The Cross Country and Soccer Teams of North Schuylkill High School are hosting a Haunted House in the old Cardinal Brennan High School again this year.
The former school is the perfect location for haunting sights and sounds..
This night we went was especially gloomy, with pounding cold rain hitting onto the roof and walls.. The night time air was set perfect. The haunted attraction is cool stuff, and great job to everyone who is involved..
What I wrote last year still holds true:
There are some real stories–as real as you can get–of hauntings at Cardinal Brennan.. I personally never much had much of an opinion on them.. There is the famed ‘ghost nun’ idea of the third floor–no sightings of her ever happened for me.
Years ago not only did friends and I love violating the rules of signage erected by exploring dark rooms in the deep trenches of the school, but I was alone in Cardinal Brennan on several occasions in my youth. I never experienced anything scary.. instead there was always a warm glow to whatever spirits may exist there. There is some form of strange happiness that can still be felt inside the cold walls.
Yes, for as well done as the haunted mansion was, it is also bringing a certain form of nostalgia back for anyone who graduated or attended there.. ( I wrote about my Alma Mater back in 2015 when the school was sold. )
