Mysterious Church Relocation
Parish church, St Brelade
St Brelade's Parish Church stands proudly on the island of Jersey, Channel Islands, but its construction was nearly thwarted by a series of bizarre events. The church was originally slated for a site over a mile away, but when the workmen arrived on the construction site, they were shocked to find that their materials had been mysteriously relocated closer to the sea. The men spent the day moving everything back to the original spot, only to have the materials moved again overnight. This strange game of cat and mouse continued until the church was finally built on its current site, leaving many to wonder if it was God, the Devil, or perhaps the island's fairy folk who had intervened.
