Malew Churchyard in Castletown, Isle of Man, dates back to the 12th century and is the site of St. Lupus Church. The churchyard contains numerous ancient graves and monuments, including Celtic crosses from the 7th to 11th centuries. The church itself was rebuilt in the 19th century, but parts of the original medieval structure remain.

The churchyard is known for several reported paranormal occurrences. One of the most famous ghostly tales involves the apparition of a young woman in a white dress, believed to be the spirit of a jilted bride who died of a broken heart. Witnesses have described seeing her wandering among the gravestones at night, sometimes accompanied by the sound of weeping.

Another frequently reported phenomenon is the appearance of mysterious orbs of light floating above the graves. These orbs have been captured in photographs and are said to move erratically before disappearing.

Visitors have also reported hearing unexplained footsteps and whispers when no one else is present in the churchyard. Some claim to have felt sudden cold spots or experienced an overwhelming sense of sadness in certain areas of the graveyard.

One particularly chilling account involves the sighting of a dark, hooded figure near the church entrance. This entity is said to vanish when approached, leaving witnesses with a feeling of dread.

The churchyard’s paranormal reputation is further enhanced by its connection to the Manx witchcraft trials of the 17th century. Some of those accused of witchcraft were buried in unmarked graves within the churchyard, leading to speculation that their restless spirits may contribute to the reported supernatural activity.
