The Stained-Glass Window at St. Catherine's, 1998
from Bound in Black — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
In the winter of 1998, the old St. Catherine's Church on the outskirts of Melling, Virginia, was being deconsecrated. The building was sold to a developer who planned to turn it into a boutique hotel, but one thing held up the sale: the stained-glass rose window over the altar. No one could explain why the window showed a figure that didn't match any saint in the church's records. Luna's grandmother was the parish secretary in 1998, and she kept a journal of the weeks before the demolition crew arrived. What she wrote about the window — and about the man who came to see it every night — stayed locked in a metal box until after her funeral. This is that story. It's about what the window showed, who the man was, and why the glass had to be removed in complete darkness. #StCatherinesChurch #MellingVirginia #StainedGlass #RoseWindow #1998 #Deconsecration #ParishRecords #NightVisitor #GrandmotherJournal #WrongSaint #VanishingFigure #Demolition #LunaStory #WinterHorror #SmallTown #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #BoundInBlack Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
