Pennsylvania's Abnormal Who's Who

Investigation #1 Katy's Church

Home | Investigation #1 Katy's Church | Investigation #2 Bald Top/Woods Outside My House

There has been a book written about it, countless stories of brave individuals that have broken into it and seen a glimpse of Katy Vandine, and legends that have been passed down the family tree for years. Katy's Church, you all know the rumors, Katy Vandine was a young girl in love during the civil war and was engaged to a young handsome soldier, sadly her fiance died on his way home from war, she was so distraught she hung herself at the largest tree at the church in her wedding dress. Another not so popular legend states she became pregnant out of wedlock and was shunned by her family,friends and the entire town. To end the pain she was feeling about this she went to church and hung herself in a white dress, white to symbolize purity ofcourse.

Now we all have heard the rumors since we were young, and decided we needed to finally check it out, i spent hours looking up information, calling family around the area to find directions, and finally we got the exact location of it. We went there in the late afternoon/ early evening. We were both excited to find it, and one of our investigaters looked for a way inside the church while i stayed in the cemetery looking for her grave, and i found it pretty fast, it does face a slightly different direction then the rest. Just like the rumors, i took tons and tons of photos, and attempted to communicate with her. I figured we had similarities (age,name,know all about heartbreak) and talked to her about it. Never did get an answer back tho. Turns out theres no way into the church, everything is boarded up and locked. There were obvious marks from peoples attempts to get inside the church that ended in failure.
