Chicago Public Library
03/09/2011
An item you requested has been cancelled because: All copies charged/traced/lost. Thank you for using the Chicago Public Library.
Okay, one, it's extremely funny that I BROKE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Two, way to tell me which item that was, Public Library, so that I can make a note to find it somewhere else.
Mind you, maybe they just don't want to have too much to do with me; I requested three books on the history of crime, a corporate management handbook (I KNOW), and a book on geometric origami. God alone knows what they think I'm doing but I can't be up to any good, frankly.
...several people replied, describing a variety of ghosts said to haunt the cemetery. These ghosts were described as a tall man in a hat, a spectral cyclist, a woman in white, a face glaring through the bars of a gate, a figure wading into a pond, a pale gliding form, bells ringing, and voices calling.
This is from an article on the Highgate Vampire. Emphasis mine because that has got to be the best phrase I have heard all week. SPECTRAL CYCLIST. It sounds like the name of a 70's glam band.
