The Haunting
At this old Roman Catholic church, the ghost of a priest named Father Joe Lechert lingers. It is said that after a church reorganization he was let go, and as a result, he died of a broken heart. Parishioners and altar boys say they have seen his ghostly figure and smelled his cigarette smoke.
People describe seeing Father Joe Lechert and smelling cigarette smoke. Because the location is an active church, the entry now keeps the story respectful and avoids implying public ghost access beyond normal church rules.
