Saint Anne's Retreat, Dylan Cahoon
Saint Anne's Retreat, Dylan Cahoon
USU Student Folklore Fieldwork
I first heard of the nunnery when taking Lynne McNeill’s folk lore class my freshman year in 2012. Back in my freshman year I was much more adventurous and have always loved ghost stories and legend tripping, so I set out to find the nunnery. The first time that I found a group willing to go with me was my sophomore year. A couple apartments in my complex decided they wanted to tag along, so about 3 cars worth headed into the canyon. It had taken us days to find the right bridge, but we were confident that we had …

We had heard that nuns who were pregnant or had broken rules were sent there as sort of a punishment and to exile them from other nuns. We heard that one nun had had her baby while up there. She wanted to run away with the baby so that they couldn’t take it away. She set her baby in the woods so that at night she could come back and grab the baby and run. When she went back to get her baby it wasn’t there and the other nuns had drowned it in the pool. So a group of …

I remember my freshmen year I found myself in a group of friends who loved doing things late at night, our group was mostly led by a few upperclassmen who had lived in Logan longer and knew all the do’s and don’ts of the town. One night, my friend Dylan Cahoon decided to enlighten us with the tale of the nunnery. It’s tough to remember all the details but supposedly back in the day there was a nunnery located in Logan canyon and a nun had gotten pregnant and tried to keep it a secret. After the nun had given …

Back in my freshman year I was much more adventurous and have always loved ghost stories and legend tripping, so I set out to find the nunnery. It became my go to story to tell people, and the second time I went was the most interesting. I talked about 15 people into going, however when we pulled up there were only about 6 that were actually willing to go. We stood on the road side of the river as cars passed because …

Every student that goes to USU hears the story of the Nunnery. How its haunted by the spirits of babies that were drowned in the swimming pool. In our junior year we took a big group of younger kids out to the Nunnery. Probably 3 or 4 cars full of us. It took us a little while of driving through the canyon to find the right spot. During that time we saw an old rusty truck parked in some bushes. But when we drove past it again it was mysteriously gone. When we were about to go onto the actual …

Every student that goes to USU hears the story of the Nunnery. How its haunted by the spirits of babies that were drowned in the swimming pool. During our sophomore year we went out to the Nunnery on a dark, rainy night. Which made it much creepier. We had a decent sized group, maybe a dozen or so. We went around looking at the spooky, run-down old buildings. Then we went inside the main building. There were bats flying around and signs that someone been their recently so after some brief exploration we left.

Dylan told me about the nunnery my sophomore year of college, however it was my first year at USU. I remember it being about how any nun that got pregnant would be moved to the nunnery in Logan Canyon to have their baby drowned in the swimming pool and then the nun would usually be killed too. I had only lived in Logan a month after transferring and didn’t know too many people, so I jumped at the chance to go on an adventure and asked if we could go. It took us a couple tries to find it, but …

I heard about the nunnery from my neighbor in pineview, Dylan Cahoon. We were having a game night and he told us a story about a nun that was sent into a nunnery in the canyon from Salt Lake because she got pregnant, and when the baby was born they drowned it in the pool and sent the nun back to Salt Lake and she was told to never tell anyone about the baby. After the game night my roommate Hayley seemed obsessed, and went multiple times with Dylan to adventure in the canyon and find it. I think it …

Alright, so I remember that you told us the story when we were at the pineview apartment playing games. You asked us if we had ever heard of the nunnery and most of us hadn’t because we aren’t from here, and then you told us the story about how when a nun would get pregnant they would be sent up to the nunnery in Logan canyon and they would drown the baby when it was born. Then something about ghost babies in the pool. Anyways I remember that we all wanted to go, and we decided that we would later …
