To celebrate Halloween being around the corner, we’re telling a spine-chilling legend of the Third Eyed Man rumored to terrorize students at The UofSC in the service tunnels referred to as catacombs.

The disfigured man with a third eye was first seen on Nov. 12, 1949 by a student named Christopher Nichols who referred to the creature as “The Sewer Man.”

A few months later, the Third Eye Man was spotted again by a university officer reporting a figure hunched over mutilated chicken remains around the loading docks of Longstreet Theatre with silver skin and a third eye on his forehead. After another incident where students were chased by someone — or something — with silver skin, most of the entryways at the university were sealed off and declared closed.

The legend of the Third Eye Man lives thanks to TikToks like this.
