#LackawannaHauntedTales Are you brave enough to watch "The Exorcist" (1973) tonight under the blue moon? This classic horror film has ties to Scranton, PA! Jason Miller, who played Father Damien Karras in the movie, spent most of his life residing in Scranton. Jason was a graduate of the University of Scranton before starting his journey to fame. After reprising his role in "The Exorcist III," he later moved back to Scranton in 1982 and became the Scranton Public Theatre's ...artistic director. One can say he was "possessed" with the arts. Since his passing in 2001, you could find a bronze memorial of the late actor on Courthouse Square in Downtown Scranton. So while you're binge-watching all of the classic horror films tonight, keep in mind that a Scranton native stars in two of them (I & III)! Happy Halloween! #VisitLackawannaPA #LackawannaFunFact

#LackawannaHauntedTales The former Hotel Jermyn in Downtown Scranton is suspected of having some ghostly guests that never checked out. The building that now serves as residential apartments was originally constructed in 1895. The hotel was once top-rated and hosted many famous actors, historical figures, performers, and businessmen. However, the hotel carried an eerie aura from the start. During construction, a carpenter named Charlies Weiss fell 80 ft to his death. But ...it doesn't end there! Key staff members of the hotel's theater and residents in the building have experienced a spirit named "Eleanor". She is believed to be an actress from the 1930's era who either jumped or was pushed off a balcony on the sixth or seventh floor of the Hotel Jermyn, leading to her death. Eleanor tends to play pranks on people in the building, such as misplacing and hiding others' personal items. An actress who was recently working at the theater said that she always felt as though she was being watched and believed that there was bad energy in the building while she was performing. This eventually caused her to break her monetary contract so that she would not have to perform in the building anymore. A paranormal team conducted an investigation on the theater in 2010 and contacted Eleanor. During the session, the spirit revealed that her last name began with the letter "B" and that the date of her death was May 2, 1940. There are no records of anyone with her name that died on that date. To this day, Eleanor still remains a mystery. *** Thank you to The Lackawanna Historical Society for providing the info and photos! *** #VisitLackawannaPA #LackawannaFunFacts
