Dog Won’t Leave Church Until Pastor Follows Him To Strange House
Mysterious Dog
He sneaked into the church unseen, but when he was noticed, the pastor did all he could to get him out. It was futile. The dog was there for more reasons than he was.
He sat quietly in front of the congregation. His head was tilted down, his sights set on something ahead. He appeared to be possessed. What precisely was he looking at? The town was captivated by the mystery surrounding the church and the dog.
The Pastor
Pastor Gregory Malroy had been giving sermons in the Santa Maria Assunta church for more than a decade. He had seen all types of people pass in and out of his church doors – and he could name most of them.
Pastor Malroy was a kind and devoted man who spent the majority of his days being of service to others. He provided sermons and confessions and helped out with numerous charity events and organizations around the town. As far as everyone knew, he was a real-life saint.
Small Town
The town of San Donaci was small. It was a place where everybody knew everybody, so when one small mystery happened to find its way into the church, superstition and rumors engulfed the town.
When the dog first entered Pastor Malroy’s church, he tried to lead him outside. He was a German Shepherd, and he seemed old and very stubborn. Under pressure to start the sermon, he let the dog stay. Churchgoers laughed at the adorable dog, but there was nothing funny about this.
Winning The Church Over
The dog was calm and quiet during church. He didn’t bother anyone. Instead, he just sat down and hung his head, staring at the left side aisle of the churchgoers.
He was so well-behaved that when the service ended, people came up to pet him. Pastor Malroy did too. “You’re not so bad, ay!” Pastor Malroy said, taking a liking to him. So when the dog kept showing up to the church, again and again, Pastor Malroy was more than willing to let him stay.
But then he noticed something strange.
Constant Staring
He didn’t think much of it at first, but when he saw the dog return to the exact same pointed position every day, he wondered what on earth he was so fixated on. He remembered hearing people whispering about the dog’s strange behavior and joking that it was like he was looking at the dead.
But standing at the altar, behind the dog, he couldn’t see any of this, so he looked at the church’s security cameras to find out. What Pastor Malroy discovered left him speechless.
