St. Mary’s Church
The apparition of a young boy named John Daniel, who was murdered in the 18th Century, haunts St. Mary’s Church. His spectre allegedly appeared to many of his school friends and stated the identity of his killer, but nobody was brought to justice. As a result, some believe that his tragic wraith can still be seen, and the best date for an encounter is 27th June.
