Real Haunted Places in Pennsylvania

Immaculata

Immaculata College –

It is rumored that a nun back in the early 1900′s broke her vows and became pregnant. She was found out, and instead of being thrown out she jumped from the 4th floor balcony of the rotunda. Since her death, there is a large distinctive series of cracks on the glass floor of the Rotunda. Despite the efforts of the convent community to replace these cracked tiles, the new tiles always become shattered in the exact manner as the previous ones. Students who live on the hall on either side of the rotunda say that at night they can hear a woman crying, footstep following them when they are alone, and cold spots, the eerie cold feelings – They are not evil feelings, but feelings of remorse and regret. One student also stated that one night she was studying in one of the study rooms that is right off the rotunda and she thought she saw a nun in an old fashioned habit walking past the door way.

Independence

John T. Anderson Cemetery –

Off Service Creek Road there is a very old church and cemetery located along the banks of the Ambridge Reservoir. Service Creek Church was built in the 1700′s and the adjoining cemetery is just as old. There are remains of Revolutionary War soldiers, Civil War soldiers and more recent graves. It is still being used. The church and cemetery look like something out of a postcard, but beware. There is an eerie feeling here and total absolute silence. Sometimes, there is an indefinable smell in the air. Behind the church property is the road that runs along the reservoir. – BE ADVISED…it is ILLEGAL to go over the guardrails and down to the reservoir. YOU WILL BE ARRESTED!!! – There are strange faces in the mists and unexplainable violent thunderstorms that suddenly stop once you reach the end of the road. Strange sounds like whispers can be heard late at night. This is a popular lovers’ lane area. Violent lightning strikes sometimes hit the banks even when the weather is clear. There are voices here and strange movements and lights, and it is ALWAYS foggy. Reports of strange animals have also been recorded. This was once Indian land. Back in the cemetery, there have been numerous dead animals seen and always a feeling of being watched. When you stand at one of the Civil War graves, you can actually get a sense of how this soldier died and “see” him lying in his coffin. The spirits attempt to communicate with the living. The main road into the cemetery is a pine-tree lined twisting scenic road that leads right into the church parking lot.At night, however, this road is misty and mysterious lights can be seen shimmering in the fog. – PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL…the church and cemetery are still in use.

Old bridge –

Along a road in Independence Twp. in Beaver county, there runs a creek, which is spanned by a dilapidated iron bridge. A century and a half ago, a couple riding in a carriage were killed when their horses spooked and the carriage fell into the creek from the then wooden bridge. The course of the road has been changed, but one is still able to see the figure of the woman running beside the creek on some nights.
