History & local legend
Mifflin School opened in Pittsburgh's Lincoln Place neighborhood in 1932. Its auditorium was designed with a separate entrance so the community could attend performances, but the best-known apparition story concerns a smaller space: the music room.
The Shadowlands recorded three reports of a green, floating man in that room. A separate account describes a face suspended in the air during after-school activities, without specifying a room.
