Ghostbusters Investigate Mysterious Orb

You see that image to the right? No, it’s not a poorly exposed photo or one that’s been ruined in a flood. Oh, no, my friends, that photo is of a ghost.

Or, rather, an orb. You see, the Phoenixville Library is “haunted,” some say, and so NBC 10 met with Chester County ghostbuster Cindy Starr-Witman to discuss her theories of the haunted stacks. (NBC 10 also capitalizes “Ghostbuster,” as if it were a proper title like “Pope.”)

And what evidence do we have for the haunted Phoenixville Library? Well, it’s pretty simple: We have that orb in the photo, and we have a video of a book mysteriously falling off a shelf without human intervention. If that doesn’t mean there are ghosts in the library, well, then I don’t really know how to convince you. Maybe Starr-Witman can:

“It is definitely something,” says Starr-Witman. “This building is loaded with stuff.” Starr-Witman pointed out that the “orb” was translucent.

“You can see right through it,” Starr-Witman said. Her theory is that the orb represents “an apparition gathering energy in order to come forth.”

Indeed, it is definitely something, that orb. As for the falling book, well, NBC 10 does offer an alternate explanation:

Librarians say the falling books are a common occurrence.

Wait, librarians in Phoenixville or librarians in general? ‘Cuz I can deal with one haunted library — the chances of me ending up in the Phoenixville Library are pretty slim — but if all libraries are haunted, then… whoa. It’s a little tough to get your head around.
