Thin Red Line


So there I was, in the men's room in an office building in Georgetown, and there was a red line taped down to the floor in front of the urinal. I spent a long time pondering this. Days later, I'm still pondering it. Was it a snide hint from the janitor that people need to stand closer? Doubt it, because it's actually too far away from the urinal to be a proper free-throw line.

The Haunted Restrooms of EKU

In the early 1990s I received a firsthand account from a former Eastern Kentucky University janitor, who affirmed having witnessed the "glimpse from the corner of your eye" variety of ghosts in several of the restrooms in the Bert Combs Building.

Specifically, both sets of the third and fourth floor men's restrooms were said to be haunted (there's a men's room on diagonally opposite sides of each floor). The former EKU employee said he often felt an eerie presence in the rooms with him while cleaning the place up at the end of the day. He gradually grew accustomed to the entities, and reported that another janitor corroborated his story.
