One of my favourite haunted library stories....

Kukoboi, Yaroslavl’ Region. The birthplace of the Russian witch Baba-Yaga, this village’s library once experienced a ghost, a young girl wearing an antiquated bonnet, after talking to the library staff,asking about where her boss was,she faded away,according to Pravda, August 18, 2004.
  Village Kukoboi in Yaroslavl region is considered as the motherland of Baba-Yaga (witch in Russian folk-tales) for a reason. The Head of a local Recreation Center Tatiana Kruglova says there is still a hut standing on high stubs
resembling chicken’s legs, and in this hut the witch lived. A goblin lives in the local bath-house. People often hear
somebody walking in the bath house, opening taps and moving wash-basins. The former bath house attendant fell
ill after meeting the man, and retired from the job. The local bell-ringer started hearing voices after attending the bath
house. Also, people say that a mermaid lives in the Ukhtoma river. At night somebody laughs and swims there.
Ghosts in village Kukoboi can be encountered even in a local library. The ancient wooden building of the library
was built in the beginning of 20th century. One day a weird girl wearing an ancient bonnet, entered the library and
started telling about her mistress. Then the girl disappeared, and no traces were left on the snow by her.

I love stories about haunted places....where they originate from and why they are haunted.

I love the history of them....no haunting ever takes place without a background to it.

Keep going!

Like some of the haunted library ones.

Keep going.....lol

Doris & Harry Vise Library, Cumberland University
Lebanon, Tennessee
There is a ghost cat that haunts the library. Where it came from and why it is haunting the library is unknown. He may belong to the little girl ghost who also haunts the library, although they have never been seen together. A ghost cat was seen floating across an office floor and disappear among the boxes stored under the table behind a desk.According to Dr. Frank Burns, Cumberland's archivist, we have a ghost of a little girl in the library. He and a former librarian have seen her. She appears to be dressed in white and so far as is known, she has been seen only by these two people. The former librarian would sometimes play peek-a-boo with her around the checkout desk.

Fascinating.....I often wonder why the spirits of folks stay around for so long after physical death....Is it they are bound to the physical earth or some other reason?

Still not figured that out but darn good question.

Any answers from anyone else......why do spirit hang around this awful place when the spirit world is there with all it's beauty?
