Churches used to be a centre for the community. They were open to all classes of society, and through their association with births, marriages, and deaths, often had links to each stage in an individual's life. Add to that their open commemoration of the dead, and churches became a clear focal point.

So it's hardly surprising that the folklore of churches is rather common. Many of these stories here also appear in similar versions across the country, which implies that people came up with similar theories for strange or unexplained events.

Let's find out more about the folklore about churches in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
