The ''Moving Coffins'' of Barbados

By Crusader1307

 Debunkers cite every other explanation possible to rationalize what "really" happened in this strange and well documented Paranormal Case. Perhaps, so will you. The Chase Family emigrated to The West Indies (Barbados) from England in the 18th Century. No evidence shows that they were criminals or slave owners. As members of the Family began to die from "normal causes", the Family commissioned a Family Grave Vault constructed at Christ Church. The first internment happened in 1807. The Vault itself was built underground, constructed of cement and reinforced to keep and ground water seepage from entering the crypt. The Chase Family commission lead coffins to further "waterproof" their remains. All in all, The Chase Vault was VERY well built.

However, in the year 1812, the Vault was opened for another Family internment. Of the 6 caskets found, all were thrown around in disorder. Originally stacked in 3 rows of two, the Vault concrete door was untouched. It could not have been robbers (all belonging were accounted for). Restacked neatly again, the Vault was resealed even better than before. It would take heavy tools and many workers to breach the crypt door. In 1816 and again in 1819, the Vault was opened for internments. Each time after several hers of breaking the door seal, the coffins inside were found "thrown" around!

One night on the 1820s, Night Watchmen reported "scrapping sounds" from the vicinity of The Chase Crypt. When investigated, no evidence of tampering or intruders were seen. After several weeks of hearing the strange noises, The Governor of Barbados (a Chase Family friend), ordered the Vault opened. The caskets were again in disarray. He ordered all coffins interred in different spots through the the Church Cemetery. With this, no further incidents have occurred. The Vault is still in existence, of course empty and unused......for now.
