Walking my dog today I noticed there was a hole in front of the church there's a do not cross tape around it. It's in front of the street with a wood bars crossing over it it looks like a well and i happen to snap a shot of it and that is what I got from it . It did scare me only because every time I pass through this church something gives me a bad vibe
