History & local legend
Tyrone Jennings was a new Immaculata campus-safety officer when he encountered what he believed was a ghost in Gabriele Library. Recalling the event in a December 2019 interview, he placed it about fifteen years earlier, during a night patrol with a more experienced officer.
The two men entered through the library’s double doors and reached a glass display case in the lobby. Jennings said the room suddenly felt cold. A woman in an old nun’s habit appeared from the wall on their right, glowing from within as she moved across the lobby. His colleague ran outside, but Jennings stood unable to move.
The figure passed into the opposite wall without acknowledging him. Only after she disappeared could Jennings back out of the library and lock the doors.
