“One night, a Library guard told me he wasn’t patrolling the Ian Potter Queen’s Hall as he had felt a presence there of late. He refused. So I thought (and probably not rightly so) that I would do the patrol for him if he sat in the control room. So it’s about 2am. I do the regular route through the Library and get to Ian Potter Queen’s Hall. Not afraid as I thought the whole thing was ridiculous, I’m walking around and then I see ‘Her’. A transparent figure standing in the piano room on the mezzanine floor of the Queens Hall. Hair flowing with a long gown, holding the hand of a young boy. There was no breeze in the building as it was a still night, but her hair and garments were flowing. I felt hot all over and fell to my knees as she continued to stare at me. I didn’t feel anything but sadness from this figure. It is hard to explain. She walked off into the wall and disappeared. I will never forget her and the sadness in her face. I was to later find out that there were #ghost sightings near that piano room, but I hadn’t had the preconceived notion before entering the room and the recollections were of a female form. To this day I have not been able to find out who she was.” Hellena Lozanovski, Senior Library Technician, StateLibraryVictoria https://blogs.slv.vic.gov.au/news/spooky-stories-from-the-library/
