Investigators: Residual ghosts haunt county museum
Tuolumne County Museum Curator Billie Lyons spends a lot of time alone in the history center annex. When everyone is gone and it’s very quiet, she can hear shuffling, footsteps and, in her peripheral vision, sees someone walking by.
When she looks up from the computer, nobody is there.
And for about eight months, each night when she locked up she set the alarm. Everything was in order.
When she opened the next morning, papers would be strewn about. One morning she noticed some silk flowers from a basket atop the water cooler were on the floor. She figured someone nudged it and she hadn’t noticed when she left.
The next day, the flowers that she had put back and shoved firmly in the basket were on the floor in a line.
