Curious about the legendary spring water, I ventured into St James’ Cemetery to taste its rumored magical properties
The cemetery itself has this eerie vibe, especially on a foggy day. It felt like stepping into a gothic novel, which made it the perfect backdrop for my little adventure. The spring is tucked away, just a small hole in the wall, but there’s a plaque above it that’s pretty worn out. It has some poetic lines about charity and giving, which adds to the whole mystique.
I took a deep breath, cupped my hands, and took a sip. Honestly, I was surprised at how fresh it tasted! Some folks might think it’s gross to drink from a cemetery spring, but I felt okay after reading that the whole black water myth was debunked. It was crystal clear and super refreshing. I even went back for a second sip!
If this water really has magical healing powers, I’m all in. But even if it doesn’t, at least I enjoyed a cool drink in such a beautiful, atmospheric spot. Who knows what other secrets this place holds?
