Bennett W. Green-- Part 11: The Ghost and the Books
According to library records, his ghost once haunted the University of Virginia's Rotunda, which also served as the school's library until 1938. When the books were moved to the new Alderman Library, Green's ghost evidently followed.
Students and staff still report unexplained footsteps and a sense that someone is watching them, particularly after midnight. (A good time for ghosts.)
One of the Rotunda alleys is named after Green.
