Possible explanations could be the building settling, vibrations from nearby traffic, or echoes from other parts of the building.

Occurrences have been described as books and papers being left out, pages turning, disembodied footsteps, apparitions, various electronics being unplugged or turned on/off, and even staff hearing their names.

The final spirit is that of a young man. Little is known of him as he is rarely encountered, but when he is, visitors find him to be quite conspicuous.

Next is an elderly man in late 19th century garb. Lore describes his attachment to the land, not particularly the building, as he is believed to have died in a duel before the library’s development.

First is an older woman that can be seen roaming the library. She is believed to have been a patron of the library in life. Her appreciation of the facility beckons her spirit to enjoy her favorite past time.

Welcome to our first aloreing coastal destination of the summer: The New Hanover County Public Library. Located in Wilmington, it is believed to be haunted by three spirits.

We're still catching up on a few announcements—and have more exciting news coming soon!—but we're thrilled to continue by introducing you to another fantastic addition to our Cohort 2025!

When she’s not immersed in her work or research, Jana enjoys crafting and spending quality time with her two beloved cats.

#Cohort2025 #TheGhostGuild #WelcomeToTheTeam #ProjectManager #Teacher #Psychologist #SocialReform #Arts #Theatre #VolunteeringIsGood #JoinUs

She firmly believes in the power of second chances and the transformative potential of education and redemption.

Jana holds a degree in Theatre from UNC-Greensboro and both a BA and MA in Forensic Psychology from CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

In addition to her professional work, Jana is passionate about the arts and social justice. In 2015, she directed the first-ever play performed on North Carolina’s Death Row, merging her love for theater with her commitment to rehabilitation and social reform.

Currently, she serves in North Carolina's prison system, coordinating educational and vocational programs across 13 facilities in partnership with community colleges. Originally from Sanford, she has lived in several places, including LA, NYC, Montreal, and Plymouth, England.

This curiosity led her to explore the Parapsychology Lab at Duke University and dive deep into North Carolina’s rich folklore of legends and ghost stories.

With a varied career, Jana has previously worked as an elementary school teacher and a prison psychologist.

Today we start with Jana, whose lifelong fascination with the mysterious and paranormal has been a driving force behind her personal and professional journey. Captivated as a child by the TV show That's Incredible, she wrote her first research paper in junior high on the existence of poltergeists.
