The Colonel

Missouri · USA · Church

Almost every member of staff in the convention centre has seen him: an older man dressed entirely in black, between midnight and four.

Staff working in the convention centre attached to this hotel in Springfield, Missouri call him the Colonel, and almost all of them have seen him.

He appears late, between midnight and four in the morning, in the ballroom and in the back corridors. He is an older man, dressed entirely in black.

The sighting everyone repeats came from a new employee, who saw him and asked a colleague a question about him.

That is the classic form and it is the strongest kind of report in this archive: somebody who does not know the story, sees a person going about the building, and mentions it in passing as a fact.

A convention centre at three in the morning is a particular place. It is enormous, it is lit, and it holds perhaps four people, none of whom can see each other.

The hotel is open.
