TRINITY CHURCH OXFORD & CEMETERY (Philadelphia)log cabin in 1698

TRINITY CHURCH OXFORD & CEMETERY (Philadelphia)The Oxford Friends first met here in a log cabin in 1698, and a new church was erected in 1711. It still serves as the west wing of the current church. The cemetery is also over three centuries old. Oh, and during one of its' expansions, it's said that the church built a wing right over the graveyard. They used the headstones as part of the building and didn't move the buried bodies. As you can imagine, there are a few disgruntled spooks roaming the grounds. The neighbors are the best witnesses. They report ghost sightings on a regular basis. The caretaker adds that he hears voices and footsteps inside the empty church. Some believe that the spirit of a man who died after a fall from the bell tower haunts the grounds. Others have seen a small girl spook sitting on the cemetery wall who disappears in the blink of an eye. Investigators there saw ghosts walk up the church aisle towards the door, and heard tapping from the church windows. Trinity was closed and locked at the time.
