History & local legend
The former Clay Street School in Kane, McKean County, has a story about children appearing at top-floor windows around two in the morning, watching the street below. A local resident writing in 2008 recalled hearing the tale since childhood.
By then, an owner known to the contributor used the old school as an art studio. A clergyperson returning to Kane in 2021 also remembered its appeal to ghost hunters, locating it two doors from Kane Manor.
