Haunted libraries became famous with Ghostbusters. Our heroes investigate disturbances at the New York Public Library and encounter a ghost that tells them to shush.

Surprisingly, this doesn't seem to be so far off the mark if we look at tales of haunted libraries. What stories of ghosts are there from these book-loving spaces of calm?

Let's go ghost-hunting at the Lit & Phil in Newcastle, three libraries in Oxford, the Senate House Library, and Raglan Castle in Wales in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
