GHOST AT AN ORGAN
An ivy-mantled village church at Avenbury, England, which has no steeple, and the slates of which are tumbling from its tall tower, is declared to be haunted by a beautiful goldenhaired woman, whose ghostly fingers play glorious music on the organ, and a dead verger, who tolls the bell as a warning of an approaching death in the village. The Rev. Howard Henry Archer Shepherd, vicar of Avenbury, who died recently, had always thought that the church “was peculiar.” He stated on several occasions that he had heard the organ being played at night when the church was empty. He described the music “as marvellous, and far beyond the powers of anybody in the village.”
