The 1925 chapel—where the Tetons fill the window.

A site in Moose, Wyoming, Chapel of the Transfiguration is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The 1925 chapel—where the Tetons fill the window. HauntHunt files it with religious heritage, historic sites and local folklore. The presences in its file go unnamed: the chapel dead, the record says. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 2 legends and 1 documented fact, with the verified spine filed separately from the lore. The site is open to visitors.

The Chapel of the Transfiguration was built in 1925 — a log Episcopal chapel in Jackson Hole whose altar window frames the Grand Tetons, the mountains themselves being the altarpiece. The file's documented spine is the design's famous gesture: a chapel built so that the congregation faces the range, the Tetons in the window where the reredos would be.
The chapel's setting — Moose, Wyoming, in the park's early dude-ranch era — is the file's register: a rustic church at the mountains' foot, built for the valley's settlers and the tourists already coming.

FIGURES IN THE CHAPEL
The lore reports figures in the chapel and the dead reportedly seen — the file's haunting being the chapel's own: presences in the log church under the Tetons, the valley's dead reportedly still attending. The file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the reports attaching to a building whose beauty makes it storied.
The chapel's dead are the file's register — a church whose window frames the sublime reportedly holding presences, the valley's congregation extending past the living.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Chapel of the Transfiguration is the archive's mountain-chapel file — a 1925 log church whose altar window is the Grand Tetons, keeping figures in its pews. The documented chapel is the record; the dead in the congregation are the lore.
A chapel that faces the mountains keeps its congregation — the file's suggestion being that the Tetons' most beautiful church holds worshippers the register no longer counts.
