Ghost stories 424 viewsIs the Mattapoisett Library haunted? Some who have worked there think so, and now a few more are believers after another Halloween season paranormal investigation by the ghost hunting group S.P.I.R.I.T.S on October 5. The members had some spooky tales to tell, and the library itself has stacks of scary (and not-so-scary) books to get us into the Halloween spirit. Photo by Jean Perry - October 11, 2018 edition
