It's no wonder there are ghosts around: nine men were lured to the woods and killed by local Native Americans in 1676. They were skinned alive, beheaded and their heads were placed on stakes! They were buried on the property in "Nine Men's Misery", which is considered the first veteran's memorial in North America. But the grave has been moved and disturbed by grave robbers and vandals. These souls are restless, which may explain the odd sounds and moaning people report hearing and the bizarre temperature fluctuations around the grave site.

When the building was a monastery, many monks passed away on the premises. When the building burned to the ground, the monastery relocated and the bodies were dug up and moved! Could these spirits be the cause of the books moving, opening and closing on their own? Whatever it is, the activity has been spiking in recent weeks, and the staff is worried.

Client Celeste Dyer tells the team that people also report seeing a monk on the stairs. People have also felt presences in the reference area, and hear doors slamming. Oh, and the haunted elevator likes to take visitors to the "off-limits" third floor, even if they push another button. The third floor was the monastic infirmary where several monks died. People have caught full conversations from unseen entities on this floor.

Amy and Adam hear noises coming from a closed bathroom- but there is no one in there! They move forward to investigate, and suddenly the water turns on!

Casual conversation: In the main library, Jason and Steve communicate with a spirit using a vibration detector. They get responses from the entity on command- it's awesome!

Outside, Amy and Adam confirm the claims of odd sounds in the woods- like a screaming sound. What was it?

Two floors, two experiences. Jason and Samantha hear loud scraping noises in the library, while simultaneously Amy and Adam hear a huge banging sound on the first floor. Then Jason and Sam hear the pages of a book turning, just as reported. The claims of odd noises are confirmed, but what is causing all the ruckus?

The EMF reader is going haywire in the monastic garden and cemetery, near the wooden cross that the monks built in the 1950s. The activity increases as Adam reads the names of those who perished in the massacre. The spirit even gets it to 2.0!

After the investigation the crew meets to discuss their experiences. They uncover more evidence while reviewing the footage.

Celeste is floored by the evidence presented to her, and pleased that the team was able to substantiate some of the claims- even if it is a little creepy. It's good to know that they're not crazy! Jason reassures her that there is no reason to feel uneasy, the evidence gathered showed there was no ill-will from these entities.
