The Ghost Story
The ghost of six-year-old Huey Melvin, who died on Christmas 1905, is said to still play near the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse adjacent to the cemetery. Visitors report hearing a child's laughter carried on the wind, small footprints appearing in fresh snow leading nowhere, and a feeling of childlike joy near Huey's grave despite the mournful setting.
