Library Ghosts and Technology
At one of the libraries where I work, a co-worker passed along a fascinating link to a haunted library. So why did I categorize this under technology? Check this out.
One library in particular has installed three cameras that are connected to the internet. Yep, you can watch for their ghosts online ’round the clock.
If you see a ghost, you click on the camera image. The image is saved and you can write comments with it. Then the saved image and your caption go into their online collection of ghost pictures.
This was really cool because, as a total scaredy cat myself, I would never ever go near a haunted anything on purpose. Much like I wouldn’t go see a lion in the wild, but in the zoo it’s a different story because I feel more like I’m observing the critter from a safe distance where it is unaware of my presence.
While most of the saved images are shadowy, there were a few that I found truly startling.
Here is a link to their ghost cams: http://www.willardghost.com/index.php?content=ghostcams
And here is a link to one of my favorite ghost images from that library:

Yes, I agree, it is very creepy and yet fascinating at the same time.
