History & local legend
The former Bishop Hafey High School in Hazleton had a library legend familiar to students even after the building became Holy Family Academy. They said a girl's scream could be heard through the library windows at midnight.
A Holy Family pupil writing in November 2010 described attending classes there daily and helping the teacher during free periods. The student was normally comfortable alone in the library, even with its lights off. On one occasion, however, a conversation with classmates turned to the ghost story and the pupil suddenly felt cold.
