This is so weird.Whenever I was a kid i used to hate going down stairs because it was always so cold. And everytime I got to the bottom of the steps I just got a really eerie feeling.I completely believe this one.

Well, I live in St.Joe and i’ve only been to that library a few times. I agree with Lisa. When I was a kid I never ever wanted to go downstairs because there was this door that I always though I heard someone knocking on. And I could hear people walking out there as well.And it was just a little bit to freaky for me.I still get scared just thinking about it.

You have the wrong library on this posting. It is the Downtown Branch of the St. Joseph Public Library on 10th and Felix Street that you are talking about. It is supposedly haunted by a ghost named Rosy who had been a very dedicated librarian there. She doesn’t say “shh” but she has been heard to walk around at night. There have been many newspaper stories published over the years about the library ghost. How about correcting the library in your listing?

Shauna is partly right. The downtown library is also supposed to be haunted, but the story about Carnegie Library has been told correctly. Like many of you have already recounted, I was also a little freaked out when I went into the basement (children’s area) as a kid. But I never saw or heard anything unusual.

I meant “Saundra” not “Shauna”. Sorry.

Hey well I am only thirteen and have been going to that library for as long as I can remember. It’s a pretty great place, but once, when I was with my best friend Amy, she went upstairs to go get her mom, and I turned around and felt a sudden chill, and I could feel someone watching me very closely. I knew there was a spirit in that children’s section, and my feelings told me that it was a girl. No Joke.

Having worked at this particular library for almost 30 years I have never heard such a story. Like Saundra said I’ve heard stories about the downtown branch being haunted but I’ve never heard any Carnegie related stories.
