The Halloween season just got a whole lot scarier at DU. An unexplained series of strange events have been occurring that are leaving many students puzzled. These events should be taken more seriously by administrative officials.
Many DU students are going viral on TikTok, but not by choice. A tall white man wearing a suit has been coming up to students on campus and having them take part in his prank. He uses his charm to make students believe that he is indeed a business major testing out his cologne product. He asks if he could spray students’ wrists. The students are then horrified by what comes after.
The cologne begins to develop a horrifying smell. The man reveals the origin of the smell, human feces. His secret cameraman then makes sure to get the full reaction of their victims. The video is then posted on social media platforms, such as Tik Tok, where it surpasses thousands of views.
Many students have come forward to express their frustration of going viral without granting permission to be filmed. Anonymous reports explain that the smell from the fake cologne lingers and does not come off until they take a very thorough shower.
The man claims to have gotten the bottle from eBay after letting the students know it was all a prank and no actual human feces was in the product. So he goes around spraying students randomly from a bottle he bought off a weird website. With no actual confirmation of what products or chemicals are in such cologne. But hey, at least it’s not human feces, right?
No warning has been sent out to students through email or text alerts about the cologne testing man.
But this month’s series of unfortunate events do not end there. In late September a text alert was sent out to the student body on reports of a white naked male near Josephine street by the Gamma Phi Beta house. Word spread like rapid fire. Soon after, another text was sent out saying that there was no longer a threat to the DU community. Leaving many questions unanswered. Who was the man? Why was he naked?
Lastly, the greatest mystery of them all, the entire campus has been covered in strange unexplained graffiti. Some say it’s a cat, others say it looks like the purple devil emoji. It contains Xs for eyes and a faint frown. Attached is what appears to be a signature at the bottom left of the drawing. Students are yet to be contacted and warned about the graffiti from campus officials.
Everyone seems to be in the dark with all the strange happenings on campus. Students are in the middle of their midterms and should not have more external stress added to their lives. It is ridiculous to have to worry about poop cologne man, naked man and a wannabe graffiti vigilante. More action needs to be taken by administrative officials to protect the students and investigate the happenings on campus.
