Some stories suggest the haunting stems from the spirits of those buried there. Visitors to the area and those on ghost tours report paranormal activity, like objects moving and unexplained noises, contributing to the street's reputation. One widely reported apparition is that of a nun, a common sighting associated with the area's religious history. Another frequent sighting is a mysterious woman dressed in vintage clothing, adding to the street's spectral atmosphere. Unexplained phenomena, such as paper plates falling or water falling from a fridge, are sometimes cited as evidence of supernatural activity. The core of many hauntings on Church Street is the belief that it was built on top of an old graveyard, disturbing the resting spirits. A former church building on Church Street, the First Christian Church, went bankrupt in the late 1800s and was eventually torn down. The outline of this building's foundation is sometimes still visible.
