Three Kings Church

The legend that goes around the spookiness of this church dates back to the colonial era when the Portuguese empire ruled Goa. As the story goes, this church was ruled by three power-hungry kings who often had disputes regarding the ruling rights over the region. All of them desired to rule alone but could not bring these disputes out in the public due to some limitation of Portuguese Diplomacy.

Tired of the ongoing fights, one of the kings, King Holger Alvunger invited both his brother to supper with a plan. He had poisoned his brother’s food. This was as people claim “Their Last Supper”. As his schemes came out as a success, he declared himself as the sole ruler of the area. However, the public soon got aware of the cunningness of the king and decided to chase him. The king mindful of his fate ate poison and committed suicide.

It is believed that the people buried the bodies of the three kings in the premises of the church. Since then people who have visited the church at late hours have felt a presence in the premises of the building.

Interestingly, the claims of the presence of the spirits have also been supported by the Indian Paranormal society. In fact, the locals advise not to visit the church at late hours of the night of the three king’s feast as they believe that those who do are never seen again.
