The Sinking Bell Legend
Off the Coast, St Helier
Out in the choppy waters off St Helier, a spine-tingling legend has been making waves for centuries. They say that back in 1551, the church bells of Jersey were ripped from their towers and shipped off to France, but fate had other plans. The vessel carrying the bells met its demise just after setting sail, sending the precious cargo to a watery grave. Locals claim that to this day, anyone who hears the eerie ringing of those lost bells while out at sea will never make it back to dry land.
