Continuing in this 3 part series we go back to Jamaica, to Manchester Parish...
The legend of Skull Point Church - Google Map
You almost have to wonder if it was not inevitable that a church in a place with a creepy name like skull point would end up haunted. Skull Point, located in Manchester Parish, Jamaica is a small community where an ancient courthouse is a national monument. But ghost hunters will find little of interest at that historic spot and will instead be drawn to the abandoned church and cemetery.
Local legend has it that a slave name James Knight became a Christian and began preaching to the other slaves in the area. Upset by his brazenness, the slave owner had Knight killed. The killers then displayed his head stuck on a pole to deter any other slaves from following in Knight's footsteps. It is believed that because of the violence of his death and his denial of a proper burial, James Knight's spirit still roams the land.
