Ghosts: A Haunted Church

Readers, I couldn’t find anything I liked today so I’m sharing one of my own personal ghost stories.

I studied at an English theological college (Ripon College Cuddesdon in Oxfordshire) and as part of rotating duties, it was my turn to serve as sacristan at the village church, a Norman building typical of those found locally.  It was late fall so it was dark when I opened the door with the huge ancient key and let myself in.  The church was quite open inside, there were no hidden rooms and the sacristy area was simply set off with a screen.  

As I was preparing for the morning service, I heard footsteps.  As I had not heard the door open, I was sure I was alone (who else would be there at 6 am in the dark and chill?).  Looking round the screen, I still heard the footsteps, although I saw no one. The church was always very cold, even in summer, so I can’t say if there was a cold spot, but there was certainly a feeling of being watched. It was uncomfortable and unsettling.  I finished up and departed asap! 

A note:  I always attended the church during service hours after that and when there were many others present, it didn’t feel at all creepy. But I spoke with fellow students and evidently the place was known to be haunted, and I was not the only one to have heard footsteps …

Ghosts: A Strange Dream

Readers, I ran across the story below on Quora, and found it quite interesting – it’s as if the dreamer was visited by a spirit and saw an event as that individual did, or, experienced telepathically a past event.  It’s thought-provoking, certainly. I’ve copied the post in its entirety from Quora below:

What is the creepiest coincidence you have experienced?

Shelia Gulledge

Answered May 22

Just before Thanksgiving (years ago), the wiring in my brother’s house caused a catastrophic fire – completely destroying the home, but more importantly, claiming the life of his youngest 3-year old daughter. Horrific doesn’t begin to describe the details of that night and how the others barely escaped and were injured trying to save her.

Fast forward five years when my own daughter was four. She was having a restless night, so I awakened her to cuddle and comfort. She then told me that she dreamed she died in a fire. She was trying to get out but there was white smoke everywhere and she couldn’t see. (She gave other details that I’ll omit for brevity) She said she wasn’t scared, she just couldn’t see and she fell. She recounted that then she woke up. She never mentioned another word about that dream.

I never asked my brother or sister-in-law about that night because losing their child had a devastating impact on them. Months later, when we (my sister-in-law and myself) were discussing what kind of person she might have been, I asked if I could ask her a personal question about that night. I asked her that besides losing Dee, was there anything that stood out about that experience.

She replied that until they opened the door to leave, the fire was contained within the walls and air wasn’t hot but what she most remembered is that the whole house looked like they were in a cloud because there were billows of pure white smoke.
