haunted library

we think that the branch that i work at is haunted. it is over 100 years old and amny people claim to have seen or felt ghosts. so this friday, the library has a ghoster hunter team coming in with all the equipment to see if it is really haunted. doesn't matter if it is or nt, a fun time will be had by all that attend.

That is very interesting. Most people would be surprised to know that many places new and old have spirit visitors.

My youngest son was at " home" ( our house) last night. He has a couple of visitors that frequent his house off and on. He said " they are back"

My daughter lived in a home with basement and attic inhabitants when she first got married. She informed me that she and her family are moving back to that house as soon as the current occupants move out. Her DH's aunt owns the house and she wishes to have family live there instead of strangers and has agreed to rent to them at a discounted fee.

I, as well as one of my son's and my daughter are sensitive to spirits. So far, we have only encountered the spirits of humans that have passed....thank heavens, no demons or evil beings.

My children were raised in a house that had a human spirit who lived there. When we moved, the new family's younger children saw the spirit too.

If I were a spirit stuck on earth, I would probably take up residence in a library. I love books and reading them.

I don't find it hard to believe that there are spirits that visit in our world. There is much we don't know about the other side. I do believe in Angels who visit earth when needed or called upon.

Please come back and tell us the findings of the ghost hunters. I can't wait!

@shortbreadlover... did the ghost hunters find anything?

yes they did. the library is haunted with ghosts. but they are good ghosts who do not want to harm anyone.

there was a guy who worked here that was fired for some reallyu terrible stuff he did and the ghosts said they they hated him . but that they really liked the rest of the staff. the ghost hunters knew nothing about the staff member that was fired.

i don't know if i belevie in the ghosts here but it is fun to think that they maybe old patrons or former library staff that worked here. who knows, they may even be some authors or frustrated writers.

Wow! How interesting. I guess a library would be a neat place to hang it in the afterlife, or at least for me it would be. I love books, I LIVED in the library when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing! I’ve been checking back every day since you originally posted to see if you had any news! Happy Halloween!

I lived in a haunted house when I was 5 and it followed me most of my life. Funny my family blew me off like i am crazy but one day me and mom had a shared experience ( we saw our dead St Benard) and she confessed that she lied and experienced worse than I did but she was so terrorfied she refuses to talk about it in detail.

I saw a ghost that looked a lot like an old man and i heard voices shouting my name that were not my familys voices. Something used to sit on my bed and you can see and feel the weight on my bed but nothing was there. Terrorfied me to death. Once something grabbed my feet and I was wide awake, not a sleeping hallucination. I would see shadows of people moving around. It was so terrorfying.

When we moved it followed and I continued to have things happen but less severe. The bed thing continued but I asked it to stop and it did ( oddly) I would see odd mists in the house, smells of a dead body, the night before I left for college something rearranged the furnature in my house. My dad blamed it on the dog lol Sorry but a basset hound can not lift heavy brass fixtures and move a giant couch.

It followed me to my dorm in college and would move things around ( I lived alone, no roomate or visitors) it would take my keys and leave it in another part of the dorm I never visited. I mean I use my keys to get into my room , stay in all night but somehow keys would show up someplace else and the people find it will be knocking on my door to give me my keys so my keys would move outside my room even tho I never left the room. Over the years its pretty much gone. No events in about 15- 20 years but to this day I hang onto my keys religiously.

I think me and my mom are some kind of sensitives to these things. I had plenty more experences but there is no time to type it out

@kcladyz.. I would love to hear more of your stories. I have a family member who has stories similar to yours. Something following her from home to home, and she was always very matter-of-fact about it. She’s someone who I’ve always believed, because why make this stuff up? Anyway if you feel like sharing, I’m here!
