THE STORY

Reported Haunting

The former Holy Cross Seminary is associated with reports of unexplained paranormal activity following its abandonment. Visitors have described apparitions, shadow figures, disembodied voices, and mysterious footsteps throughout the property. The decaying buildings have become a popular destination for paranormal investigators.

The Holy Cross Seminary Site was built by the Catholic Church’s Passionist Movement in the early 1920s as a preparatory school. It closed in 1968 and by the mid-1980s it had been demolished. Ruins of the building and chapel and the driveway are all that remain. The ghost of a priest with bowed head is said to appear here during the daytime, and quickly vanishes.
