    I’ve seen an actual picture of the lady kneeling over the grave. One of my coworkers had the picture that was tested and determined not altered.

  2. When I was a teenager. I was with my boyfriend and we walked by and the doors open. We went in to check it out the organ was playing and the doors closed behind us without anyone there and locked us in for about 15 mins. Then we checked the door and they then opened. I knew we were played with by a spirit. I now know I am a light worker.
