Episode 45: Back Across the River to Astor

Little children, a mysterious man, and a pukwudgie who looks a bit like a gator.Whatever is running through the stacks at the Astor Library isn’t hiding from anyone. Some of the spirits even like to go home with you.

Christopher Balzano and Natalie Crist travel back over the St. John’s River to take another look at what might be haunting the library in Astor. After spending some time getting the stories from the employees and debating what might be causing the activity, they get ready for a night there with the lights out and the old school séance methods out.

You can see the video where the employees explain the pukwudgie at:
