Yeah, ghost!  I remember her talking about the ghost on the side of one of
the medical school buildings.  Alice, isn't that right?  It was a man's
face, and his eyes would follow you as you walked past.  YB said the school
tried unsuccessfully to wash it off, failed, and tried sand blasting, only
to have the ghost move to another part of the wall.

Anyone remember who the ghost was supposed to have been?
