It was established by a group including the renowned scientist Joseph Priestley, who served as its first secretary. Originally housed in the back of Joseph Ogle’s bookshop on Kirkgate, the library was created to provide a shared collection for members at a time when books were prohibitively expensive and public libraries did not exist. By 1808, it settled into its current home: a Grade II* listed Greek Revival building on Commercial Street, designed specifically for its needs.The chilling history of The Leeds Library centers on the apparition of Vincent Sternberg, a former librarian who reportedly never left his post. The haunting first came to light in 1884 when the current librarian, John MacAlister, was working late and saw a pale, hairless figure in the stacks. Thinking it was a burglar, MacAlister pursued the man into a small room with a revolver, only to find the space completely empty.Since that first encounter, Sternberg's presence has become a permanent fixture of the library’s lore. Staff and members frequently report disembodied footsteps on the iron galleries, the scent of old tobacco, and the eerie sound of "Sternberg’s gong," which he once used to summon assistants. These occurrences were so prominent in the late 19th century that a group of librarians even held a séance in 1885 to communicate with the spirit, during which he allegedly confessed to the "crime" of lending library books to friends without proper records.Today, the library leans into its spooky reputation and we are so privileged to be able to investigate this awesome location with our fantastic guests, so book your place now! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/leeds/sold-out-the-leeds-library-paranormal-event-ghost-hunt-16/100001984039723221 - **Event Categories**: ghost-hunts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 16+ - door_time: 2026-10-24T19:45:00Z - Duration: 5 hours - Location: The Leeds Library - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22.38, max: 54.88, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Leeds - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Leeds Library - **lat**: 53.797456 - **long**: -1.544537 - **full address**: The Leeds Library, 18 Commercial Street, Leeds, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SOLD OUT The Leeds Library - Paranormal Event/Ghost Hunt 16+ - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/0e2deffc3f3f4968ebbc85f8e2bca3263b088ec0f4bd1d046f1aa4121e7206dd-rimg-w576-h384-dc492c1b-gmir.jpg?v=1772800488 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SOLD OUT The Leeds Library - Paranormal Event/Ghost Hunt 16+ being held? - **A:** SOLD OUT The Leeds Library - Paranormal Event/Ghost Hunt 16+ takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 pm to Sun, 25 Oct, 2026 at 02:00 am at The Leeds Library, 18 Commercial Street, Leeds, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for SOLD OUT The Leeds Library - Paranormal Event/Ghost Hunt 16+? - **A:** SOLD OUT The Leeds Library - Paranormal Event/Ghost Hunt 16+ is strictly for guests aged 16 and above.
