Former Holy Trinity School in the Masonic Temple building

History & local legend

Holy Trinity School in Hazleton occupied different buildings over its history, including an earlier West Oak Street address and the former Masonic Temple on North Church Street. A school ghost story collected by 2005 claimed that a child's spirit followed the pupils from the old school to the later one.

According to the tale, a pupil fell four flights down a staircase after a basketball game. Although the fall was placed in the old building, the haunting was associated with the school the students subsequently attended.
