The Karpeles Manuscripts Library Museum in Jacksonville Florida is one of only ten in the United States. It contains documents and manuscripts of the rare kinds on display and is privately owned by David and Marsha Karpeles. The exhibits change out from time to time which makes it very exciting to see what will be on display next.
The Jacksonville Museum opened in 1992 in the old First Church of Christ Scientists which was built in 1924. Many say this old building is haunted, but others believe it is the documents themselves that are haunted and not the building.
Apparently the activity fluctuates depending on the exhibits so it does seem the paranormal occurrences surround the items.
When I visited here a couple of years ago the documents that were here were letters between Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini. The articles were pertaining to the spirit world so it was a real treat to see that exhibit.
