Newcastle's historic Lit & Phil library has 16 ghosts, including phantom librarians, who tell visitors to ssshhh and violently shake the handles of the roller racks. Another ghost is a Roman soldier - the library stands on the route of Hadrian's Wall and bits of the Wall's masonry can be seen in its basement. One of the Lit & Phil's most notorious spooks is a 17th-century witch hunter, said to have sent 220 innocent people to their deaths. The witch finder seems drawn to a Victorian book on witchcraft. #paranormal #gothic #folklore #ghosts #weird #architecture #libraries #books #history
