Description

Originally the old Drexel Estate, and later an orphanage before becoming a school, there are two tales here. The first is the story of an orphan who was murdered by another. On the second floor of the school, there are still two halls left with the original bedroomsβ€”still not converted to classrooms. The halls are on the same floor as the chapel. Students have claimed to see furniture move in those rooms. There is one old rocking horse in particular that will always move on its own when the room is occupied for too long. Because of the hostile vibe felt in that room, people believe that it is the spirit of the murdered orphan, who also died there due to a freak accident. There are also reports of students seeing two children late at night, running, fighting, and screaming through those halls. The second story is the tale of a nun who taught at the orphanage. She hanged herself in the bell tower and haunts it to this day. Many times, the bell will ring unexpectedly, and late at night, a light will turn on and off. Unlike the modern light that is supposed to be up there (which seems to always mysteriously short out), it looks like a candle. Students who have tried to get up there have been severely spooked. The school has had the bell tower sealed off for years. Some students have reported coming back from school dances and looking up to see the nun watching them from the bell tower.
