Previously, the site was the location of a holding house for prisoners long before the school was constructed. There are tales of mistreatment of the prisoners who were brutally beaten and sometimes left to starve. Many murders and deaths took place there in the prison. The dead prisoners were buried at the grounds in unmarked graves. Years later, the school was constructed on the site. Apparently, sometimes at night you can see the prisoners walking the school grounds. Many strange noises and reports of poltergeist activities have been reported within the school.
If anyone can add any more details, please post a comment. This sounds like a really creepy haunting...

Archbishop Prendergast High School – Drexel Hill, PA
This school was also formerly known as Monsignor Bonner High School. Serving several different purposes over the years, this building has had some share of bad history.
A nun committed suicide by hanging herself in the bell tower. Although the tower has been sealed off for years, she can be seen looking out of the tower on occasion. The tower bell will also sound unexpectedly and candlelight can be seen in the windows.
