This is one of several blogs of haunted places in the United Kingdom's Isle of Man, that was written by Paul Dale Roberts, Halo Paranormal Investigations’ Esoteric Detective (www.cryptic916.com/) . I also had the pleasure of visiting England and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's UK Haunted Place on the Isle of Man:
MALEW CHURCHYARD
There are many famous vampires that we know of, such as Dracula, Edward Cullen of the Twilight series, Bill Compton of True Blood, Nosferatu. Even Lilith and Judas from the Bible have been accused of being vampires in various novels and movies. But, here is a story of a true life vampire named Matthew Hassall. Matthew was just an ordinary fellow until the day he died. Many of his friends and family gathered around at his wake. At the wake he startled everyone by sitting straight up. At that point of time he was declared a vampire and could not be buried on hallowed ground with his deceased wife Margaret. The legend goes that his grave was dug from behind the stone wall that the grave stands against (the old boundary of the church yard) and his body placed inside that way. Just to make sure he didn’t rise again, a stone slab was placed over his corpse and iron stakes and chains cover the grave to keep him in. These chains have remained from the 1800s to this very present day.
