Albright College

: "Selwyn Hall - The third floor of Selwyn Hall, an ex-sorority house (but now it serves as a variety of things-health clinic, admissions, facilities, etc.), is said to be home to the ghost of a girl who committed suicide there. The details of the exact circumstances surrounding her death aren''t very well known, as the involved sororities keep it as hushed as possible. But the rumor of the motivation behind the suicide was the girl being rejected from the sororities and therefore taking her life."

Central Catholic High School

: "People have heard chains rattle & have seen the locks on the lockers spin by themselves. The power often goes out for unknown reasons. Electric companies have come and have no idea why the power is/was out. Also the family of Mr. Luden was killed too. The wife and daughter in the basement (also known as the dungeon to the students) and Mrs. Luden was killed on the 2nd or third floor. The son hanged himself on the wooden stairs. Also the chains people hear are from another son, who was chained in the attic. One final thing is that some nights you can hear Mr. Luden''s piano playing. The piano isn''t in the room anymore but the sound still occurs there."

St. Ignatius Loyola School

: "About 3 years ago around exam week, a young man stayed after school to study. When he was done studying he waited outside for his ride, but his mom never came. The phones were out and he was all-alone. The next day the police found his body in the library. It was mangled and gross. They never said how exactly he died. They say if your there the phone will ring, and no one will be there, things being written on walls, and people even have heard and seen him running away. If you feel a cold spot, remember this school doesn''t have air conditioning! Some people say if you say his name in the dark you will see glowing eyes. His name was Jerry."
