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.
