History & local legend
Haywood Cemetery in West Middlesex, Mercer County, has a local legend about a girl appearing at the window of a small house. A version circulating by December 2006 describes motorists losing their headlights after looking toward the building at night. When the lights return, the girl is at the window.
A visitor writing in 2010 asked local readers about a small house noticed at the cemetery. That visitor described the building rather than an apparition, illustrating how the story shaped what people looked for among the grounds.
