A grumpy old ghost haunts the halls of the Interdisciplinary Resource Center.
Legend has it he used to be a janitor named Gordy O’Brian, dubbed the IRC Creeper, often seen cleaning the halls and grumbling at the students who passed him and those who dropped their trash on the ground. He allegedly would regularly steal from the vending machine until one day, he was crushed while trying to shake the machine to get a bag of Cheetos that was stuck.
Numerous students claim he still roams the halls and possesses the vending machine, intentionally stopping snacks before they fall, just to annoy students. “All I wanted was a snack,” one anonymous student complained.
The only time he comes out is to eat a sandwich at Erbert and Gerbert’s. “We just give it to him for free,” an employee admitted.
Erbert and Gerbert’s employees have claimed to have seen O’Brian roam the halls and follow students headed toward the vending machine. “There’s no time to warn them,” another anonymous employee said. “Nobody has been able to buy Cheetos all year.”
Students are encouraged to use other vending machines until O’Brian settles back down, which is likely to be after Halloween.
