Cryptecha

The Crpytecha is an area within the House of Knowledge, shelves of hidden lore and locked-away secrets, which require permission and supervision to access. Thackeray Owlrite and Siobahn Ilchester are two known scribes who ventured into the Cryptecha amidst reports of noises and whispers occuring ("the whispering vault"). Both went missing. Other clerks subsequently dubbed the place the 'bad nook'.

A few days later Thackery returned, said that a whispering shadow tried to take their minds. A few days passed, Thackery began whispering, eventually screaming randomly. Book and blood. Book and blood. Section was closed off, but even then if you get close enough you can still hear the whispering and scratching.
