Kimberley is the capital city of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. Mostly known for it’s 19th-century diamond mines, like the deep, hand-dug Big Hole, this town is also infamous for it’s haunted history.
One of these haunted places is said to be The Africana Museum, previously known as the Kimberly Public Library, built in 1882, where the city’s first librarian is still roaming the halls.

After he was caught cooking the books – not literally, but with a pricing scam – Bertrand Dyer committed suicide at his workplace in 1908 by swallowing arsenic, taking three days to die.
Apparently his ghost can often be seen, pacing the halls of the library and rearranging what was more than 14,000 books.
Supposedly, if you were looking for a particular book, you just had to shout out the title and Dyer’s ghost would pull it off the shelf for you.
