The old Tuscorora Academy is home to Juniata County's most famous urban legend. This girl's school building was thought to be destroyed in a fire in the late 1800s, but its' claim to fame is a murderous hired hand who did his dirty deed years earlier. Depending on the version, a gardener (or janitor) killed and perhaps raped some of the female students and buried them in a nearby field. The ghosts of the girls allegedly will chase you if you're on the grounds.
The site is desolate and spooky enough, being beside an old church and cemetery, and it's said that the ghost of the killer sits on the church steps. There are sounds of girls sobbing and crying, a female voice singing, sightings of a demon dog with red eyes, and the spook of a man dressed in black. Supposedly if you climb up the stairs of the remaining school building and put your name on the wall, you'll die. It's alleged that there are three names written on it, and they're all of high school kids that met premature ends. Many report having trouble starting their car.
