About a week after the body had been discovered, recovered and investigated a professor's family filed a missing person's report. Dr. Famish (I am not kidding) had gone missing after failing to call his mother (age 93) in a month. According to Barney, he swore the old woman had said that he son, now confirmed to be the body in section 4D would call every week to check in on her. Barney said she said "I kept thinking I should call someone but by the time I remember to call I couldn't remember what I was calling about."
What is even more unbelievable is when they finally found the log where Dr. Famish had signed in and never signed out the proverbial pooh had hit the fan and several staffers had been repositioned in the worst jobs the Admins could come up with.
Dr. Famish had died from natural causes apparently right after arriving in his office. But since there was a strict "Do not disturb" policy on those offices nothing short of a fire or Atomic attack would have gotten anyone to bother him.
Needless to say, the guards were issued keys, "knock first" instructions and told to periodically sweep the offices from time to time. We guards were told to stay out of the offices and the keys we checked for by the Admins randomlty- which meant for a month they were riding us every other day and then they forgot and moved on to other jobs.
Vintage refused to ever go back to the 4th floor. On rounds he would stay at the stairs while his partner swept the floor or patrolled it. He always got a sick shaky look on his face whenever he went near any of the offices and soon he was seldom seen anywhere at the library except on rare occasions.
Thanks to his reaction, the cleaning crew refused to clean section 4D without an escort being convinced of it being cursed and haunted. Many of them bolted every time a weird or unusual noise came from that area and had to be reassured that they would not be eaten by the famished ghost (I am not kidding) of the fourth floor stacks.
