Haunted Libraries are places of legend, especially with help from the movie Ghost
Busters. In the film, a little librarian lady morphs into a frightening library ghost! Haunted
libraries from that time forward have gradually become known.
In recent years haunted libraries have become popular with ghost investigators, with
Evansville, Indiana's Willard Library becoming very popular by way of the Internet.

We decided to compile a list of Haunted
Libraries within the United States. There are
more ghosts in libraries than one might at
first expect. Most haunted libraries seem
due to either have former librarians
remaining behind after lengthy careers, or
past patrons having undergone some tragic
circumstance. In either case, the legends
are eerie, and the setting fantastic for the
haunting of library ghosts!
May we present our list of haunted libraries:
Haunted Libraries of the World
Haunted Libraries of the NE US
Haunted Libraries of the Mid US
Haunted Libraries of the South
Haunted Libraries of the West

The two videos feature an investigation into a haunted
library of New Jersey known as the Old Bernardsville
Library. The investigators seek to chase down the
tales and stories of the library ghost (or ghosts) that
haunt the building. The original building was built in
1710, with most of the structure being built later.
As haunted libraries go, this one allegedly is haunted
by the ghost of Phyllis Parker, whose ghostly
apparition has been seen by witnesses. She was an
innkeeper's daughter who died in the latter 1700's,
being seen by local police, library staff and patrons.
The library was formerly an old house-turned-tavern.
So, the building has lots of history dating back to the
Revolutionary time era.
The library possibly finds its haunting due to a different
circumstance than most haunted libraries, and that
being its former use might have provided much more
emotional trauma that somehow remained attached to
the building prior to becoming a library.
