21

Sometimes you do feel that someone might be looking over your shoulder as you browse through the shelves of your community library. But usually it is another library patron trying to get past you or a library clerk edging in to re-shelve a book.

Not so in New Paltz where a library security camera shows a suspicious shadowy figure on tape. Many are calling this figure that many are calling a ghost.

You can read the story from The New York Times and catch a video of a sighting on YouTube.com, which when I looked this morning had been viewed 15,739 times.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
