The Osterhout Library Paranormal Investigation w/The Wraith ChasersCelebrity Paranormal Investigation of the Osterhout Library
The Osterhout Library, as it stands today, began as a Presbyterian Church in 1849, before being bought and turned into the library.
A prominent merchant and real estate magnate, Issac Osterhout, died in 1882 and willed a large portion of his estate to the establishment of a Free Public Library.
Mr. Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal System, was hired and his first recommendation was to purchase the First Presbyterian Church.
The Osterhout Free Library opened its doors in January of 1889, being one of the first libraries in NEPA.
Come join the experienced investigators of Wyoming Valley Ghost Tours and the Wraith Chasers to investigate and explore the shelves and halls of the Osterhout Library, learning about this historic 125-year-old building on Saturday, September 14th @ 7:00 PM. You will Hearn of the history of this location from a librarian of the establishment, followed by a brief Q and A with the Wraith Chasers, before conducting your own paranormal investigation with provided equipment.
Chris Smith and Mike Goncalves of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers from Travel Channel's "Haunted Towns" and "Haunted Live", plus Destination America's "Ghost Asylum" and "Haunted Towns"
Chris became fascinated with hauntings at a young age after a frightening supernatural encounter. While in his grandfather’s barn, he came face to face with a “shadow person,” a shadow-like humanoid figure also known in some cultures as “wraiths” that are usually seen in peripheral vision. Since then, Chris has devoted his life to investigating paranormal activity and later won a spot on SyFy’s Ghost Hunters Academy to train under Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango of “Ghost Hunters.” After returning home, Chris founded the Tennessee Wraith Chasers ghost-hunting team to investigate paranormal mysteries. Though a skeptic by nature, he’s receptive to the idea that spirits are among us but seeks hard evidence to prove it. Chris is a native of Gallatin, Tenn., where he was raised in a strict missionary Baptist household.
Mike, a musician, songwriter, and producer, got his first taste of the paranormal working in the shadows of the show “Ghost Asylum,” and on several occasions experienced his own paranormal events while trudging through the darkness of America's most haunted locations. Mike has spent 15 years in the music industry touring the world and sharing the stage with some of rock’s most notable icons. It was his countless hours spent in recording studios with state-of-the-art technology that made him curious to see if this advanced audio-visual equipment would help uncover evidence that the typical paranormal investigator was missing. As a Wraith Chaser, Mike brings his production expertise to the team, lending aid in the quest to uncover the unknown bumps in the night. Mike is a family man, animal lover and follower of Christ along with his fellow Wraith brothers. His charm and witty personality make him the most likely jokester of the team. But don’t let his wit fool you; Mike couldn’t be more serious when it comes to his investigation of the afterlife.
