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.
