That Doesn't Happen Every Day Dean Petersen

Despite their best efforts to remove all the bodies from a cemetery in Green River, Wyoming, remains of people and their graves continue to be found under and around The Sweetwater County Library.  In addition to physical items, staff and visitors have also claimed to have frightening and unusual encounters there.  We interview two people who've worked there about some the weird things they've seen and heard there.

If you visit The Sweetwater County Library, please be respectful and remember that it is first and foremost a library. 

Please check out Micki Gilmore's book about the library Spirits in the Stacks: Tales from Sweetwater County's haunted library
