"This is no small feat," said owner and chef, Mathew Mitnitsky, as Guinness World Records is very specific about the requirements.

You've probably been to the library a million times, but did you know that it's also the scene or some pretty frightful experiences? No worries - there isn't a ghoul lurking in the cookbook section or anything. The scene of the stories that follow occur in the basement. The basement is a creepy place by itself.
