HYANNIS — Four paranormal researchers sit in darkness inside the 260-year-old Hyannis Public Library, preparing to communicate with the dead, reports the Cape Cod Times.

They’re huddled in the oldest part of the building: the Ora Hinckley Wing, named after the facility’s first full-time librarian, who served from 1909 until her death in 1943. But even though Hinckley died more than 60 years ago, David Sircom, founder of the Massachusetts Paranormal Institute, believes her spirit still resides among the library stacks.
