Step inside the Osterhout Free Library, where the whispers of booklovers past still echo through the halls. Built on land with a dark history dating back to the Revolutionary War, this library in the Wilkes-Barre Library District holds more than just books—it holds a haunting legacy. From unexplained voices and shadow figures in the basement to doppelgangers and mysterious laughter on the stairs, the library staff and visitors have encountered a range of paranormal phenomena. Ghostly encounters with spirits responding to investigators, moving books, and making their presence known have been captured during investigations. Join us as we explore the eerie tales of the Osterhout Free Library, where the love of literature is intertwined with the lingering spirits of the past. Listen closely, for you never know who—or what—may be browsing the shelves beside you.
