What at first was just another dull Tuesday night of studying quickly brightened up when about 40 to 60 people were spotted on campus and around Chapel Hill dressed as Spider-Man.
The Spider-Men were seen just after 10 p.m. in campus libraries, where they stood on tables, pretended to type on desktop computers and mimed shooting webs from their wrists.
“They started at the Carolina Square pool and then we saw videos of them running on Franklin Street,” Hadyn Moss, a junior environmental studies student, said.
People quickly went to Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat to spread the funny news. The event was coordinated by Henry McDonald, a senior member of Sigma Chi fraternity, and the majority of the people dressed up were friends and members of the fraternity.
McDonald said he wanted to spread the Halloween cheer, so he told many people they should also dress up as Spider-Man and go around campus.
“There were easily 40 to 60 of us and my original plan was to go onto campus and squirt people with the webs,” McDonald said.
