The Falling Figure at Manheim Central

Manheim Central High School on Adele Avenue as it appeared from above in 2008.

History & local legend

Manheim Central High School on Adele Avenue has two versions of a ghost story about an electrician. In the auditorium version, the man fell while hanging stage lights. Stage-crew members were said to see a figure falling there at night, as if the accident were happening again.

A separate account collected by Main Line Paranormal Investigations in 2007 places the electrician on the roof during maintenance work. In that telling, his ghost wanders the school halls afterward.
