I am a resident of Belchertown and live about 15 mins from the library and school featured on your site and show! I am wondering if you have had other reports of strange happenings in this area!? I am interested as I had some issues and had my house blessed and it helped , but still get a sensation/ feeling there is some entity still here!? Thank you !

My friend Scott St. Pierre went to that library to check out a book and a ghost scratched his leg. He was super scared but was quiet. Because it's a library.
