Halifax Window Ghosts

On December 6th, 1917 supposedly a Deacon of the St. Paul's Anglican Church was in the upper loft and his profile was etched into the window during the Halifax Explosion.

that piece of pizza scared me more than the window.

Me too.

Are you sure that's the right window? I know I saw it there once... although it was way bigger than the size of a normal person's head, like at least 2 or 3 times. Either way, I deem this bullshit. Just as much bullshit as the "black window" on that B&B on Robie St.

[AsterixSlashStar]

Yeah I'm sure it's the right window. I went by the picture in the link in the side bar. There's only one where the top right pane is such a drastically different texture from the rest.

You talk about the pizza more then the window .. may as well call the video "My bad tasting pizza & a random window downtown" .........

[JonnysKia]

I have seen it, and indeed it does look like the profile of a man. However, the window was never replaced, it was protected between two panes of glass to keep this interesting image. Nothing spooky about it, just a really cool bit of history to go with the church.

I've been in Halifax, and have seen the silhouette. His outline including frock can be plainly seen.

@AFROMANFAN

It's gone now? I didn't know that. I swore I was there not too long ago and I thought I saw it. Well I was trying to force myself to see it anyways. haha. Well that sucks.

@Lylee666 ,

Er,coz Britain still has strong links with Canada,that's why there are so many places named after English town/cities! So,do you also have a problem with the many places in Quebec which have French twon names? Or do you just reserve your venom for us Brits?!

[TheStaticbullet]

@AFROMANFAN Have you been inside the church? There is a big piece of shrapnel still embedded in the wall inside the front door from the explosion.

[TheStaticbullet]

@mneylu They didn't actually replace the window, they reinforced it with a second pane.

Man I was on that tour last night and the story I was told is that a sailor from one of the ships that had collided with the other ship carrying the explosives had a sailor on the deck and when the exosion happened his head was sent through the air and went through that window.. Now apparently they tried changing that window several times but the mans figure still comes back everytime, you can see it better in the day time.. I'm goin back today to go inside to what's up lol
