00:00:01,071 --> 00:00:03,638
- My name is Kelly Ferchau.

Downloaded from
YTS.MX
3
00:00:03,638 --> 00:00:05,163
I've worked for the public libraries
4
00:00:05,163 --> 00:00:07,922
of Saginaw for 35 years.
5
00:00:07,922 --> 00:00:10,839
Working in a library as old as this

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
7
00:00:12,293 --> 00:00:15,207
or any building as old as this, I guess,
8
00:00:15,207 --> 00:00:18,837
you always hear about oh, is it haunted?
9
00:00:18,837 --> 00:00:20,250
Are there ghosts?
10
00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:22,917
Do you ever experienced anything
11
00:00:24,285 --> 00:00:25,862
out of the ordinary?
12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,007
Every once in awhile, while
we're looking at old newspapers,
13
00:00:33,007 --> 00:00:36,735
we might read something
where someone actually died
14
00:00:36,735 --> 00:00:40,385
in the library, so you
know, then you think
15
00:00:40,385 --> 00:00:44,217
well, maybe that's that
person's spirit is here.
16
00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:51,711
- I know there are portions of the library
17
00:00:51,711 --> 00:00:54,479
that some of the employees
either try to avoid
18
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:56,709
or absolutely avoid
19
00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:59,895
because they have experienced
paranormal activity
20
00:00:59,895 --> 00:01:02,062
and were very upset by it.
21
00:01:10,458 --> 00:01:13,789
- To me, this is one of the
creepiest areas of the library.
22
00:01:13,789 --> 00:01:17,048
I cannot come down here
without getting goose bumps
23
00:01:17,048 --> 00:01:20,034
on my arms and the back of my neck.
24
00:01:20,034 --> 00:01:23,879
One time I was walking
down one of the aisles
25
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,577
and there was someone in front of me,
26
00:01:26,577 --> 00:01:28,675
no one behind me, and I felt something
27
00:01:28,675 --> 00:01:31,046
tugging on the back of my sweater.
28
00:01:31,046 --> 00:01:33,738
And that is a feeling that
you know what that is.
29
00:01:33,738 --> 00:01:35,553
It couldn't have been anything else.
30
00:01:35,553 --> 00:01:36,891
There was no one there.
31
00:01:36,891 --> 00:01:39,830
I turned around, nothing but darkness.
32
00:01:43,384 --> 00:01:46,301
- Hoyt library has a colorful past.
33
00:01:47,497 --> 00:01:51,360
People talked about some
of the paranormal activity
34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,441
that was happening at Hoyt.
35
00:01:54,441 --> 00:01:57,761
You didn't hear it all the
time, but one of the things
36
00:01:57,761 --> 00:02:00,788
that I heard was that there was a video,
37
00:02:00,788 --> 00:02:04,648
a short clip online from Hoyt library,
38
00:02:04,648 --> 00:02:06,042
of a chair in the basement,
39
00:02:06,042 --> 00:02:07,923
and it was just spinning.
40
00:02:07,923 --> 00:02:10,280
And so I did go out on the
Internet and I looked at that
41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,658
and I was quite amazed by it.
42
00:02:12,658 --> 00:02:15,755
Because at that time I
wasn't terribly interested
43
00:02:15,755 --> 00:02:17,068
the paranormal.
44
00:02:17,068 --> 00:02:20,208
I can't really say that
I believed in ghosts,
45
00:02:20,208 --> 00:02:21,990
but I didn't disbelieve.
46
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:23,284
I'm a believer now.
47
00:02:24,621 --> 00:02:27,183
- Right now, we're headed
into the fiction room.
48
00:02:27,183 --> 00:02:31,055
This originally was the reading room.
49
00:02:31,055 --> 00:02:34,638
I've only heard one
story about there being
50
00:02:35,531 --> 00:02:37,314
an encounter here.
51
00:02:37,314 --> 00:02:41,177
A patron a few years ago
was down here looking
52
00:02:41,177 --> 00:02:42,844
at works of fiction,
53
00:02:43,827 --> 00:02:45,640
and there was a little girl
54
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:47,999
sitting here, a little blond girl,
55
00:02:47,999 --> 00:02:50,434
about four years old.
56
00:02:50,434 --> 00:02:54,367
And all I could think is
that maybe it's a little girl
57
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:56,538
who's waiting for story time.
58
00:02:56,538 --> 00:02:59,889
When this section of the
library was the children's
59
00:02:59,889 --> 00:03:02,623
department, and the
librarian would sit here
60
00:03:02,623 --> 00:03:05,891
on the floor with the children
and read them a story.
61
00:03:15,326 --> 00:03:17,993
- The area that we're in now
is called the tech attic.
62
00:03:17,993 --> 00:03:20,534
This is really a storage
area for the library.
63
00:03:20,534 --> 00:03:23,201
This is probably the most active
64
00:03:25,826 --> 00:03:29,866
and most disturbing of all
the places in the library
65
00:03:29,866 --> 00:03:32,721
where people have experienced
some kind of haunting.
66
00:03:32,721 --> 00:03:36,247
This particular room has
had everything happen
67
00:03:36,247 --> 00:03:39,993
from books moving by
themselves on the shelf,
68
00:03:39,993 --> 00:03:43,276
footsteps that sound like
someone with hobnail shoes
69
00:03:43,276 --> 00:03:46,140
walking around, when
there's no one in the room,
70
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:49,775
to lights being messed around with,
71
00:03:49,775 --> 00:03:51,423
turned on, turned off.
72
00:03:51,423 --> 00:03:53,667
When you hit the switch,
the lights go on one way,
73
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:56,715
and then they go off, and
the only other light switch
74
00:03:56,715 --> 00:03:59,484
is at the bottom of the stairs.
75
00:03:59,484 --> 00:04:00,860
- When was the
last time that happened?
76
00:04:00,860 --> 00:04:04,280
- Just now, actually, when
we came in the room.
77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,980
Yeah, I'm a little bit
creeped out by it right now.
78
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:11,555
- This the Michigan room.
79
00:04:11,555 --> 00:04:14,100
Several people who work here
80
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:16,076
don't like going into this room.
81
00:04:16,076 --> 00:04:18,546
In 2010, I was here.
82
00:04:18,546 --> 00:04:19,938
It was late at night.
83
00:04:19,938 --> 00:04:22,493
The library was about ready to close,
84
00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:25,322
and I was working at the desk.
85
00:04:25,322 --> 00:04:27,655
I looked up and going across
86
00:04:29,297 --> 00:04:30,858
inside the room
87
00:04:30,858 --> 00:04:33,525
was the shadow figure of a woman
88
00:04:34,433 --> 00:04:35,861
in a long dress.
89
00:04:35,861 --> 00:04:39,310
She just went from this side to that side
90
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:41,393
and that's all there was.
91
00:04:43,485 --> 00:04:45,129
Here on the grand staircase
92
00:04:45,129 --> 00:04:49,520
when I leave at night and
other people leave at night
93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,973
we always had a feeling that somebody is
94
00:04:52,973 --> 00:04:54,473
up on the landing,
95
00:04:56,327 --> 00:04:58,524
just staring at us,
96
00:04:58,524 --> 00:05:00,330
waiting for us to leave.
97
00:05:00,330 --> 00:05:01,966
And I never look back
98
00:05:01,966 --> 00:05:03,998
and I never look at the window,
99
00:05:03,998 --> 00:05:06,228
just in case there's a reflection.
100
00:05:06,228 --> 00:05:10,288
We always get this feeling
that we, the living,
101
00:05:10,288 --> 00:05:13,197
we have the building during the day
102
00:05:13,197 --> 00:05:15,642
and there's like a shift change when
103
00:05:15,642 --> 00:05:17,612
we close the building at night.
104
00:05:17,612 --> 00:05:21,122
And sometimes I think they're a little bit
105
00:05:21,122 --> 00:05:24,436
more anxious to get the
building to themselves
106
00:05:24,436 --> 00:05:27,263
and you just feel it when
I walk down the stairs
107
00:05:27,263 --> 00:05:30,765
that it's time for us all to leave.
108
00:05:44,285 --> 00:05:46,816
- One of the things that
I find so fascinating
109
00:05:46,816 --> 00:05:49,192
about this location specifically
110
00:05:49,192 --> 00:05:51,049
is how many different spirits are said
111
00:05:51,049 --> 00:05:52,593
to haunt the Hoyt library.
112
00:05:52,593 --> 00:05:55,588
How many different apparitions
have been identified.
113
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:58,482
And one has to wonder, how
could there be so many ghosts
114
00:05:58,482 --> 00:06:01,813
trapped within the walls
of one building like that.
115
00:06:01,813 --> 00:06:03,436
What's the cause of that?
116
00:06:03,436 --> 00:06:05,380
And one of the theories I have is
117
00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:07,669
you gotta consider multiple things.
118
00:06:07,669 --> 00:06:09,894
The land that the Hoyt was built on
119
00:06:09,894 --> 00:06:12,019
at one point used to be a jail
120
00:06:12,019 --> 00:06:14,119
where many people were murdered violently
121
00:06:14,119 --> 00:06:15,442
in the 1800s.
122
00:06:15,442 --> 00:06:17,621
On top of that, people have died here
123
00:06:17,621 --> 00:06:19,553
since it's been a library, so you've got
124
00:06:19,553 --> 00:06:21,081
to wonder if that plays a part.
125
00:06:21,081 --> 00:06:24,591
And it's also a theory that
spirits can be attached
126
00:06:24,591 --> 00:06:27,123
to certain objects, and the Hoyt
127
00:06:27,123 --> 00:06:28,850
has one of the biggest collections,
128
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:31,486
if not the biggest
collection of Saginaw history
129
00:06:31,486 --> 00:06:33,053
and Saginaw's past.
130
00:06:33,053 --> 00:06:36,351
So all of this together
could really account for why
131
00:06:36,351 --> 00:06:37,753
there's been so many different things
132
00:06:37,753 --> 00:06:39,283
seen within this building.
133
00:06:39,283 --> 00:06:41,468
We just want to find the answers.
134
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:44,107
We want to document and get some evidence.
135
00:06:44,107 --> 00:06:46,265
- The hard drives on all
the digital recorders
136
00:06:46,265 --> 00:06:47,955
have been wiped clean.
137
00:06:47,955 --> 00:06:49,555
We're ready to record all night.
138
00:06:49,555 --> 00:06:51,644
We've got fully charged infrared lights
139
00:06:51,644 --> 00:06:54,045
and fresh batteries in
all the rest of the gear.
140
00:06:54,045 --> 00:06:56,196
The tripod cameras have been set up.
141
00:06:56,196 --> 00:06:58,031
And that's actually one
of the biggest challenges
142
00:06:58,031 --> 00:07:00,092
that we have this evening
is the building itself
143
00:07:00,092 --> 00:07:03,509
is so large, we have more
rooms than we have cameras.
144
00:07:03,509 --> 00:07:06,745
But we've got the live
feed broadcasting in here.
145
00:07:06,745 --> 00:07:09,292
And with all the stories that we've heard
146
00:07:09,292 --> 00:07:11,504
about this building, with
all the history behind it,
147
00:07:11,504 --> 00:07:13,312
I know it's gonna be a good investigation.
148
00:07:13,312 --> 00:07:15,238
I'm ready to go.
149
00:07:15,238 --> 00:07:17,613
- Looking at this picture, I can imagine
150
00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:19,353
the amount of blood, sweat, and tears
151
00:07:19,353 --> 00:07:21,385
that went into creating this building.
152
00:07:21,385 --> 00:07:24,320
Especially when you get
into all these little
153
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,987
detailed carvings in the archway
154
00:07:27,924 --> 00:07:31,015
and all on the exterior of this building.
155
00:07:31,015 --> 00:07:34,483
Kind of makes you wonder
if any of these gentlemen
156
00:07:34,483 --> 00:07:37,469
have returned and they're the source
157
00:07:37,469 --> 00:07:39,826
of the paranormal activity that
158
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:43,146
the staff here at the
library are experiencing.
159
00:07:43,146 --> 00:07:45,600
- I'm really excited
about this investigation.
160
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,492
I've heard rumors that this
place is haunted for years.
161
00:07:49,492 --> 00:07:51,670
Read all kinds of articles in the paper.
162
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:53,834
Heard all kinds of stories.
163
00:07:53,834 --> 00:07:57,129
We've got employees who have
given us eyewitness claims.
164
00:07:57,129 --> 00:08:00,129
We just want to validate
those on both audio and video.
165
00:08:00,129 --> 00:08:02,172
We owe it to them.
166
00:08:02,172 --> 00:08:04,243
One of the things that's
most exciting about this is
167
00:08:04,243 --> 00:08:05,807
we've never had a place
where there's so many
168
00:08:05,807 --> 00:08:07,796
professional people who've come forward
169
00:08:07,796 --> 00:08:10,054
and stake their reputation
on the stories that
170
00:08:10,054 --> 00:08:13,172
they're telling us, being
in our documentary and all.
171
00:08:13,172 --> 00:08:15,696
I can't wait to see what we find.
172
00:08:24,495 --> 00:08:26,136
- Alright, guys, this is
one of the biggest places
173
00:08:26,136 --> 00:08:27,720
we've ever investigated.
174
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,076
Thousands of square feet, multiple floors,
175
00:08:30,076 --> 00:08:31,759
and dozens of different rooms.
176
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,304
The only possible way
that we're gonna cover
177
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:35,256
all this ground before the sun comes up,
178
00:08:35,256 --> 00:08:37,437
we all need to split
up and go our own way.
179
00:08:37,437 --> 00:08:38,270
Just be cautious.
180
00:08:38,270 --> 00:08:40,111
Be careful walking
around here in the dark.
181
00:08:40,111 --> 00:08:41,794
Stay in radio communication.
182
00:08:41,794 --> 00:08:42,850
Now, this is important.
183
00:08:42,850 --> 00:08:45,364
Severe thunderstorm warnings
have been issued for tonight.
184
00:08:45,364 --> 00:08:47,254
There's warnings all
over the radio and TV.
185
00:08:47,254 --> 00:08:49,718
We all know that thunderstorms
cause a huge spike
186
00:08:49,718 --> 00:08:51,380
in the electromagnetic field,
187
00:08:51,380 --> 00:08:53,437
giving spirits more energy to manifest.
188
00:08:53,437 --> 00:08:55,432
Alright, that being said,
we're all geared up.
189
00:08:55,432 --> 00:08:57,155
We've got the guys on the monitors here.
190
00:08:57,155 --> 00:08:58,397
I'm ready to go.
191
00:08:58,397 --> 00:08:59,230
You ready?
192
00:08:59,230 --> 00:09:00,063
- Good.
193
00:09:00,063 --> 00:09:00,896
- Tim?
194
00:09:00,896 --> 00:09:01,729
Josh?
- Ready.
195
00:09:01,729 --> 00:09:02,562
- Alright, let's go.
196
00:09:02,562 --> 00:09:04,070
Hoyt Library investigation.
197
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:04,903
Let's do it.
198
00:09:57,471 --> 00:09:59,112
- This is Tim.
199
00:09:59,112 --> 00:10:01,529
EVP session on the mezzanine.
200
00:10:03,724 --> 00:10:06,459
Do you enjoy seeing
people come through here?
201
00:10:06,459 --> 00:10:09,376
Remind you of when you worked here?
202
00:10:10,437 --> 00:10:13,937
Or remind you of when you frequented here?
203
00:10:17,822 --> 00:10:20,885
I gotta say, this is a
pretty cool building.
204
00:10:20,885 --> 00:10:23,822
A lot of photographs in here.
205
00:10:23,822 --> 00:10:26,583
Lots of generations
have been through here.
206
00:10:26,583 --> 00:10:30,177
- The reports of activity in
this vicinity of the building
207
00:10:30,177 --> 00:10:31,844
is that an angry man
208
00:10:33,077 --> 00:10:36,389
has been sighted on this staircase
209
00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:38,734
and up on the landing as well.
210
00:10:38,734 --> 00:10:40,916
They say that they hear his boots
211
00:10:40,916 --> 00:10:43,000
stomping up and down the stairs,
212
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,875
just really heavy footsteps
213
00:10:44,875 --> 00:10:47,329
and they get a negative vibe
214
00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:51,001
and just kind of feel
unwanted in this area
215
00:10:51,001 --> 00:10:52,321
when he's around.
216
00:10:52,321 --> 00:10:54,039
So let's try and establish contact
217
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,483
and figure out what's happening here.
218
00:11:36,299 --> 00:11:37,857
- Hello?
219
00:11:52,027 --> 00:11:54,906
Is there anyone down here with me?
220
00:11:54,906 --> 00:11:59,135
- I can only imagine how
lonely it would be in here,
221
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:01,385
year after year, wandering.
222
00:12:08,141 --> 00:12:09,974
Maybe you're confused.
223
00:12:11,962 --> 00:12:14,479
Maybe you don't realize
224
00:12:14,479 --> 00:12:16,312
that you're in a cycle
225
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:19,905
of day after day.
226
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:25,472
I couldn't imagine that.
227
00:12:25,472 --> 00:12:29,339
- People that have to use this stairwell
228
00:12:29,339 --> 00:12:32,589
have complained that you make them feel
229
00:12:34,371 --> 00:12:35,788
nervous, anxious,
230
00:12:38,704 --> 00:12:40,704
and flat out frightened.
231
00:12:44,016 --> 00:12:45,588
Being that they work here
232
00:12:45,588 --> 00:12:48,245
and that they have to use these stairs,
233
00:12:48,245 --> 00:12:51,162
you can see where that's a problem.
234
00:12:55,381 --> 00:13:00,048
Some of them like to
refer to you as the bully.
235
00:13:00,048 --> 00:13:03,798
They say that you make
them feel intimidated.
236
00:13:05,217 --> 00:13:08,384
So I'm not going to label you that way
237
00:13:12,090 --> 00:13:15,891
until I have some kind
of interaction with you.
238
00:13:15,891 --> 00:13:17,610
And at the same time,
I do want to tell you
239
00:13:17,610 --> 00:13:20,851
that you're not gonna
bully me off these stairs.
240
00:13:20,851 --> 00:13:23,127
- Heard a lot about this room.
241
00:13:34,655 --> 00:13:36,572
Tools get moved around.
242
00:13:50,907 --> 00:13:52,869
Are you working on something?
243
00:14:06,437 --> 00:14:08,437
- Are you playing games?
244
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:12,351
I enjoy games.
245
00:14:19,035 --> 00:14:19,868
Okay.
246
00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:26,098
- They say by the period-type
clothing they've seen you in
247
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:27,683
and the heavy boots, they feel like
248
00:14:27,683 --> 00:14:29,170
you're one of the older spirits here
249
00:14:29,170 --> 00:14:30,837
at the Hoyt Library.
250
00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:34,982
That being said, you
probably have more of a right
251
00:14:34,982 --> 00:14:36,482
to be here than I,
252
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,054
so if I seem confrontational
253
00:14:41,054 --> 00:14:45,399
it's only because I want
to maybe provoke you
254
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:46,399
to come out.
255
00:14:51,794 --> 00:14:55,961
Do you like having the
reputation of being a creeper?
256
00:15:27,214 --> 00:15:29,357
- That was creepy.
257
00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:21,059
- This is the microfiche room.
258
00:16:21,059 --> 00:16:24,815
What microfiche is is an archival system
259
00:16:24,815 --> 00:16:28,098
that was developed for
documenting and chronicling
260
00:16:28,098 --> 00:16:31,515
newspapers from the last century on film.
261
00:16:33,003 --> 00:16:37,510
People can use it to do
research on their family,
262
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:41,677
burial plots, obituaries,
and things of that nature.
263
00:16:43,435 --> 00:16:47,275
This is one of the most active
rooms in the entire library.
264
00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:51,027
In fact, one year during
their annual fundraiser,
265
00:16:51,027 --> 00:16:53,186
A Haunting at the Hoyt,
266
00:16:53,186 --> 00:16:56,190
there was a tour that came through
267
00:16:56,190 --> 00:16:58,731
and the tour guide
brought a group in here.
268
00:16:58,731 --> 00:17:00,387
And while he was describing to them
269
00:17:00,387 --> 00:17:02,529
some of the activity that would happen,
270
00:17:02,529 --> 00:17:05,868
sure enough, computers started turning on,
271
00:17:05,868 --> 00:17:08,764
electronics went haywire.
272
00:17:08,764 --> 00:17:12,296
And the people in the
group got so frightened,
273
00:17:12,296 --> 00:17:16,463
they left the room, got in
their cars, and went home.
274
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:22,021
- The people that work
down here have told us
275
00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:26,143
they know you're here.
276
00:17:26,143 --> 00:17:27,893
That somebody's here.
277
00:17:30,812 --> 00:17:34,181
They feel that you're always
standing right behind them
278
00:17:34,181 --> 00:17:36,014
while they're working.
279
00:17:38,218 --> 00:17:42,385
Even walking behind them as
they travel through this space.
280
00:17:49,660 --> 00:17:51,869
They'd like us to try
and obtain some answers
281
00:17:51,869 --> 00:17:55,536
on who you are, what
you're doing down here.
282
00:17:57,015 --> 00:18:01,145
- Librarians have stated
that they can hear
283
00:18:01,145 --> 00:18:03,155
floorboards creaking up here when they're
284
00:18:03,155 --> 00:18:06,488
getting ready to close down for the day,
285
00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:13,690
almost as if someone is
pacing back an forth.
286
00:18:19,677 --> 00:18:24,104
Some have even said they've
heard a female voice.
287
00:18:26,282 --> 00:18:29,699
- I'm here to document some of the claims
288
00:18:33,355 --> 00:18:36,022
that I've heard about this room.
289
00:18:39,914 --> 00:18:41,664
Computers turning on.
290
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:46,957
Screens being activated.
291
00:18:52,430 --> 00:18:54,513
Pretty outrageous claims.
292
00:18:56,949 --> 00:18:59,843
But if you could do that for me tonight,
293
00:18:59,843 --> 00:19:01,926
that'd be pretty special.
294
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:08,167
Could you move something for me?
295
00:19:10,054 --> 00:19:12,541
- Do you like the employees down here?
296
00:19:16,435 --> 00:19:21,094
Or perhaps maybe you feel
like this is your space
297
00:19:21,094 --> 00:19:25,201
and you don't like them being down here?
298
00:19:30,032 --> 00:19:31,632
You know, I've got a feeling
you've been here a lot
299
00:19:31,632 --> 00:19:35,799
longer than all these computers
and all this technology.
300
00:19:37,603 --> 00:19:39,186
If you could try to
301
00:19:41,731 --> 00:19:43,425
tell me what this portion of the basement
302
00:19:43,425 --> 00:19:45,008
used to be used for
303
00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:47,736
or why it's important to you,
304
00:19:47,736 --> 00:19:50,236
that could help tell us a lot.
305
00:19:51,425 --> 00:19:54,918
Maybe resolve a conflict,
if indeed there is one.
306
00:19:54,918 --> 00:19:59,492
- Maybe you can tell me why
you're pacing back and forth.
307
00:20:07,042 --> 00:20:09,375
Are you waiting for someone?
308
00:20:12,046 --> 00:20:13,129
Or something?
309
00:20:16,493 --> 00:20:18,580
- Upon the initial
review of this footage,
310
00:20:18,580 --> 00:20:20,091
we believed the flickering lights
311
00:20:20,091 --> 00:20:22,687
to be lightning from the storm outside.
312
00:20:22,687 --> 00:20:24,910
Taking a second look,
we realized something
313
00:20:24,910 --> 00:20:26,598
was actually tampering with the lights
314
00:20:26,598 --> 00:20:29,125
in the fiction room down below.
315
00:20:29,125 --> 00:20:32,162
Observe the slow motion replay.
316
00:20:42,352 --> 00:20:45,032
- You know, one thing I
gotta point out here is,
317
00:20:45,032 --> 00:20:47,279
especially looking at this tower,
318
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:50,392
there's a lot of high voltage
electronics down here.
319
00:20:50,392 --> 00:20:54,392
And side effects of a high
EMF field such as this
320
00:20:54,392 --> 00:20:57,347
is paranoia, feeling of being watched,
321
00:20:57,347 --> 00:21:00,253
and if you're supersensitive
to it, even nausea.
322
00:21:00,253 --> 00:21:03,504
So if you're down here putting
in eight, nine hour shifts
323
00:21:03,504 --> 00:21:08,032
five, six days a week, it could
probably be pretty intense.
324
00:21:08,032 --> 00:21:11,365
That could describe why they feel that way
325
00:21:11,365 --> 00:21:14,532
or why I feel that way right now even.
326
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:20,033
But on the other hand,
there's definitely--
327
00:21:49,478 --> 00:21:50,895
You getting this?
328
00:23:19,936 --> 00:23:23,254
- This is Prozak now
entering the fiction room.
329
00:23:29,038 --> 00:23:31,788
Stormy Weather, tell me about it.
330
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,236
So, as I said, this is now
known as the fiction room,
331
00:23:51,236 --> 00:23:53,761
but nearly 100 years
ago, this was referred to
332
00:23:53,761 --> 00:23:55,680
as the children's section.
333
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,503
Over here by the fireplace,
you'd have a teacher
334
00:23:59,503 --> 00:24:02,887
or possibly a librarian
who would be over here
335
00:24:02,887 --> 00:24:05,240
reading stories to a
small group of children
336
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,741
who would be gathered over here
337
00:24:07,741 --> 00:24:09,958
in front of the fireplace,
338
00:24:09,958 --> 00:24:13,278
listening to stories and playing games.
339
00:24:13,278 --> 00:24:16,018
How that really correlates to modern day
340
00:24:16,018 --> 00:24:19,451
is employees will swear
they hear giggling,
341
00:24:19,451 --> 00:24:22,051
laughter, they'll hear little
feet running up and down
342
00:24:22,051 --> 00:24:24,489
the aisles here when
they're about to close.
343
00:24:24,489 --> 00:24:27,391
And an apparition of a
little girl in a white dress
344
00:24:27,391 --> 00:24:31,859
has been seen by dozens of
employees over the decades.
345
00:24:31,859 --> 00:24:34,691
Let's see if we can make contact.
346
00:24:39,964 --> 00:24:41,899
- We got a motion
detector going off in the
347
00:24:41,899 --> 00:24:43,988
government documents room, let's go.
348
00:25:02,905 --> 00:25:05,155
Nothing looks out of place.
349
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,050
I don't see any books that have fallen.
350
00:25:20,932 --> 00:25:23,078
Something must have crossed
in front of that beam
351
00:25:23,078 --> 00:25:24,655
to set off the alarm.
352
00:25:44,422 --> 00:25:47,922
It looks like someone was a little curious
353
00:25:50,841 --> 00:25:52,551
about this device that was set up
354
00:25:52,551 --> 00:25:55,468
by one of our team members earlier.
355
00:25:58,144 --> 00:26:02,311
I imagine it must have
startled you when it went off.
356
00:26:14,742 --> 00:26:15,992
Let's reset it.
357
00:26:19,103 --> 00:26:21,322
- You're probably wondering
who the big stranger is
358
00:26:21,322 --> 00:26:24,239
here shining a bright light around.
359
00:26:27,767 --> 00:26:32,061
I don't mean to shine it
in your face, if I am.
360
00:26:32,061 --> 00:26:34,394
Then again, I can't see you.
361
00:26:41,013 --> 00:26:45,180
Can you tell me what stories
used to be read here?
362
00:26:46,113 --> 00:26:49,678
And in front of the old fireplace?
363
00:26:49,678 --> 00:26:52,511
Maybe what your favorite book was?
364
00:26:59,137 --> 00:27:02,887
What kind of games did
you guys used to play?
365
00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:06,277
It's a pretty big room.
366
00:27:06,277 --> 00:27:09,694
It'd be perfect for a good
ole game of hide-and-seek.
367
00:27:20,207 --> 00:27:24,374
I feel like we've been playing
hide and seek all night.
368
00:27:27,298 --> 00:27:28,548
Door over here.
369
00:27:32,226 --> 00:27:33,559
I tell you what.
370
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,623
We can play a game.
371
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:41,743
I'm gonna knock on something
372
00:27:43,468 --> 00:27:45,544
and if one of you can knock back,
373
00:27:45,544 --> 00:27:48,405
I've got a present here on my shoulder
374
00:27:48,405 --> 00:27:51,480
that I'll leave for you guys to play with.
375
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,313
Sound fun?
376
00:27:54,976 --> 00:27:55,809
Let's try it.
377
00:27:55,809 --> 00:27:57,727
I'm gonna knock.
378
00:27:57,727 --> 00:28:00,266
If you can knock back,
379
00:28:00,266 --> 00:28:02,433
I'm gonna leave this gift.
380
00:28:09,925 --> 00:28:11,758
- Are you avoiding me?
381
00:28:40,568 --> 00:28:41,401
- Come on.
382
00:28:42,690 --> 00:28:45,858
You know, just before
we came in this room,
383
00:28:45,858 --> 00:28:50,322
I was grabbing my flashlight
here and my recorder
384
00:28:50,322 --> 00:28:53,590
to come in here and we heard little feet
385
00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:56,068
running through the room,
386
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:59,114
much like many of the people
at the Hoyt have heard,
387
00:28:59,114 --> 00:29:01,614
so we know somebody's in here.
388
00:29:03,238 --> 00:29:05,738
I'm gonna knock one more time.
389
00:29:06,781 --> 00:29:08,897
If you knock back, like I said,
390
00:29:08,897 --> 00:29:11,671
I'm gonna give you a present, okay?
391
00:29:11,671 --> 00:29:12,607
I promise.
392
00:29:12,607 --> 00:29:14,624
It's toy, you'll love it.
393
00:29:14,624 --> 00:29:16,874
Let's try it one more time.
394
00:29:25,016 --> 00:29:29,183
- Is there something about
this book in particular
395
00:29:35,828 --> 00:29:37,995
that you wanted me to see?
396
00:29:42,101 --> 00:29:45,600
Maybe
397
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,850
you're just trying to get my attention.
398
00:30:15,201 --> 00:30:16,034
Really?
399
00:30:26,602 --> 00:30:27,523
- You guys must not want--
400
00:30:53,661 --> 00:30:54,494
Okay.
401
00:30:59,143 --> 00:31:02,560
So maybe we are playing hide-and-go-seek.
402
00:31:06,012 --> 00:31:08,429
Can you do that one more time
403
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:14,743
so I can tell where it's coming from?
404
00:31:34,925 --> 00:31:37,305
The childlike laugh had
actually startled me.
405
00:31:37,305 --> 00:31:39,206
Catching the audio evidence solidified
406
00:31:39,206 --> 00:31:41,348
that there was indeed a spirit interacting
407
00:31:41,348 --> 00:31:43,242
with me in the fiction room.
408
00:31:43,242 --> 00:31:44,927
Perhaps this was the infamous little girl
409
00:31:44,927 --> 00:31:49,094
in the white dress seen by
staff and patrons alike.
410
00:31:57,933 --> 00:32:00,823
Okay, well, a deal's a deal.
411
00:32:00,823 --> 00:32:01,823
As promised,
412
00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:07,140
I got a gift
413
00:32:10,570 --> 00:32:14,153
that I'm gonna leave
over by the fireplace.
414
00:32:16,936 --> 00:32:18,454
I'm not sure who's knocking, but if it's
415
00:32:18,454 --> 00:32:20,512
the little girl in the white dress,
416
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:27,210
I think I have something real special.
417
00:32:32,333 --> 00:32:37,019
I have a little girl in a
white dress here in my hand.
418
00:32:37,019 --> 00:32:39,342
She's over 100 years old.
419
00:32:41,469 --> 00:32:44,138
The only problem is I don't have a name
420
00:32:44,138 --> 00:32:45,199
picked out for her.
421
00:32:45,199 --> 00:32:47,504
She didn't come with one.
422
00:32:47,504 --> 00:32:49,465
So I'm gonna leave this here
423
00:32:56,108 --> 00:32:58,767
and feel free to come play with her
424
00:32:58,767 --> 00:33:01,119
or whatever you'd like to do.
425
00:34:51,206 --> 00:34:54,446
This is Prozak entering the local history
426
00:34:54,446 --> 00:34:56,529
and genealogy department.
427
00:34:57,731 --> 00:35:00,447
So, this is one of the
most active portions
428
00:35:00,447 --> 00:35:02,463
of the library upstairs here.
429
00:35:02,463 --> 00:35:05,463
There's been reports of
an apparition by many
430
00:35:05,463 --> 00:35:07,379
that is said to haunt this location.
431
00:35:07,379 --> 00:35:09,630
As well as many stories
of many paranormal events
432
00:35:09,630 --> 00:35:11,926
that have taken place.
433
00:35:11,926 --> 00:35:13,212
Let's see what we can find.
434
00:35:22,219 --> 00:35:24,416
So this is probably my favorite story
435
00:35:24,416 --> 00:35:27,337
that I've heard about
this building, period.
436
00:35:27,337 --> 00:35:29,800
They were doing some
renovations and they had
437
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,722
an electrician come in to
install some wire in here.
438
00:35:33,722 --> 00:35:36,367
And as the electrician
stuck his hand in the hole
439
00:35:36,367 --> 00:35:39,836
to connect these wires,
he felt an ice cold hand
440
00:35:39,836 --> 00:35:42,576
grab his and just squeeze it.
441
00:35:42,576 --> 00:35:45,450
The man screamed, threw his tools,
442
00:35:45,450 --> 00:35:48,669
and just ran out of the building.
443
00:36:02,087 --> 00:36:04,540
- I'm here to establish contact
444
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:08,202
with the man who's said to
haunt this wing of the library.
445
00:36:17,361 --> 00:36:19,679
The staff described you
as a very well-dressed man
446
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:21,053
in a suit.
447
00:36:29,824 --> 00:36:31,657
Are you the architect?
448
00:36:33,265 --> 00:36:35,598
Or the designer of the Hoyt?
449
00:36:36,692 --> 00:36:40,156
- I'm told there's an apparition
450
00:36:40,156 --> 00:36:43,028
that dwells up here that's referred to as
451
00:36:43,028 --> 00:36:44,861
the helpful librarian.
452
00:36:53,823 --> 00:36:56,555
The patrons of the Hoyt
Library will come up here
453
00:36:56,555 --> 00:36:59,888
to research or perhaps work on a project
454
00:37:01,374 --> 00:37:03,096
and on the way out, they'd like to thank
455
00:37:03,096 --> 00:37:06,596
the old woman who was so helpful and nice.
456
00:37:10,124 --> 00:37:13,237
The only problem with
this is there is no woman
457
00:37:13,237 --> 00:37:14,820
that works up here.
458
00:37:22,212 --> 00:37:26,630
So I'd like to ask you if
you could perhaps help me.
459
00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:31,588
Me and my friends are working
on a project ourselves
460
00:37:31,588 --> 00:37:35,054
about the strange and
unusual things that happen
461
00:37:35,054 --> 00:37:37,471
at the historic Hoyt Library.
462
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:42,807
- You can answer some questions for me.
463
00:37:43,814 --> 00:37:47,981
Maybe help me and the staff
better understand who you are,
464
00:37:48,825 --> 00:37:50,492
what draws you here.
465
00:38:07,713 --> 00:38:09,880
Is that you in the corner?
466
00:38:20,523 --> 00:38:23,190
You don't have to be frightened.
467
00:38:26,274 --> 00:38:28,691
I'm not trying to corner you.
468
00:38:36,425 --> 00:38:39,258
Come toward the sound of my voice.
469
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:51,500
Or maybe come take a seat
470
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:53,925
and the two of us could--
471
00:39:01,150 --> 00:39:01,983
Dude!
472
00:39:05,956 --> 00:39:07,201
- Nobody was in the auditorium
473
00:39:07,201 --> 00:39:09,423
except Tim and the cameraman.
474
00:39:09,423 --> 00:39:11,555
Recall Tim sliding the
chair out from the desk
475
00:39:11,555 --> 00:39:13,903
upon entering and facing
it toward the room
476
00:39:13,903 --> 00:39:16,241
before conducting his EVP session.
477
00:39:19,986 --> 00:39:22,297
When he turns back to his
seat, he is astonished
478
00:39:22,297 --> 00:39:24,702
to find it returned to its original place.
479
00:39:36,125 --> 00:39:38,358
- Jesse Hoyt was president
480
00:39:38,358 --> 00:39:40,789
of the Pere Marquette Railroad
481
00:39:40,789 --> 00:39:44,690
for eight years, until he passed away.
482
00:39:44,690 --> 00:39:48,773
That's better known as
the Potter Street Station.
483
00:39:51,336 --> 00:39:53,197
I know it's late.
484
00:39:53,197 --> 00:39:54,614
It's after hours.
485
00:39:57,285 --> 00:40:01,452
But I could sure use some
advice or some direction.
486
00:40:07,876 --> 00:40:11,442
Where might I search in this
building for the answers
487
00:40:11,442 --> 00:40:15,609
that myself, my team, and
the staff are looking for?
488
00:40:19,143 --> 00:40:19,976
CK Eddy,
489
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:27,187
very prominent member of
early Saginaw society.
490
00:40:38,787 --> 00:40:41,755
This room is dedicated to the memory
491
00:40:41,755 --> 00:40:43,517
of Harriet Hough Ames,
492
00:40:43,517 --> 00:40:46,850
the first librarian of the Hoyt Library.
493
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,950
Harriet, is that you?
494
00:41:00,255 --> 00:41:03,422
Are you in fact the helpful librarian?
495
00:41:10,558 --> 00:41:13,080
I apologize for making assumptions.
496
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,663
If that's not your
name, please correct me.
497
00:41:27,893 --> 00:41:29,386
Did you hear that?
498
00:41:30,699 --> 00:41:33,368
It seems my talking aloud
had disgruntled the spirit
499
00:41:33,368 --> 00:41:36,101
that is said to haunt the
history and genealogy department
500
00:41:36,101 --> 00:41:37,768
of the Hoyt Library.
501
00:43:02,169 --> 00:43:03,002
This is crazy.
502
00:43:03,002 --> 00:43:04,682
- Yeah.
503
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:07,126
- I mean, I expected a lot
of of the Hoyt Library,
504
00:43:07,126 --> 00:43:10,750
but I cannot believe how much
evidence we've already caught.
505
00:43:10,750 --> 00:43:14,726
I don't know if it's
the storm or what it is.
506
00:43:14,726 --> 00:43:16,452
So I called you up here because I want
507
00:43:16,452 --> 00:43:17,985
to send you up to the attic.
508
00:43:17,985 --> 00:43:18,818
- Okay.
509
00:43:18,818 --> 00:43:21,323
- Okay, now the attic
has been virtually untouched
510
00:43:21,323 --> 00:43:23,106
for the last 125 years.
511
00:43:23,106 --> 00:43:23,939
- Perfect.
512
00:43:23,939 --> 00:43:26,700
- So therefore,
if there are spirits
513
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:28,024
in that part of the building, they're not
514
00:43:28,024 --> 00:43:31,178
used to people walking around
and going through there.
515
00:43:31,178 --> 00:43:34,338
So really dig in that attic
and go in all the nooks
516
00:43:34,338 --> 00:43:36,848
and crannies and see what
you can kick loose up there.
517
00:43:36,848 --> 00:43:37,681
- Definitely.
518
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:40,101
- Also, that being said,
be careful up there.
519
00:43:40,101 --> 00:43:42,188
Because I'm not sure about
how it is structurally.
520
00:43:42,188 --> 00:43:43,446
I'm gonna head down into the basement
521
00:43:43,446 --> 00:43:44,490
into the archive.
522
00:43:44,490 --> 00:43:46,069
That's where all the things
are collected and stored
523
00:43:46,069 --> 00:43:48,440
here at the Hoyt, and for
that reason I feel like
524
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,793
who knows what I might encounter?
525
00:43:50,793 --> 00:43:53,222
But keep in contact with me on the radio,
526
00:43:53,222 --> 00:43:54,528
let me know how it is,
527
00:43:54,528 --> 00:43:55,593
and let's keep it going.
528
00:43:55,593 --> 00:43:57,536
- Let's do it.
529
00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:33,964
- So we're down to the archives right now.
530
00:44:33,964 --> 00:44:37,261
This is the most feared
location in the Hoyt Library.
531
00:44:37,261 --> 00:44:38,887
Employees will make almost any excuse
532
00:44:38,887 --> 00:44:41,778
to not come down here for any reason.
533
00:44:41,778 --> 00:44:44,755
Could be attributed to the old
relics that were stored here,
534
00:44:44,755 --> 00:44:46,795
the oldest things that the
Hoyt has in their collection
535
00:44:46,795 --> 00:44:50,673
is stored here, a lot of
things symbolic to death.
536
00:44:50,673 --> 00:44:54,574
Obituaries, funeral
directories, grave plots,
537
00:44:54,574 --> 00:44:56,313
the list goes on.
538
00:44:56,313 --> 00:44:58,397
It's also tucked away in
the darkest corner, so I can
539
00:44:58,397 --> 00:45:01,261
understand why people would
be afraid to come back here.
540
00:45:01,261 --> 00:45:04,301
However, they believe
there is something here.
541
00:45:04,301 --> 00:45:06,059
Let's see what we can find.
542
00:45:11,348 --> 00:45:13,512
Is anybody here with me?
543
00:45:26,311 --> 00:45:27,978
Pardon my intrusion.
544
00:45:30,869 --> 00:45:33,248
Got flashing lights and somebody talking
545
00:45:33,248 --> 00:45:35,581
in a loud tone in a library.
546
00:45:36,862 --> 00:45:39,139
I could understand how that
would seem disrespectful,
547
00:45:39,139 --> 00:45:41,306
but I assure you it's not.
548
00:45:51,642 --> 00:45:53,892
Saginaw evening news, 1890.
549
00:45:57,818 --> 00:46:01,985
- This is Adam heading into
the attic of the Hoyt library.
550
00:46:18,212 --> 00:46:21,129
Oh, really watch your head in here.
551
00:46:23,568 --> 00:46:25,440
Shoot, I just dropped my recorder.
552
00:46:32,883 --> 00:46:34,470
I can't even feel it down there.
553
00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:37,137
I think it goes down pretty far.
554
00:46:50,775 --> 00:46:54,442
I don't know if I'm
gonna be able to get it.
555
00:47:05,431 --> 00:47:06,680
I found it!
556
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,506
Sorry, did I scare you?
557
00:47:08,506 --> 00:47:10,345
Sorry, come on.
558
00:47:10,345 --> 00:47:13,928
- People are very afraid
to come down here.
559
00:47:18,579 --> 00:47:21,746
And I'm here to try to figure out why.
560
00:47:25,104 --> 00:47:28,921
I know it's a spooky
portion of the building.
561
00:47:33,878 --> 00:47:35,271
But the people that work here
562
00:47:35,271 --> 00:47:37,854
swear it's more than just that.
563
00:47:39,399 --> 00:47:43,566
They feel that they're not
alone when they are here.
564
00:47:46,217 --> 00:47:49,357
Some of these dates on these books go back
565
00:47:49,357 --> 00:47:50,190
150 years.
566
00:47:53,132 --> 00:47:53,965
- Oh, wow.
567
00:47:56,036 --> 00:47:58,536
This must be for the skylight.
568
00:48:03,371 --> 00:48:05,121
Take a look in there.
569
00:48:15,801 --> 00:48:17,197
- Allow me to introduce myself.
570
00:48:17,197 --> 00:48:18,614
My name is Steve.
571
00:48:19,510 --> 00:48:22,010
And I'm here just for tonight.
572
00:48:23,183 --> 00:48:25,766
I'm here to try to find answers
573
00:48:26,838 --> 00:48:29,986
for the staff of the Hoyt library
574
00:48:29,986 --> 00:48:30,819
who swear
575
00:48:32,988 --> 00:48:36,210
there are supernatural events taking place
576
00:48:36,210 --> 00:48:37,259
throughout the building,
577
00:48:37,259 --> 00:48:39,509
and particularly this room.
578
00:48:52,721 --> 00:48:55,054
Can you show yourself to me?
579
00:48:58,285 --> 00:49:01,347
I promise I won't be afraid,
580
00:49:01,347 --> 00:49:03,264
nor will I be startled.
581
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,165
You can move an object.
582
00:49:09,165 --> 00:49:13,332
You can use your voice to
try to speak or communicate.
583
00:49:16,369 --> 00:49:19,786
Anything you feel comfortable with doing.
584
00:49:35,972 --> 00:49:38,877
- You gotta be careful up here.
585
00:49:54,208 --> 00:49:55,831
- You can follow me if you want.
586
00:49:55,831 --> 00:49:57,082
You can stand in front of me.
587
00:49:57,082 --> 00:49:59,665
You can tap me on the shoulder.
588
00:50:02,798 --> 00:50:06,252
I'm here as a friend of the library
589
00:50:06,252 --> 00:50:08,502
to try to reach out to you.
590
00:50:10,828 --> 00:50:13,080
Maybe there's more than one of you.
591
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,439
That's fine, too.
592
00:50:14,439 --> 00:50:15,712
- Hello?
593
00:50:25,850 --> 00:50:27,821
Who's up here?
594
00:50:47,656 --> 00:50:50,407
Did you want us to come in this room?
595
00:51:00,173 --> 00:51:03,260
Are you trying to lead us somewhere?
596
00:51:03,260 --> 00:51:05,007
- Oh my god.
597
00:51:19,125 --> 00:51:22,998
It's got plastic on it,
so I think I can touch it.
598
00:51:28,507 --> 00:51:32,419
Carried by a BC Carter
through the Civil War.
599
00:51:32,419 --> 00:51:34,537
He was a member of the First Michigan
600
00:51:34,537 --> 00:51:37,683
Engineer and Mechanic's Regiment.
601
00:51:37,683 --> 00:51:40,183
Wow, look at this, the history
602
00:51:41,859 --> 00:51:43,315
that we're in right now.
603
00:51:43,315 --> 00:51:45,535
I mean, somebody carried this object
604
00:51:45,535 --> 00:51:48,128
through the entire Civil War.
605
00:51:48,128 --> 00:51:50,461
Just a little piece of home.
606
00:51:52,876 --> 00:51:55,972
Imagine the sentimental
value that this has,
607
00:51:55,972 --> 00:51:59,091
that all these objects
have, and you wonder why
608
00:51:59,091 --> 00:52:01,571
this is the most active
portion of the building.
609
00:53:47,791 --> 00:53:49,177
That's weird.
610
00:53:49,177 --> 00:53:52,381
Just felt like something kind
of brushing in the face here.
611
00:53:52,381 --> 00:53:56,126
Kind of felt like cobwebs,
but not quite cobwebs.
612
00:53:56,126 --> 00:53:57,495
But I don't feel anything.
613
00:53:57,495 --> 00:53:59,662
I don't see anything here.
614
00:54:03,102 --> 00:54:04,836
Felt weird.
615
00:54:04,836 --> 00:54:05,669
Hello?
616
00:54:11,668 --> 00:54:14,168
The folks that work down here,
617
00:54:15,181 --> 00:54:17,707
there's only three offices
in this particular department
618
00:54:17,707 --> 00:54:20,754
and they're all pretty
nervous about working here.
619
00:54:20,754 --> 00:54:23,316
This is known to be
definitely one of the most
620
00:54:23,316 --> 00:54:24,733
haunted sections.
621
00:54:28,749 --> 00:54:31,225
I know we say that a lot
during this investigation,
622
00:54:31,225 --> 00:54:33,261
but there are so many spots
623
00:54:33,261 --> 00:54:36,183
and so many rooms with activity here.
624
00:54:36,183 --> 00:54:38,266
So many different claims.
625
00:54:45,986 --> 00:54:48,666
So this is one of the older
parts of the building.
626
00:54:48,666 --> 00:54:52,583
I'm guessing it has some
of the oldest spirits.
627
00:54:56,290 --> 00:54:57,869
A lot of things from the past here
628
00:54:57,869 --> 00:54:59,619
collected and stored.
629
00:55:00,637 --> 00:55:03,054
Maybe you have some interest?
630
00:55:04,147 --> 00:55:08,314
Maybe these things remind you
of your particular time frame?
631
00:55:10,928 --> 00:55:13,678
Things that you're familiar with?
632
00:55:18,403 --> 00:55:19,486
East Saginaw.
633
00:55:20,836 --> 00:55:24,696
- I've had the opportunity
to speak with several
634
00:55:24,696 --> 00:55:27,946
of the nice people that work down here.
635
00:55:29,313 --> 00:55:32,264
They say they can sense your presence.
636
00:55:44,684 --> 00:55:48,267
Sometimes their belongings
will go missing.
637
00:55:55,331 --> 00:55:58,831
Turn up in a different part of the office.
638
00:56:03,201 --> 00:56:05,118
Sometimes never at all.
639
00:56:06,532 --> 00:56:09,205
- Look at this, old dumbwaiter.
640
00:56:09,205 --> 00:56:12,157
All the old buildings had these.
641
00:56:12,157 --> 00:56:14,907
Made people's lives a lot easier,
642
00:56:15,749 --> 00:56:18,434
sending things up and
down the little elevator
643
00:56:18,434 --> 00:56:22,920
instead of carrying heavy
things up the steps.
644
00:56:26,549 --> 00:56:28,252
Makes perfect sense in a library
645
00:56:28,252 --> 00:56:31,036
with all those heavy books.
646
00:56:31,036 --> 00:56:33,899
- Earlier in the night,
when we were given the tour,
647
00:56:33,899 --> 00:56:37,248
I guess one of the employees
that work in this office here
648
00:56:37,248 --> 00:56:39,530
was digitizing some old film cans
649
00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:41,776
that were donated by a private collector
650
00:56:41,776 --> 00:56:43,869
of Old Saginaw City.
651
00:56:43,869 --> 00:56:46,756
And while he was processing,
digitizing these films,
652
00:56:46,756 --> 00:56:50,429
a very prominent figure of Saginaw's past,
653
00:56:50,429 --> 00:56:52,619
when his name would be
mentioned, this light here
654
00:56:52,619 --> 00:56:56,702
above where he was seated,
would begin to flicker.
655
00:56:56,702 --> 00:56:58,325
At first, he thought okay well,
656
00:56:58,325 --> 00:56:59,842
maybe it's just a coincidence.
657
00:56:59,842 --> 00:57:03,235
Well, after five or six
times of this happening,
658
00:57:03,235 --> 00:57:04,997
he started to get pretty spooked out.
659
00:57:04,997 --> 00:57:07,878
And the gentleman told us
that about another dozen times
660
00:57:07,878 --> 00:57:11,159
throughout these films, it
would continue to happen,
661
00:57:11,159 --> 00:57:12,734
only when his name was mentioned.
662
00:57:12,734 --> 00:57:14,734
So that's pretty spooky.
663
00:57:18,260 --> 00:57:22,427
- Do you like having the
company of the staff down here?
664
00:57:25,742 --> 00:57:29,409
Or maybe you like it
better when they leave?
665
00:57:35,478 --> 00:57:36,744
Typing?
666
00:57:57,461 --> 00:57:58,294
Hello?
667
00:58:01,410 --> 00:58:02,390
It stopped.
668
00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:04,433
- Now that is real creepy.
669
00:58:04,433 --> 00:58:05,516
Look at this.
670
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,687
These are all the collections of where
671
00:58:10,961 --> 00:58:13,871
people are buried, all the old cemeteries.
672
00:58:13,871 --> 00:58:17,408
We have Forest Lawn, see
several others down here.
673
00:58:21,170 --> 00:58:24,150
Even got some film cans here.
674
00:58:24,150 --> 00:58:26,150
Saginaw city cemeteries.
675
00:58:27,977 --> 00:58:28,810
It's amazing.
676
00:58:28,810 --> 00:58:30,754
You're literally looking at thousands
677
00:58:30,754 --> 00:58:33,763
of people's resting places.
678
00:58:33,763 --> 00:58:34,684
- Excuse me.
679
00:58:58,778 --> 00:59:00,604
- I'm sure you've witnessed
quite a bit of change
680
00:59:00,604 --> 00:59:01,937
in this library.
681
00:59:12,334 --> 00:59:13,917
Do you like change?
682
00:59:18,938 --> 00:59:22,938
Or do you prefer things
the way they used to be?
683
01:00:10,627 --> 01:00:11,785
- After reviewing all the footage
684
01:00:11,785 --> 01:00:14,134
from the infrared stationary cameras,
685
01:00:14,134 --> 01:00:16,836
we found ourselves in total disbelief.
686
01:00:16,836 --> 01:00:19,963
Finally, after all the
stories and eyewitness claims,
687
01:00:19,963 --> 01:00:22,815
we had visual evidence
of the spirit referred to
688
01:00:22,815 --> 01:00:24,898
as the helpful librarian.
689
01:01:17,836 --> 01:01:20,503
- I know a lot of heart and soul
690
01:01:23,436 --> 01:01:27,019
was put into the creation
of this building.
691
01:01:28,096 --> 01:01:30,348
I say building, it's much
more than just a building
692
01:01:30,348 --> 01:01:33,598
to the community, to myself, the staff.
693
01:01:38,287 --> 01:01:42,204
It's a big part of our
history here in Saginaw.
694
01:01:43,218 --> 01:01:47,385
So I know some of that heart
and soul has to remain,
695
01:01:48,450 --> 01:01:50,950
the energy has to remain here.
696
01:01:56,649 --> 01:01:59,232
If there's anything that anyone
697
01:02:00,215 --> 01:02:01,632
would like to say
698
01:02:03,531 --> 01:02:05,281
or a message perhaps,
699
01:02:10,634 --> 01:02:13,217
please feel free to speak to me
700
01:02:14,703 --> 01:02:17,536
and trust that I am a friend here.
701
01:02:28,333 --> 01:02:31,451
We're only going to be
visiting just for tonight.
702
01:02:31,451 --> 01:02:35,304
And then I promise you,
the nights will go back
703
01:02:35,304 --> 01:02:37,387
to being quiet, peaceful,
704
01:02:39,462 --> 01:02:42,712
and most of all go back to being yours.
705
01:02:51,482 --> 01:02:55,935
I know there's been others
that have come here,
706
01:02:55,935 --> 01:02:59,596
probably asked you similar questions
707
01:02:59,596 --> 01:03:01,930
and asked you to do similar things.
708
01:03:34,801 --> 01:03:38,841
This would be a beautiful place to spend
709
01:03:38,841 --> 01:03:40,348
eternity.
710
01:03:44,388 --> 01:03:46,462
And I could understand that.
711
01:03:52,819 --> 01:03:54,986
The people that work here,
712
01:03:56,081 --> 01:03:58,993
it's not that they're afraid,
713
01:03:58,993 --> 01:04:02,243
they would just love to know more about
714
01:04:04,694 --> 01:04:06,027
why you're here.
715
01:04:07,718 --> 01:04:11,135
They love the building as much as you do.
716
01:04:12,097 --> 01:04:15,731
And I think if you guys
could somehow connect
717
01:04:15,731 --> 01:04:19,564
it could be even a better
experience for both.
718
01:04:23,144 --> 01:04:25,477
They definitely respect you.
719
01:04:27,334 --> 01:04:30,636
They view the spirits, for the most part,
720
01:04:30,636 --> 01:04:32,886
of the Hoyt to be very kind
721
01:04:35,915 --> 01:04:38,915
and part of the building that it is,
722
01:04:41,153 --> 01:04:42,757
the historic Hoyt library.
