Location Description:
The founder of Fairhaven, Henry Huttleston Rogers, had a daughter named Millicent. She died when she was barely seventeen of heart failure. Rumor has it that he had her buried under the foundation before the foundation was finished. People who visit the library sometimes see her walking the halls, outlined in bright blue light. At night, passersby both on foot and in cars have reported seeing the girl standing in the window of the turret in front. On the upper floors, many have seen a woman dressed all in black wandering along, running her fingers along the books. No one knows who this ghostly woman could be. She often disappears too fast for anyone to get a good look.
----------------------------------
Music Room Witnesses have claimed to hear Millicent laughter coming from what was once knawn as the "Music Room." Staff and patrons have also seen a man dressed in a tweed jacket and purple bowtie with small circular glasses mopping the floor in the basement. One librarian claimed he is the ghost of a janitor who suffered a spill and broke his neck on the wet floors he still mops relentlessly. The doors open and close by themselves and the bathroom lights will shut off seconds after being turned on by a visitor. Footsteps can be heard on the stairwell leading to the basement.
-------------------------------------------
China Room The "China Room" boasts several paintings of Henry Rogers, his mother, his grandmother and other such relatives. Children have often said that if you speak to them, they change expressions (the emotions depend on the content). And the room is always dreadfully cold.
----------------------------
Basement & Vaults The hat of Heddy Green (a stingy old woman and mother to Colonel Green) lies within the vaults of the basement and some claim to have seen her after touching the hat. Some librarians will talk freely about the hauntings and offer information but most deny any and all accusations of paranormal activity. It’s a great place to visit. Don`t bother taking pictures. They usually won`t develop correctly.
