At over 110 years old, Willard is the oldest public library building in the state. The library, housed in a beautiful Victorian Gothic building, is nestled gloriously near the downtown area of this southwestern Indiana city of 130,000 people, providing a sharp contrast with the modern high-rises and six-lane freeways.
The first reported incident happened sixty years ago to a library employee who trekked through the snowy cold for his nightly duty. Since then, countless other employees and patrons have reported seeing this apparition, each giving an eerily similar description.
According to reports from visitors, some of the most frequent encounters with the legendary Lady in Gray have occurred in the children's reading room in the basement of Willard Library.
