In the cemetery of Christ Church Parish Church in Barbados stands
a half-buried stone crypt infamous for its early 19th-century
mystery. Between 1807 and 1812, several heavy, lead-lined coffins
were placed inside, but each time the vault was reopened, the
caskets were found disturbed — despite the massive stone door
being sealed tight with no sign of entry. Governor Lord
Combermere investigated in 1819, sealing the vault with his
stamp, and spreading sand to catch footprints, but when it was
opened again, the coffins had once more been thrown into chaos
with the seals unbroken and the sand untouched. The bodies were
removed soon after, and the vault sealed again, its mystery still
unsolved.
