Investigation of the Osterhout Library with
Steve and Tango of the Ghost Hunters
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 Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, of the Ghost Hunters, to investigate and explore the shelves and halls of the Osterhout Library on Friday, October 25th @ 7 PM (Doors will open NO EARLIER THAN 6:00 PM). You will have the opportunity to meet Steve and Tango, get your picture taken with one (or both of them), talk and ask some questions, before conducting your own paranormal investigation alongside the Ghost Hunters in the Osterhout Library (as seen on Ghost Hunters).
