The Old Parish Hall
by S.W.

About five years ago, my friend John and a few of his friends went to an old abandoned church named All Saints to see if the old stories about it were true. No one was living in it at the time, and it didn't seem like too many people went to tamper or disrespect the old church. After going in the front door, John's friends abruptly turned around and locked him inside, just for a good scare. It was close to midnight when these stories are said to happen, and John was nervous but decided to walk to the front because small silver things caught his eye. As he went closer, he discovered they were silver dollars laying flat on top of an old organ. These caught his attention right about midnight, and as it turned 12 he watched as the silver dollars "stood up" vertically as the organ began to play by itself. He looked again and saw the figures of the church choir appearing as well as the faces of church goes in the aisles. They did not harm him in any way and he did not feel threatened. The church goers sat down and stared ahead at him, almost as if waiting for a sermon. This made John feel uneasy, so he ran to the church door and by this time his friends unlocked the door, and he never went back. I am not sure what happened to those people or if the church had once burned down, but today there are people occupying the old parish hall.
