The 12 creepiest and most haunted Churches that have been abandoned (With Pictures)

2. Warleggan Church

Is anyone else getting a distinct Braveheart vibe from this one? Not so much in the Mel Gibson making impassioned speeches astride a majestic horse kind of way. Or in the patriotic Scottish kind of way. Or even in the extended scene of gruelling and gruesome public torture kind of way. More in the William Wallace sneaking into the snow-covered residence of an English lord and bludgeoning his enemies to death with a spiky mace kind of way.

To be fair, this 15th century stone church doesn’t even reside in Scotland, but in the civil parish of Warleggan, Cornwall, England, so the Braveheart references are a little inaccurate. Still, there is something about the harsh, grey architecture that evokes a sense of political violence and feudal cruelty. Maybe it’s just the low angle of the photograph, forcing us as the viewers to gaze up at the church’s impenetrable walls like dirty, little peasants.
