I couldn’t let Halloween go by without throwing a little creepiness into things — and yes, you guessed it, it involves haunted libraries! Apparently the Phoenixville Public Library is haunted by a woman in the attic of the 1902 Carnegie designed building. “She’s wearing a bustle dress, a high hat, and having a grand old time” says director John Kelley. Photos taken by the Chester County Paranormal Research Society document the oddities seen by various staff members in different parts of the building.
Want to know if your local library’s made it to the H-List? Check out this listing for some spooktacular times.
