Hereford, Eng.—The little village of
Avenbury, which lies in a secluded
valley of Herefordshire, has a haunt
ed church.
The church is of I he Norman peri
od and laics concerning its ghost have
become like household words. There
are many stories of different ghosts
in various forms, but the most aston
ishing visitant Is one which plays the
church organ.
Hears Ghost Play.
"I have heard the ghost play twice
myself,’’ said the Rev. Archer Shep
pard, the vicar. “Some neighbors
brought the matter to my notice
first. They heard the sounds when
they were walking by the church one
afternoon, and thought that it was my
organist practicing. They found,
however, that the church was locked
up.
“The first time I heard the ghostly
playing was while I was gardening.
I believed that the woman who clean
ed out the church was allowing her
child to use the organ, and I went to
see into the matter. The music stop
ped when I was a few yards from the
church, and I found that the building
was locked and empty.”
“This ghost was at Avenbury before
Mr. Sheppard became vicar,” said Col.
Purser of Bromyard. "I told him the
story, but he did not believe it until
he heard the music himself. My chil
dren and I have heard it, and it
sounds like a voluntary. Once my
children were In the church when
there was a groan. They rushed out
Into the chancel whence the sound ap
peared to come, but there was nothing
to be seen.

ing by the churchyard was badly

“Avenbury church has always hud
a ghost. A certain Nicholas Vaughan
burnt down a palace of the Bishop
of Hereford in the Middle Ages. Ilis
ghost was ‘laid’ by twelve clergymen
with twelve candles. A small piece of
tin1 twelfth candle was burnt and the
remainder put in a silver casket under
a stone, which stands ten yards above
tlie church footbridge over the River
Frome. They put a spell on the
ghost not to return until the candle
was burnt out and the casket carried
into the Red Sea.”
