Known as \u201cThe Woman in White,\u201d because she is often seen in her early 20th-century nurse\u2019s uniform, Bessie is a ghost that many still believe walks the RMCAD campus. Bessie is considered a benevolent spirit, who stayed long after the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society left the grounds.

The old tuberculosis hospital once occupied the grounds that now make up the RMCAD campus. One patient in particular was drawn to Bessie because of her considerate nature. He was known only as \u201cThe Violinist\u201d because of the beautiful music he played each night as the nurses did their rounds. Because of the Violinist\u2019s fight with consumption, he found himself at death\u2019s door more than once. Each time he recovered and each time he credited his recovery to the diligent work of Bessie. For this reason, he fell in love with her, obsessed even, going as far as to propose on more than one occasion despite her consistent refusals. The Violinist was heartbroken by Bessie\u2019s disinterest and decided one fateful night that he would propose one last time, and no matter her answer, their names would forever be entangled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48f1be1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48f1be1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_81775\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81775\" style=\"width: 296px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-81775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/victor-issac.jpeg\" alt=\"Framed photo of Victor Issac\" width=\"296\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/victor-issac.jpeg 523w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/victor-issac-196x300.jpeg 196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cIsaac Victor Plays Violin,\u201d University Libraries Online Exhibits, accessed October 26, 2023, exhibits.library.du.edu\/librariespresents\/items\/show\/108<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Late one night in the future RMCAD quad, The Violinist found Bessie, got down on one knee, and proposed to her with a loaded gun behind his back.

Born in Pennsylvania on June 8, 1893, Marold was a WWI <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/blog\/art-ed-student-shares-her-knowledge-from-the-coast-guard-rmcad-and-her-summer-internship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>veteran<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> working as a nurse at Camp Mills in New York. Sources differ on whether she contracted tuberculosis or the Spanish flu, but we know that she left active service in 1918 to seek recovery at the JCRS in Lakewood. Within 10 months, Marold recovered from her ailments and was named Head Nurse at the JCRS in 1919.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Head Nurse, Marold interacted with many patients each day including Issac Victor. Not much is known about Victor, other than the fact that he was a Russian Violinist diagnosed with tuberculosis who had moved to Colorado from Canada. On August 20, 1919, Victor\u2019s condition had worsened. That evening as Bessie Marold left the facility\u2019s dining hall (believed to be where the Triboro building now stands), Victor proposed. When Marold refused Victor, he shot her in the abdomen three times. She was then rushed to the campus\u2019s operating room however she was pronounced dead by the time her body arrived. It is believed she died instantly upon the first shot. After murdering Marold, Victor then turned the gun on himself, pointing it at his forehead. However, breaking from urban legend, Victor survived, never having pulled the trigger on himself. Victor never stood trial for the murder of Bessie Gertrude Marold as he later died from his tuberculosis while in police custody without Bessie to save him this time.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32d198f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"32d198f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-708abe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"708abe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure id=\"attachment_81774\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81774\" style=\"width: 201px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-81774 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marold-201x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Bessie Marold\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marold-201x300.jpeg 201w, https:\/\/www.rmcad.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/marold.jpeg 463w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-81774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of findagrave.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone enjoys a good scare, whether you believe in ghost stories or not. However, the legend of \u201cThe Woman in White\u201d has eclipsed the life story of Bessie Marold. The truth is that Marold was a hardworking medical professional, military veteran, and tuberculosis\/flu survivor in a time when women had to work exceptionally hard to achieve her level of success.
