Ghost-hunters spooked at library

Thursday 17th September 2009, 9:00AM BST.

shrewsbury_library_1.thumbGhost-hunters were spooked by weird noises including a “loud metallic clanging” and a bang when they camped out at a Shropshire library for a paranormal investigation.

Members of the West Midlands Ghost Club carried out the investigation at Shrewsbury Library.

They recorded the sounds and are now trying to determine exactly what it was they heard.

The visit, earlier this month, was the second to the library in the space of just a few months following a previous visit in June.

The ghost club returned to the library for a four-hour visit this month after discovering that one of its cameras had seemingly picked up some “peculiar female vocal sounds”.

John Conway, from the club, said: “At 9.55pm members of group one hear a loud metallic ‘clanging’ noise, followed by a very loud ‘bang’ from somewhere inside the building.” He said investigations took place but there was no indication of anything which could have made the sounds.

“We really can’t explain what these sounds were,” he added.
