The Grave That Answered Letters
You could write to your dead — and sometimes, they wrote back.
In 1974, a caretaker at Saint Agatha Cemetery found an unmarked mailbox beside an old gravestone. Locals started leaving letters — confessions, apologies, prayers.
Weeks later, replies began appearing. Short, typewritten notes. Each one answered the writer personally:
“You were forgiven long before you asked.”
“Stop visiting at night. The others get jealous.”
“Yes, it was me who closed the window.”
When police investigated, they found the mailbox empty — but the letters matched the deceased’s old handwriting.
Today, the box is gone. But sometimes, visitors find envelopes at the gate with their names already written.
No one ever remembers leaving them.
