History & local legend

Old Saint Joseph's Cemetery outside Weatherly in Carbon County also appears in local stories under the name Weatherly RD2. Accounts collected by White Haven Paranormal describe a white horse running through the grounds, children laughing among the graves and a passing car that disappears from the nearby road.

Another tale concerns a visitor's photographs. A psychic supposedly warned the photographer to burn them after seeing what had been captured.
