Most Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn is reportedly haunted by several spirits, including that of George Stelz, a former parish clerk murdered in 1897 whose blood is said to be visible in the bell tower stairwell, and two former pastors buried in the church's crypt. The current church building was constructed on the site of a former cemetery, with local legends suggesting that not all bodies were exhumed, leading to lingering spirits on the grounds. Reports of unsettling phenomena at the church and rectory include flickering lights, unexplained footsteps, and a persistent feeling of the presence of others. The Bell Tower: This is where George Stelz was murdered in 1897. His blood, along with his murderer's bloody handprint, is said to remain on a wall in the stairway. The bells are also said to ring on their own from time to time. The Rectory: The rectory is said to be haunted by its own former pastor, Monsignor Michael May, who died in the building in 1895. Priests staying in his former room have heard strange noises and footsteps. Spirits of those buried in the old cemetery are believed to wander the church grounds. One account describes strange, individual strands of fog appearing and disappearing, sometimes feeling like it's trying to grab an arm. The church sits on land that was formerly a cemetery, and the persistent belief is that not all bodies were removed, leading to the haunting. Historical rumors suggest the church's property may have also served as a hiding place for runaway slaves using the Underground Railroad, with hidden tunnels and rooms. Visitors to the rectory have reported feeling like they are not alone, even when by themselves.
