Newcastle's Lit and Phil Library is the UK's largest independent library outside London. It is built across the path of Hadrian's Wall, with some of its stonework visible in the basement. Founded in 1793, the library is said to have 16 ghosts, including a librarian who haunts the basement, a witchfinder general, and a little girl. There have been reports of books falling mysteriously from shelves, disembodied voices telling people to 'ssshh' and strange lights at night. #Newcastle #gothic #ghosts #paranormal #Psychogeography #weird #folklore #history
