Barbados
The most mystifying ghost story in Barbados deals with the Chase Crypt located in Christ Church. A cruel father named Thomas Chase buried his two daughters in the crypt after they each died at a young age. After Thomas passed way in 1812 and the crypt was opened to put his coffin in, those present noticed that the two coffins of the girls appeared to have been violently thrown across the room. Chalking it up to vandals, the crypt was then mortared shut. However, each time the crypt was open during the next several years the coffins seem to have been moved again. Other family members felt that the spirits of the two girls could not stand having their bodies in the same place as their mean father so they were the ones responsible for moving them. The family then chose to bury the girls and their father is separate places to put an end to the coffins being moved and allow the girls to rest in peace. Browse Barbados vacation packages.
