This site is known for a harrowing experience said to have happened on All Souls Day (November 2) in the 1960s. Reports say a small gathering of parishioners witnessed the organ begin to play by itself as 6 robed monks, 3 in red and 3 in white, advanced toward the churchgoers. When they tried to flee the church, they found they were locked in. In about two minutes the organ music and visions faded, and to end the incident, a disembodied voice was heard to say “Pray for us.”
