#OTD in 1916 – Joseph Mary Plunkett and Grace Gifford are married in the chapel of Kilmainham Gaol the night before he was to be executed for his part in the Easter Rising.

Grace was the second youngest of twelve children. Her sisters, Nellie and Muriel, were also avid nationalists as well as converts to Catholicism. Muriel married Thomas MacDonagh, who was executed in Kilmainham earlier on the day Grace married Joe Plunkett. It was said of the Gifford girls: “whenever those vivacious girls entered a gloomy Sinn Féin room, they turned it into a flower garden”. Fr…

St. James Cemetery and Church Monk Castle

Lemont, Illinois

Suburban Chicago plays host to many haunts. One of the most haunted being the St. James Cemetery and Church located in Lemont, Illinois. This church was built in 1833 and is the oldest Catholic church in the Chicago area. The church acquired the nickname Monk’s Castle.

It is believed that a group of monks lived at St. James once. If they caught anyone trespassing there at night, they would make them kneel in payer to repent their sins all night until morning. Over the years there have been many sightings of robed monks roaming the cemetery and grounds late into the evening. Sounds of chants in Latin the same as monks practice have been heard coming from the grounds at night even though nobody is around. All of this seemed to be rumor until 1977 when a police officer patrolling the area spotted a bunch of hooded figures walking the grounds. He reported that they moved almost as if floating. After stopping and demanding that they come out, they continued walking up over the cemetery hill. After retrieving his shotgun, the officer pursued. However, once he crested the hill, there was no one to be found in the wide open grave yard.

Another haunt that takes place on the St. James grounds dates back to 1897. A phantom horse and carriage have been seen coming down what is now Archer Avenue and then pulling into the church grounds and stopping as if waiting for someone or something. Then it is rumored, a woman dressed in white has been seen dancing wildly coming out of the cemetery. She gets into the carriage and the carriage pulls away, only to vanish into nothing.

A former pastor confessed on his death bed in 1970 that on occasion he would look out the window of the church and see the ground rising and falling as if it were alive and breathing.

24 February 1815 Fitzjames was baptised at St Marylebone Parish Church, London.

This his certificate and some pics from when I visited the church last year. The font is from Fitzjames' time, & this was the altar on which the 'parents' signed the register. It felt very special to visit here.
