THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Garrett Memorial Chapel is the subject of local ghost stories involving unexplained lights, shadow figures, and mysterious voices. Visitors have reported sudden cold spots and an overwhelming feeling of being watched while exploring the chapel grounds. Its secluded location has contributed to its haunted reputation.
The sixth-century Norman Gothic-style Garrett Memorial Chapel, aka Little Chapel on the Mount, was constructed by Evelyn and Paul Garrett in memory of their son Charles, who died of tuberculosis in 1929. It is allegedly haunted by at least three ghosts: A priest, a boy, and a woman. Witnesses describe orbs, green glowing lights, a child’s screams, and something unseen that grabs hold of visitors.
