THE STORY
Reported Haunting
During the 1898 Spanish-American War, classes were suspended so the brick structure could serve as a military hospital that treated over 800 soldiers. Local ghost tours tie the area to phantom medical staff and residual cries from wounded soldiers.
Academy of the Holy Names was established in 1881 and the current building opened in 1926. The school is run by the sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. Ghosts of nuns have been seen walking around on the 4th floor, where the sisters used to live. There is also a little girl ghost that has been seen multiple times in the library. Other paranormal incidents have also taken place, such as bookshelves being fixed one night and then being in disarray the next morning.
