Case Overview
What happened at Rodney Street Pyramid?
Standing in the graveyard of St. Andrew’s Church, this 15-foot stone pyramid is the tomb of William Mackenzie, a Victorian engineer who allegedly lost his soul to the Devil in a poker game. Legend states he was buried sitting upright inside the pyramid, clutching a winning hand of cards to cheat his way out of hell. Modern activity is focused on the “Knocking Tomb,” where visitors document a rhythmic, metallic thumping coming from inside the stone structure at midnight. The spirit of Mackenzie, the “Man in the Top Hat,” is frequently seen leaning against the pyramid or walking the length of Rodney Street before disappearing into the church walls. Recent 2024 audio recordings highlight “intelligent” spirit box responses that mention “the gamble” and “the debt,” accompanied by a sudden, heavy scent of sulfur.
