St Peters Roman Catholic Church (Harpers Ferry) | Our Haunted Travels

On July 13, 2017 we visited Harpers Ferry, West Virginia and one of our stops was the St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter's Church has a very long history and has survived many battles of the American Civil War, thanks to Father Costello.

St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia occupies a prominent location on the heights above Harpers Ferry.

Construction on the St. Peter's Catholic church began in 1830 and was completed around 1833. It was the third church built in Harpers Ferry, and sat on land previously owned by Robert Harper. Over the years, it has been enlarged and renovated, but has been in continuous use since the late 1800s.

During the Civil War, St. Peter's was the only church to survive the fighting. Father Costello is accredited with this feat. He chose to stay with his church throughout the war, and whenever fighting started up, he'd fly the British flag over the church. Fearing an international incident, neither side ever fired on the church. The church WAS used as a hospital, however, and Father Costello himself helped care for patients.

PANICd Paranormal History Profile - Our Haunted Travels is a series of Paranormal History Profile that we provide the history of the location, the ghost stories and folklore, the paranormal claims, our personal experiences, and why we believe the location could be haunted.

Ghost Stories and Folklore are Paranormal History Profile that will cover the paranormal claims at the particular locations.
