4 reported haunted locations found near Hazleton, PA.

Name	Description
Bishop Hafey High School	There's been stories of hearing screams and strange noises coming from the library windows of the school at night. People say there was a girl who committed suicide at that location `outside the library in the mid/late 1970's, and must still linger around there.
Green Street	After a basketball game a kid fell down 4 flights of stairs in the old Holy Trinity School and now is haunting the Holy Trinity School that is there now.
Key Theatre, Broad Street	Three ghosts are dressed n early 1900 attire. One man haunts the projector room. Sometimes you may see the projector turn on itself. Or hear old music playing, and before you can reach the door, its gone. The second ghost seems to like the concession stand. The last ghost is the most frequently seen in the ticket booth.
Wyoming and Green Streets	In the little shop on the corner of Wyoming and Green Streets, next to I believe Cousins Bar, there is said to have been various sightings of people walking through the storefront, in the kitchen, and in the basement. There was supposedly a mass murder in the building back in the late 1930's. While nobody has actually physically encountered any of them, they are said to be very temperamental and violent.
