The 13th century church has stood abandoned for many a year now. It has not been used for christian worship for 30 years. But its remoteness in marshland and corpse-shrouded eerie setting seem to have made it the focal point for gatherings of a sinister kind. Even before this there was reputated to have been the ghostly figures of hooded monks still haunting the place. A correspondent to the Lincolnshire Echo of 11 February 2006 noted how, late one night, in the hollow, empty shell of the church, he and some friends had clearly heard phantom footsteps crunch on the stone floor. Local lore tells ancient, vague stories of spells and witchcraft and is said that this church has been cursed!
Stories first appeared in the 1970's and 80's that the empty church had become the haunt of Satanists, so much that it earned the reputaion as the so-called Demon Church.
There were persistant reports of fires burning in its grounds and strange activities taking place, by January 2004 locals were so disturbed by the goings-on that they forced a meeting between the church leaders and the churches conservation trust to try and decide what action to take - one sad but extreme option being to demolish the church.
The Bassetlaw Ghost Research Group had set up base camp in one corner of the old church during an all-night investigation. They reported that the gloomy oppressive atmosphere of the place appearing to be alomst trying to froce them to leave. Strange noises were heard, and ominous flashes in the sky when the weather was calm. Parapsychologist David Wharmby also stated enigmatically to the Louth Leader Newspaper, "We Saw Small Babies among the gravestones and grass!"
In the hamlet of Skidbrooke itself, the dark rumours surrounding the church had forced one woman to have her house blessed by a priest! The woman said " I felt such bad vibes, the whole place really freaked me out!

Hi i have personally investigated this site on 2 occasions and it was an amazing investigation both times things experiences pushing very odd noises a strong sense of not being alone ( other then other team members lol ) evidence we gained from this invo we have many pictures of fog type substance in picture but not to the eye in only one section of the church . the times on the pictures show that one min nothing there and next picture full of mist . if anyone ever gets the chance to invo this location i would recommend doing so . i know it is very very hard to gain permission as it is village run and the caretaker is not keen but we had a friend start talking to him even started cutting the crass lol so we could go lol  |

We investigated Skidbrooke last night Sat 18th April 2015. With 5 guests. We saw very clearly a monk like figure, very tall at the top of the tower walking around its perimeter. We was all frozen to the spot as we truly couldn't believe what we was witnessing. We also saw the same figure in the doorway & also moving across the church inside from one side to the other.. strange white orb like objects moving,seeing with our own eyes and not through the cameras etc.. also bizzare lights around the gravestones and red. Evidence all on record.
