The library is the oldest structure in Sapphire Valley. It was built around 1864 and was part of a working farm, which
produced fresh vegetables, meats and wholesome dairy products for the old Fairfield Inn. The Library was named after
the lounge in the old Fairfield Inn and established as a private dining club in 1992. Great effort was taken to protect
the architectural integrity of the original farmhouse and in 1999, the restaurant underwent a major renovation and
expansion of the dining facilities and outdoor patio and gazebo. We would like to thank Mark and Megan for giving us
the opportunity to investigate.

A past chef had seen a pot fly off the stove.
*
Kenny walked into the kitchen and saw coffee in a pot sloshing back and forth as if someone had just set the
coffee pot down.
*
The kitchen is thought to be in the same location as it was in the original house. Maybe that is why on 3 separate
times, employees have came in to the kitchen in the morning and one of the burners on the stove would be on full
blast. The flame would be shooting up at least a foot.
*
Mark saw approximately, in the beginning of May, a woman wearing a white flowing gown standing in the doorway to
the bathroom.
*
Kenny has seen a little girl wearing a white night gown standing near the doorway at the foot of the stairs. He
has seen her at least 50 times but hasn’t seen her in the past 6 months.
*
Kenny also had said that one night at closing time he pushed all the bar stools up against the bar and left the
room. When he returned to the room, every other bar stool was turned around facing away from the bar.
*
Chip and Russ on several occasions has seen out of the corner of their eye, shadows which mostly are seen near the
hall by the bathrooms. Others have also witnessed this. Chip says he has the feeling of being watched and his
hair on the back of his neck has a tendency to raise.

A long time patron of the Library club named Sue spoke of her first time in the club when it had first opened in
the early 90’s. Sue said that while sitting at the bar she felt her leg touched and then her shoulder, she got up
and went outside on the patio because she was a bit shocked. After a while she came back in and this time she felt
touched on her shoulder then leg, right after that happened a book came off the shelf behind her and landed on the
floor. Sue swore she would never return to the club again. Sue told this to me while sitting at the club in almost
the same original seat she had been sitting in on her first visit. The Library club has a feeling to it that makes
you feel at home and always want to return to.
