The Story

Very Local recounts a robed figure believed by some to be the cemetery’s founding priest, seen on the paths or within the chapel. A second tradition describes a large dark dog slipping between tombs and disappearing before anyone can approach. These accounts are separate from the shrine’s devotional offerings.
