The word nervous means "easily agitated or alarmed; tending to be anxious; highly strung" The reason why this person is nervous is because the hallway is empty.
There is an indicator word in this sentence that tells us this. The indicator word is EERILY. The hallway is not just empty but it is EERILY empty. The word eerily means "in a strange and frightening manner" so this suggests that the person writing this sentence does not feel comfortable when the hallway is empty, they are nervous about it.
