Just in time for Halloween, check the "ghost cam" at The Willard Library:
The library's apparition roams in silence; we're not certain who she is.
Some say it's Louise Carpenter, daughter of the library's founder, Willard Carpenter.

Perhaps, some say, Louise nurses a grudge and haunts the property to this day.
Others disagree. The Grey Lady is not malevolent, as they assume Louise would be. In fact, library employees have come to see the Lady in Grey as another staff member. They know that every so often, they will see the Grey Lady.
