, but has been held responsible for other strange occurrences
in the hall. One year during spring break, two RAs returned from dinner
to discover all the fifth-floor water faucets turned on. Residents have
reported seeing the elevator doors open on the fifth floor late at night,
but have wondered how the stop was made with no one inside to press the
button.
The most chilling evidence of the ghostly RA, however, is the trail of
wet footprints leading from the showers to the elevator, and sometimes
to a vacant, locked room. Spring break is the best time to watch for these
footprints, as the doomed RA reenacts his fatal mission.
