Hayfield House at Penn State Wilkes-Barre was constructed by coal baron John Conyngham as a dream home for him and his wife Bertha at the Hayfield Farms estate. According to legend, after the home was built, John Conyngham accidentally -- or not so accidentally -- fell down the home's elevator shaft to his death. In the time since, students and staff have claimed to hear bizarre noises and slamming doors when the building is supposedly empty.
Staff and maintenance crew claim to hear weird noises late at night in Schiavo Hall on the Penn State Hazleton campus. The building served as a mansion to one of the area's most prosperous families.
Senior Taylor Sweeney, a Stand for State student ambassador, organized stickers Jan. 14 that will be shipped to campuses in preparation for the launch of Stand for State. University Park’s launch is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27, in the HUB-Robeson Center.
