FRYEBURG, Maine — The ghosts of author Clarence Mulford and an African slave who was buried in a small cemetery next to the library apparently communicated with two paranormal researchers and about a half dozen winners of a ghost hunt raffle including a Sun reporter.
The Luna Paranormal Research team — Kelly Rogers of North Conway and Linda Merritt of Effingham — led the expedition at the library.
