Description

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.

πŸ“ Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: Originally built as the Bon-Air Mansion in the early 1920s for William H. Luden (founder of Luden’s throat drops), the estate was purchased by the Catholic Diocese in 1939 and converted into a high school. The school officially closed in 2011, and the property remains privately owned. The listing address has been corrected to the estate’s true location at 1400 Hill Road.
