According to legend, Jesse was a young novitiate who became pregnant and was removed from her convent. She is said to have ended her life in a house nearby and haunts the house to this day. Residents of the house say that Jesse is not a scary ghost and the home feels very peaceful. Jesse is said to be more active around Christmas and watches over the house.

This series does not set out to prove or disprove the 'trueness' of these stories. Rather, it presents the folklore, myths, and urban legends as the story has been shared. Whether Jesse was a real person or not, we are unsure, but stories of Jesse have been told in Chatham for many years.
