| St. James Cemetery and Church |
It is believed that a group of monks lived at St. James once. If they caught anyone trespassing there at night, they would make them kneel in payer to repent their sins all night until morning. Over the years there have been many sightings of robed monks roaming the cemetery and grounds late into the evening. Sounds of chants in Latin the same as monks practice have been heard coming from the grounds at night even though nobody is around. All of this seemed to be rumor until 1977 when a police officer patrolling the area spotted a bunch of hooded figures walking the grounds. He reported that they moved almost as if floating. After stopping and demanding that they come out, they continued walking up over the cemetery hill. After retrieving his shotgun, the officer pursued. However, once he crested the hill, there was no one to be found in the wide open grave yard.
