Each Halloween season, All Things Judicial releases a special episode called "Fright Court," where the focus turns to ghostly legends associated with North Carolina's courthouses. The second oldest courthouse in the state, built in 1786, is located in Beaufort County, in the City of Washington. Allegedly, this courthouse is haunted by the ghost of a defendant named Reverend George Washington Carawan, who was tried for murder in 1853. We interviewed Terry Rollins, Youth Services Librarian at the Brown Library in Washington, to get the full story about this remarkable case. "(After the trial) people started reporting something very strange occurring in this building," said Rollins on the podcast. "Those stories have persisted decade after decade, and year after year, since 1853."The second segment of the podcast involves former Supreme Court of North Carolina Associate Justice George Brown, and his wife Laura Ellison Brown. The justice and his wife were local benefactors in the City of Washington, who after their deaths, bequeathed their estate to establish a public library. The Brown Library found a permanent place on the justice's old homesite, but some report that the Browns continue to visit the library almost 100 years after their deaths. The reports of hauntings in North Carolina's courthouses are unverified. However, witness claim that they are true. Are some of North Carolina's courthouses haunted? Listen to the podcast and you be the judge.See a video rendition of the podcast called Fright Court - Old Beaufort County Courthouse.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There will be no job action today in the Vancouver Island Regional Library strike, which began Tuesday. A  BC General Employees' Union (BCGEU) spokesperson emailed Cortes Currents, “We do not want to be in job action so, in order to minimize impact on communities, we are making plans day-to-day based on what we hear from the mediator and will update the community as far in advance as we can.” A picket line went up at the Duncan Library branch at 8 AM on Tuesday and the job action at that branch ended at 8 PM on Wednesday. The spokesperson stated that job action, including picket lines, could resume at any one of the Libraries 39 branches as early as Friday. The librarians collective agreement with VIRL expired 15 months ago. Negotiations are stalled around two points. As the 46 librarians who voted in favour of job action explained in a joint letter,“Our wages are not aligned with the cost of living in our communities, yet the VIRL budget indicates a surplus for BCGEU staff. Given VIRL's recent decisions to build and renovate branches, and to hire multiple non-union management positions, we believe VIRL is able to invest in its librarians, by allocating some of that BCGEU surplus for reasonable wage increases.” They also stated,“VIRL management has refused to agree to many important proposals – including solutions to workplace violence and mental health impacts – without offering alternative solutions.” Three of the librarians who signed that letter are the Manager, Customer Services Librarian and Youth Services Librarian for the Campbell River, Gold River, Sayward, Tahsis, Quadra Island and Cortes Island branches, which are all within the Strathcona Regional District. In a press release the day before the job action at Duncan began, VIRL stated, “the British Columbia General Employees' Union (BCGEU) Local 702 has counter offered with wage increases greater than those the union had previously identified it would accept.”  Last night, the union spokesperson informed Cortes Currents, “At this time, the union is still awaiting a response to our counteroffer via the mediator.” photo credit: Strike by Magnus Hagdorn via Flickr (CC BY SA, 2.0 License)
