On August 4th, 2023, two friends decided to break into a church, which had been closed down for unknown reasons, leading to rumors of hauntings due to strange occurrences.

Author's prepreface: I published this on Vocal two years ago, and on Medium before that, but thought I would resurrect it yet again with just a few changes for Vocal's new Writing community. Hopefully it will get at least a few more views there then it has anywhere else. I happen to think it is quite funny.
