Haunted Library Group 1

Haunted Library Group 1

When the lights go down and the library doors are locked, all isn’t as quiet as one may think. Whispers in the darkness, unexplained sights and sounds may appear. On October 18th the Marion County Public Library is opening their doors for a unique Halloween event experience.

You may encounter the ghost of Gertrude McKnight, a devoted strict librarian with an aversion to noise. Legend has it that you can hear her notorious shush and her anger at any unwanted noises.

Friday the 18th also marks the anniversary of the death of Clankers the Clown. Clankers was performing in the children’s room in the early 1950’s when a kid hurled a spit ball at Clankers. The spit ball caused him to lose his balance and collide with a shelf that unfortunately broke loose and crushed Clankers. On this night it is said that Clankers returns to finish his performance and seek revenge on the child who caused his untimely death. Will Clankers make a special appearance this night? Do you dare enter a 108 year old building with a lifetime of hauntings?
