Candlelight Vigil in Saxton PA

   There is a legend in Saxton PA of a young girl that killed in October of 1986. Different versions of the legend exist. One version states the girl was murdered. The girl's family being poor, they had to bury her on the outlying tree line. Another version states she was sacrificed by an occult organization and buried along the outside of the cemetery. This legend provoked a better investigation for myself. Surprisingly, I did witness some truth to this legend. However, I'll leave you to make your own conclusions about the legend.
      Upon hearing the rumors and gathering information about this legend, true to the date, a few friends and myself arrived at the cemetery around 9pm. We walked the loop around the cemetery a few times to get our bearings, then found a place to observe the cemetery in its entirety. Around 10:30, we saw a few flickers of light in the opposite end of the cemetery. We carefully walked closer to where we saw the lights, walked around a mound of dirt, likely left from the remains of graves. Around the mound, astonished, we watched eight individuals in dark clothing conversing. Being at a safe distance, we could not make out what they were speaking about. They seemed to be fiddling with something and using their flashlights. Thirty minutes had passed, and then they started to move. They lined up in a straight line, lighting candles and progressed towards a part of the wood line. We watched in amazement as the legend was being revealed before our eyes. After another thirty minutes, their candles were blown out and then they dispersed into the woods. We stayed back for some time talking about what we had just seen. We sat and watched to make sure that they had left. We then proceeded to investigate the scene. Red candle wax lay in a circle around a lone stone. The stone looked to be carved, but without any writing. Only a lone candle half used stood upon the stone. With closer investigation, all around the area, older and dirty wax was found. This lead to a belief the event or vigil had happened before.
     To this day no new information was able to be found about this strange occurrence. Obituary records do show that a woman had died in the fall of 1986. But no other information as to the death or exact date was able to be obtained. I tried to interview locals with out any luck. Some people didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about. Although, others seemed to be aware of the mysterious happenings of Grandview Cemetery but had nothing to comment.
