It&#8217;s located near the Butler-Covington county line.<\/p>\n<p>A photo taken at the scene by the sheriff&#8217;s department shows that the wooden church completely burned down and only charred rubble was left in the fire&#8217;s wake.<\/p>\n<p>The fire was spotted around 9:30 a.m. Monday. Firefighters worked to extinguish the flames, but the structure is a complete loss, the sheriff said.<\/p>\n<p>Harden said the church was not in use and didn&#8217;t have power running to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do suspect foul play,\u201d Harden said. \u201cWe&#8217;ve had several arrests over the years of people breaking in and there are rumors that it is haunted so kids go there on the weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No one was injured. The graveyard at the church was not affected.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: right;\">Ghosts, Hauntings, &amp; Cheap Books: Sign Up For My Monthly <a title=\"Newsletter Sign Up\" href=\"http:\/\/annaabner.us7.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=6dd07ad403e6fc06fc2f8db7d&amp;id=f3de6d652f\" target=\"_blank\">Newsletter<\/a> Today.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: right;\">Enjoy this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Free-Red-Plague-Sneak-Peek-PDF.pdf\">Free Red Plague Sneak Peek PDF<\/a>\u00a0full of excerpts and extras!<\/h5>\n<p>&lt;3 Anna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Or, Learn The History Of This Haunted Church Click here to see the original article or keep reading for the full story. &#8216;Haunted&#8217; Butler County Church Destroyed by Fire Written by Lindsey Rogers in Feb. 2015 The Alabama State Fire Marshal&#8217;s Office is assisting in the investigation into the cause of a fire that tore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Haunted Church Burned to the Ground","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[73],"tags":[74,545,77],"class_list":["post-2421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-haunted-house","tag-ghost","tag-haunted-church","tag-spirit"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","views":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Wkl2-D3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2421"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2425,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2421\/revisions\/2425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annaabner.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
