St Olaf Kirk 1886
I fell in love with this church so I am posting another photo and neat stories.
While my wife and I were here a young man came up and took several pictures.He told us he grew up nearby and went to Church here when he was young.
We all went in and he was telling us all about the Church. Then he told us about the stories of Ghost in the Church.
Below are a couple of stories.
The old church was first thought to be haunted when a group of photographers went there to snap pictures of the building for a historical film.
While they were there, one of them decided to sit down at the piano & play a few bars.
Voices began to become audible behind him. He couldn't hear the voices as he played, but his fellow photographers heard them, & thought it sounded as though they were singing.
They searched for the origin, only to find nothing. Years later, the group returned to the church, this time with a reporter from the Fort Worth Star Telegram joining them.
6 people heard the mysterious voices on that visit. The songs are said to be sung in Norwegian language.This was a true Scandinavian community where Norwegian was the primary language although there were Danes and Swedes here as well.
St. Olaf's Lutheran Church. It's on FM 182 in Norse, between Clifton and Cranfills Gap
