Visitors in the Old Library

The Old Willard Library is haunted...really haunted. Be sure to visit the link, read the history and take a look at the many 24 hours "Ghost Cams" located throughout the old library. The Library was also featured on the Television Series :Ghost Hunters".


During the day, the old Willard is a fully functioning library branch and has been so since the 1800's. But at night when the last patron has left, the lights are turned down and the doors are locked...the real inhabitants begin to move about. Over the years, several night watchmen have resigned their posts after encounters with beings now untethered to this earth. The most common occurrences have been with a "Lady in Gray" that seems to roam the library stacks and old oak stairways...often the old stairways begin to creak as something begins to ascend from the basement. Her father was the original owner of the building in the 1800's and he mysteriously cut her out of his inheritance...she now makes the Library her home...a home that was stolen from her so many decades ago.

You might want to revisit the photos again looking for uninvited visitors...you may be surprised at what you find if you look closely. The black and white photo from an old window on the third floor is possibly what the Lady in Gray sees while she roams the old building that has become her prison...possibly the closest she will ever come to being outside the four walls ever again.
