    I live in Pendleton and I have never heard about this "haunting" at the Art Center, but I've been there numerous times for my mom's wedding shower, my moms' friend's baby shower, field trips, and 4-H meetings. Most of it was all down stairs and mostly when I had 4-H meetings there were just 3 kids and 2 leaders, but still I would never want to go down the long hallway downstairs alone and well I never liked to watch and scary shows or movies because they would freak me out. Anyways I would always get frightened when I went to go do something down there and I would try to make it really quick too, but then again, I might just be being paranoid as usual.

    As a child in the 70's, I would spend time in the children's section, which was in the downstairs area of what is now the Arts Center. The restrooms and lockers were also located downstairs. I remember having a feeling that there was another presence whenever I walked down the hall to use the restroom. Nothing scary. No fear of danger. I've always wondered if it were the spirit of the librarian looking over me.
