It's one thing to hear an urban legend, but it's another to actually put yourself in the place where the legend happened. Realizing the truth for you is one of the main reasons behind the many different stories told from myths and legends. But one of the problems with passing down these stories is the lack of historical evidence. Anyone can relate their own personal experience of something that may or may not have happened, but solid background information is essential to making it truly believable. This is why I am led to believe that the story of the Nunnery, based in Logan Canyon, has too many fictional angles surrounding the legend. Built in 1910 by Hezekiah Eastman Hatch, Hatch's Camp (later called St Ann's Retreat, but more commonly known as The Nunnery) has had plenty of time to surface mysterious information about a tragedy. Many of these stories are told by local teens/young adults to visitors, many of whom attend Utah State and are intrigued by the information provided. Variations of the story range from nuns carrying children of the devil to ghost dogs chasing you if you enter without permission or even children born to nuns being killed or scarified in the pool or fireplace. Although they tell excellent ghost stories while camping in the canyon, the facts behind Hatch's Camp will make this story less scary. Chad Godfrey is the current owner of the retreat and I had the opportunity to speak with his sister, one of the caretakers. , Lynette Godfrey. One of his stories is that his family spent most of the summer of 2009 repairing the retreat. Having so many children breaking into the many buildings on the grounds, destroying and vandalizing, including but not limited to breaking doors and windows and stealing/burning belongings...... middle of paper......ng on less than On 3 acres, the convent has many false allegations that it has developed over the years. These claims have led me to believe that this so-called haunted area is nothing more than ghost stories. Originally laid out in 1910, the spacious lodge and cabins were designed by Hezekiah Eastman Hatch, who was one of the first to place a cabin in the canyon. Hatch's Camp was later owned by L. Boyd Hatch and Floyd B. Odlum who expanded the retreat in the 1920s-30s. Floyd B. Odlum was one of the ten richest men of that era and he and L. Boyd Hatch helped establish the summer camp as a retreat that would accommodate many friends and family members. Among the visitors were celebrities linked to the Hatch/Odlum duo. Following the duo, the Catholic Church used it as a retreat for nuns, but only for short periods, which leads me to believe it shouldn't really be called a convent..
