History & local legend
The former Catholic school and convent on the DuBois Regional Medical Center's west campus generated two sets of night-shift stories. In an account collected in 2004, the old convent housed transcription offices behind Home Health. Employees working alone reportedly heard a prayer bell that stopped when someone else entered, and a radio played without an operator.
The neighboring former Central Christian High School had its own traditions. People described a child running through corridors and a figure at cafeteria windows. Lights going out were attributed to an old headmaster making his rounds.
