I've worked in lots of hospitals and often people tell you about ghosts that are supposed to haunt them, but I've never seen anything in any place I've worked.

Happy to do so.<br /><br />Karen - It isn't <i>that</i> spooky really... it was just in the atmosphere created!<br /><br />Christine - Scariest moments when you were open?!! Now I'm doing some graceless snorting of my own. The tableau did look good didn't it? team effort!<br /><br />penandpaints - sorry to disappoint! I'd have quite liked to have seen something... I think! <br /><br />Martin - I imagine that building would have been a bit creepy - so big and with its history. I was reading somewhere (you?) or talking to someone recently who worked in a medical library and used to have professors come in and ask them to source 'the most gruesome pictures of early surgery' they could find. That would creep me out in that sort of environment.<br /><br />Rainy - Well, I ended up getting paid because I was working, so I'm over it! <br /><br />Paul - It's actually a lovely building - which doesn't really come across in this post - I'll do more about it for our centenary next year.broken birohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233920262119205474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-49116883975514706042010-10-30T23:21:00.807+01:002010-10-30T23:21:00.807+01:00Sounds like a fun place to visit and keep the read...Sounds like a fun place to visit and keep the reading fires alive.Paul Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836602667355512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592591789385602191.post-67836068777859666062010-10-30T22:24:02.111+01:002010-10-30T22:24:02.111+01:00Pretty ghoulish stories from the reference librari...Pretty ghoulish stories from the reference librarian, and, of course, there's no one like a reference librarian for full possession of the facts!

Inevitably, there are tales of spooky goings-on in certain quarters of the building (and I'm not talking about senior managers). The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Southampton#Hartley_Institution" rel="nofollow">Hartley Library</a> is an impressive building, with the stock housed on five floors.
