The Story

Sally Carter is the name most closely tied to Cedarhurst's ghost stories. The teenager died while visiting the house, and a later tale describes her appearing to a sleeping boy to ask that her fallen gravestone be repaired. When his family checked, the stone was reportedly down. Other stories describe a young figure on the grounds, voices, or household objects moving. These accounts form a continuing local legend rather than a verified explanation of events.
