The Sexton House

11.20.2005 | 10:10 pm | Kentucky, Russelville, United States

The story goes that a girl got mad at the bad weather on the night of her dance while getting ready in her attic room and looked out the window and cursed at God. She was then struck by lightning that left her shocked imprint on the window. When the window was changed the imprint came back. They painted over it, still, it came through. So they boarded it up. About two years ago a man that lived in the house was found dead by the bedroom door of a heart attack. They do not know what could of caused it. God must still be angry!

    Comment by Jessica | 06.13.2006 | 5:33 pm

  8. “imature”= Immature, and God is with a capital G, no matter where you use it in a sentence.

    Comment by Candice | 06.30.2006 | 3:41 pm

  9. I just wanted to say that Jessica is wrong God is always capitalized no matter where you put it in a sentence.Atleast some people know what their talking about. : )

  10. I’ve heard of this story a long time ago. when I was in first grade, to me it doesn’t make much sence for God to kill anying living being. I mean he’s not evil, any way the story that I heard was, that it was a young girls wedding day and her bride groom had just called it quits. even if that’s true why would good kill again? if there is some type of sprite there killing peopole for the fun of it then why haven’t there been more death’s? which brings me back to the story I’ve heard, the young bride cursed at - mybe she made a pack with the devil to get back at her bride groom and it back fired?

    Comment by kristina | 07.12.2006 | 3:57 pm

  11. I think that God would never kill anyone for any reason because he loves you no matter what. I could believe that she made a deal with the devil to get revenge. But anyway my mother and older sister had told me about this story and we live not too far away from that house even though I have never seen that house personally I can visiulize what that house may look like. I have heard the orginal story more than once on many different occausions. Something else why would you even believe that just for cussing at God he would kill you in any way because I know that before I turned over to the christain faith I had cussed at God when my grandma had died so young and about two years or so later I asked for forgiveness and I believe that he has forgiven me or maybe he would have killed me too if you believe that story and I think that you all are stupid if you even think that God would even think about hurting you for any reason you should go to hell for that and you should be ashamed but like I believe I wasn’t there to watch what really happened so I don’t know the real story but hey if you know for a fact that you had seen what had happened be proud of yourself I guess you won the award for honesty. I am sorry for the girl father that had died in the kitchen or by the same window or whatever and I wish he hadn’t of died for the sake of that girl because I know how it feels to lose a dad. But I still don’t believe the orginal story.

    You heard my opinion and thats all folks!
    Have a great night or day or whatever you guys say!

  12. Alex,

    I see where you are coming from about not cussing at God and good point!

    Comment by Krystina | 07.22.2006 | 11:43 pm

  13. Jessica,

    I do not think you are stupid or a bonehead or anything and anyone who calls you those things as above in the comments are those names themselves! I am a sophmore in college and majoring in English and just to let you know any proper noun which are a directed noun such as a name, a street name, a city, state, country are always capitolized no matter where they are in a sentence! Just a little english lesson there for and I don’t think anyone really expects a seventh grader to know everything. But good try and next time you will know the correct answer.

    Sincerly,

    Krystina

    Have a good one fellow freind!

  21. a few years ago i went to the sexton house and i saw the girls image in the window and it scared me so bad i won’t ever go to russelville again

    Comment by renee | 09.22.2006 | 3:02 pm

  22. Wow. You guys are cool. Cussing at one another and using grammar that is entirely inncorrect. No really….I’m laughing my bum off as I’m reading most of these comments that have nothing to do with the Sexton house whatsoever. I drove by the Sexton house recently and saw that the window was boarded up and I was highly disappointed. I want so badly to see the girl’s face…Just to know that it’s real. And that’s what she gets for cursing at God. Who the hell cares about a stupid dance anyway?

  37. I dont know why all of you are cussing and preaching at the same time… it doesnt make sense to me… when your telling someone about God or are a Christian your suppose to talk different from the world and act different from the world… and do you really think that your really going to get through to someone cussing them out anyway…

    Comment by SurfinJoe90210 | 10.5.2006 | 8:20 pm

  38. There’s a site dedicated to these hauntings: http://www.theshadowlands.net I suggest anyone that is serious about such things check it out. And I also suggest that teachers monitor what students look at, as well as their behavior whilest online. It’s truly a sad state the world is coming too when teenagers are allowed free reign on the net like those three.

    Comment by Kenneth | 10.17.2006 | 2:19 am

  39. This is kind of old now, but I had to comment.

    The God thing being “G” rather than “g” is an a religious thing. It is not in the Greek. Christians, and Jews do it so you will have the idea they they are refering to Yaweh/Jehovah. Just like in some translations, when they use “Y” in you, and “S” in son, its refering to Jesus, or any deity in the trinity. or should I say “T”rinity.

    In other words, is all made up. There is not rule that says you must use one type letter over another. Its done by some people out of respect for why they believe in, and what they hold dear. To say that you MUST use “G” is just flat out silly, wrong, and bias.

    If its part of your practice of religion, great, but to not shove it in someones face. Its not right, and has no basis in fact. If you want them to respect God as you do, convert them, and move them to want to respect your “G”od.

  47. I guess your commenters can nor read, so much for proper anything here. If you’d like to talk religion I’m sure you can find a religous site, obviously some of you need it!!! I have to agree about the monitoring of kids at schools on computers. If this is how they ate now, I’d hate to meet them as adults!! Talk about lame. Anyway you all aren’t worth my time I’ve already spent too much so far. Hey this site is supposed to be entertaining!!! Don’y take all comments so serious lighten up & have fun, probably busted aome bubbles, HUH????

    Comment by GOD | 10.30.2006 | 2:11 pm

  49. ok this story is great but ur comments are pointless…how bout someone that actually has been near or in the house tell what happened

    Comment by king | 11.3.2006 | 1:58 am

  50. I have heard this story told so many times before on other websites. Each time I hear it told or read it,it’s different. So how do we know which story is true?

    Comment by Angelique | 11.5.2006 | 2:33 pm

  51. I realy like that one it is so wierd i realy whant to go to that house but still i dout that is tour but is still freaky!!!

    Comment by Machle | 11.13.2006 | 12:40 pm

  52. God said he would not interfere with the earth. He also has a devine plan. Striking you is not within that plan.

    Comment by lazer | 11.20.2006 | 6:52 am

  53. that is just bull s*** God would never do that!! God said he loves every one uncondiationally and he would never do that it is just some myth and God said to never be hateful. God is not still mad. things happen that people cant explain

    Comment by i LOVE plain white t's | 12.1.2006 | 9:55 am

  54. I used to live in Russelville and I talked to the lady that lived there at that time. The window was painted white then. She told me that they had changed windows and the image would come back. Painting it at that time was the only way to keep the image off. This story came out in the Courier Journel magazine part years ago. They had pictures with the story.
    The image could be seen on a stormy or rainy night. My mom and dad saw the image one night when it was raining.

    Comment by Rhear Martin | 12.6.2006 | 6:23 pm

  55. ok, how do i say it, it was “bad weather” and she got struck by “lightning” while hanging out her “window”.some window frames ARE metal.to me the only fact that she got hit by cursing at “GOD” was just irony.

    Comment by tracy lee | 12.20.2006 | 9:30 am

  56. or mabey the window wasnt metal framed,mabey she had piercings LOL

    Comment by tracy lee | 12.20.2006 | 9:31 am

  57. Look, ever since I could remember I’ve been poppin’ my colla’ and all I know is that this story is DUMB! First of all, God is not this mean person where just because people cuss at him he’s going to “strike them dead”. He’s a nice guy and what he does to correct the “bad people” is he lets them live like “bad people” and then they go to Hell…just like that. He would never strike anyone dead. Plus, I’ve cussed at God many times when I was angry, just because I was dumb and was questioning my belief. I actually told him that I did not believe in him anymore. (I do now, of course, but at the time) and if all this girl did was cuss at him and not question her belief in him then I should have been struck dead as well. Poopy sticks on that girl, the myth busters have spoken…MYTH!

    Comment by Poppin' My Colla' | 12.21.2006 | 11:09 pm

  58. I will not remark on others grammar nor their comments so lets continue. This is about a haunting that did or didn’t take place. I for one would like to have the chance of experiencing strange phenominas.
    For the short amount of time that I lived in Richmond, KY. I can tell you that evil and good both exist in and around but it is on the physical lvl. So I want to know what is beyond that. I also would like to visit the Sexton House. To acknowledge those past and present. Until then my new found friends, good day.

    Comment by Amanda | 12.26.2006 | 3:53 pm

  60. I live in Russellville. I know the Sexton house story well. I have not heard of anyone’s father dying in this house 2 or 3 years ago.

    Comment by the finest | 01.25.2007 | 4:54 pm

  61. I have also looked this house over for years. It is the care taker house for the largest cemetary in Russellville, Ky. Other than the original story about the girl who cursed God and got struck by lightning I have never heard of anyone else dying there. My mother used to work in a convenient store that was located across the street from this window of the Sexton house. If you want to see the Sexton house it is located on W. 9th Street in Russellville, KY. Alan Young car lot is where the convenient store use to be that my mother worked at.

    Comment by the finest | 01.25.2007 | 4:59 pm

  62. It is ironic, the spoiled ***** curses GOD then zap ! She got what was coming to her.!

    Comment by imp | 02.15.2007 | 4:54 pm

  63. This seems like an interesting story and if it were me I would look further into it.. but I do like reading about things like this… all though I do feel sorry for those who suffer from it.

  64. LISEN GOD DOES NO PUNISH PEOPLE ARE THE ONE WHO DO!!!!
    IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT…

    Comment by claudia | 02.23.2007 | 4:53 pm

  65. Wow….I grew up almost across the street from the Sexton House. I lived on Cherry St across from the cemetary. It was the girl who ‘died’, no the father as some of you seem to think. It’s funny how so many people have turned this legend into an argument. Be ashamed of yourselves.Why argue about something you can’tprove or disprove? And for the record, though it made for many good nights walking through Maple grove at midnyte in the early 90’s, I’ve never seen the girl. I wish I had, but she just wasn’t there…. :)

  66. you guys really need to stick to the subject!!!:D but i am the same i lose concentration easily…oooooo pretty stone… do u like stones?

    Comment by 1 kool bean | 03.6.2007 | 2:13 am

  67. I write ghost stories for websites and really enjoy it. I work for a newspaper. I really love to write and read. This story is really UNdetailed. By that I mean that this story is just “blank text” as we say on the newspaper staff. It doesn’t make since. First of all what does it mean “imprent”??? Does it mean the lightning blot imprent?? And second NOBODY knows what God does and what he will do. And third this was just a really stupid story.And if a man died there it
    was either a natural incident or something else.

    Comment by Scary Story Lover | 03.7.2007 | 8:20 pm

  68. that is not true becouse GOD forgives you for anything u do or say to him or about him. and that’s a FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Comment by brycen | 03.17.2007 | 4:16 pm

  69. Okay. All I have to say is… God can kill you he has the right he bought you in this world he can take you out…and if you are a chirstian and your out in the world just being a piece of junk in the way he will take you out cause you aint leading anyone to christ thats all frome me

    Comment by Brittany Gibson | 03.20.2007 | 8:11 am

  70. my step-mom grew up in russelville and whenever we went to her house (back before she married my dad) we would always drive past this house and the window was always painted over but one night i was going over there late and i saw a shadow in the room. not saying it was her, just saying there was somebody or something on the other side of the paint. and there are a lot of different versions, but this is the one i’ve heard most often.

    Comment by Ayla | 03.25.2007 | 4:15 pm

  71. OMGOSH!!!!!! MY DAD LIVES IN RUSSELVILLE AND WHEN I WAS LITTLE I WENT BY THE HOUSE WITHOUT THE CARDBOARD IN THE WINDOW AND I I LOOKED UP AT THE WINDOW AND SAW HER SHOCKING IMPRINT!!!! IT WAS SO COOL BUT SCARY AT THE SAME TIME AND THE GRAVEYARD ACROSS THE STREET IS SO CREEPY. SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY ANYONE WOULD CUSS AT GOD BECAUSE ITS JUST VERY RUDE AND SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-((

    Comment by SHANNON | 03.26.2007 | 10:05 pm

  72. that is the dumbest story i ever heard. God didn’t do that. and that is retarded. not a haunting

    Comment by arrita | 03.27.2007 | 11:49 am

  73. Hello,
    well i think that the girl should be ashamed of herself for cursing at God and i also do belive that you are suppposed to capitalize the name God no matter where you use it in a sentance…

    Comment by taylor | 07.1.2007 | 9:31 pm

  74. The man who died in the house is a relation of mine. He did not die because of a “haunting”, he died of a heart attack (which is clearly stated in the not so accurate story of the sexton house posted here). Sometimes people have heart attacks with no indication that it’s going to happen. It might be a different story if many people had died there, but they haven’t. Don’t attribute his death to the haunting, the two have nothing to do with each other. Secondly, the “image” didn’t come back again and again. The story is that on a stormy night you can see the girl’s reflection in the window (or the now painted window). I have personally never witnessed this, nor do I know anyone who has. The beauty of living in a town with it’s very own “ghost” is having the story told nation wide. The horror of living in a town with it’s very own “ghost” is having the story twisted and butchered nation wide.

  75. I live in Kentucky, but, oh, my God… I guess there must be some basis to all the stereotypes about people from Kentucky after all. Half the people commenting on this site come across as self-righteous, religious-freak hicks who didn’t make it past the eighth grade and/or semi-illiterate bumpkins who need to get out and about in the real world and get a clue! I especially loved the comment by “Krystina,” the “English major” who misspelled “sophmore” (sophomore), “capitolized” (capitalized), who didn’t capitalize “english” the second time as it should have been and who has some major subject-verb-agreement issues with “…any proper noun which are a directed noun such as a name…” I hope your English has improved in the meantime. All you Jesus-freak hilljacks: I don’t have any more time to deal with your many issues, most of which stem from severe ignorance, lack of education, genetic inferiority, and general stupidity. There, I had to suffer through your comments, so you can suffer through mine now.

    Comment by Margaret | 07.12.2007 | 11:13 pm

  76. I can not say for sure if I believe the story about the imprint in the window,but I can say that some of these people need to learn how to spell some of the words they used correctly.

    Comment by debby | 08.3.2007 | 4:38 pm

  77. Wow, is this a kids site….half these comments are horrible. The story is even bad, sounds like a story you hear in wood camping when your 12. I guess the only question is did she even get struck, or is that the way she really died? How did she get struck and it not shatter the window. It splits trees but cant break glass….I got to go with wise tale on this one!

  81. I’ve driven past this house so many times and I’ve heard of this story so many times from local people. My dad who died last year was 87 when he died and he said that the girl killed by lightning because it was storming and who knows who she was cursing. I’d say her parents because they wouldn’t allow her to go to the party because of the storm. All it is in my belief is a bunch of added drama that she was cursing God. Was there anyone else there who heard her cursing. She was simply struck by lightning, something that occurs to many people each year. I believe in ghosts, but this is BS and the man who recently passed away within the past year or so, simply had a heart attack. We all have to die sometime somewhere, we just don’t know when. Our bodies are electrical energy anyway, the heart being an electrical pump. Electrical things eventually play out. Our energy and soul is still around and that is what we feel and see esp with cameras and digital recorders.
    Thanks

Well I am 35 years old and I heard the story of the sexton house when I was like 12, my mother told me the story when we were on the way to my grandmothers house in Tenn, we passed by the house and the windows were painted, who knows if the story is true, maybe the girl just got struck by lightning getting ready for a dance, it happens all the time, people getting struck, and if there was nobody around, how do they know she cussed anyone, and if there was lightning involved, the house should of caught fire, and there has been no talk of a fire, maybe the outcome was she died to quickly and her sprit remained in the house, ?

  88. The story of the Sexton House is true. A young girl did die that night while standing in front of a window and using cursing words against God. About Kelly however he was a cemetary attendant for the city and all the main attendants live in the house with thier families. Kelly did died but at the hospital because I know the family personally. While i have never been in the house, as a child, i did see the silhoutte in the window one stormy night. The window was painted but now has been boarded off so the image does not appear. My daughter was friends with the Kellys family and has been in the house and said at night you could hear her throwing things and cursing and if you go up the steps to the room it is extremely cold even though the house has heating. But she also said if you touched the door during her rampage it stops. But the room is sealed and no one is allowed to enter it.

  91. ive been in the house and the girl did die and ive seen her ghost GHOSTS ARE REAL!!!

    Comment by matthew | 10.28.2007 | 12:52 pm

  92. Well I can’t say whether I believe it or not, Only the girl and God knows. But what I can’t understand is how does anyone know if the girl cursed at God or not unless she had someone in the room with her, I think in that she was struck by lightning from being too close to her window. It is a very wrong to curse at God, You don’t know what he can do, and I also think it’s wrong for people on here to be making fun of this story. We don’t know that it did or didn’t happen. I am the type of person who is like “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Besides this person is only telling a story of what they heard. This is a question to the person who said how do we know that God even existed?…How do you know that he don’t?

  93. I been to Russelville many time to visit my cousin. The house is not far from her home. It a nice looking house with a graveyard behind it. The top window is board up, and also been painted over as well.
    There are different stories about what happen to the girl. She had a dance, wedding, and much more to it. But it still claim to be haunted. That the girl shadow appears when it storms.
    The house and the window. Going to be told down in stories to come. So no matter what you hear from others. Main thing is the girl. Only ones to know the truth, is herself and God.

  94. Some of you do not know what you are talking about. I lived in that house for a very short time and all is true about it being haunted. My twin aunts are burried by the house in the grave yard and they too knew the story. They were 90 years old when they passed and they could tell stories about that house that would make you want to stay up nights. So trust me the stories are true. I saw the image my self or I would probably have dpoubts. Some of you should go visit waverly hills. Npw that would prove a point.

  95. thats just a story to scare you. moral of the story
    DON’T CURSE GOD. And why is everyone more worried about the other comments then the actual story?

    Comment by tara | 11.26.2007 | 3:26 pm

  96. I have heard about this story before…many times. See, I live in Todd county, right beside Logan county, where Russellville is. I go past that house alot and I always have an erie feeling. My mom remembers when they were filming a small movie/documentary about it. I really don’t know if i believe this whole story or not, because im not so superstisious, but i do know that cursing God is wrong and that you can be punished one way or another. So don’t be a dummy and give God your love!

  98. wow that is pretty creepy… Lets go! This is a very intresting story! I am intrested into the paranoemal I watch “A Haunting” and “Ghostbusters”. I think I am getting more intrested into the paranormal! Just wondering… Have and of you all experienced any paranormal activity?

    Comment by Lauren | 03.3.2008 | 8:41 pm

  99. I don’t know what stories are true, but if you have lived there I guess you know. There is such a thing as spirits some good some evil, what we do while we are alive is what decides our afterlife.

  101. My Danielle White and I live in Russellville Kentucky. Every timw I walk by the Sexton House I start thinking about the girl…scary

    (And I don’t want to get an anybodys business but I don’t think we should cuss on this website and God is ALWAYS spelled with a capital G :^D )

    Also go to http://www.tasgreetings/asmileforu.htm for a funny pic that will make your day :)

  102. I beleive Russelville has quite a few haunted places being that me and my family have lived in a place here before that I will forever know is haunted. Look at it’s history as far as the Civil War goes and all. Most of all the cemetaries out in the country are all filled with bodies of the ones that once fought here. Even though the place we lived I beleive was haunted by something much far worse(being it got physical) still I think this town has many ghost.

    Comment by Layla | 03.20.2008 | 9:15 pm

  103. No seriously people it can be true! There is a place in South Africa named ‘voetspore’meaning footprints.

    Legent has it that a farmer cursed God about the bad drought on his farm and then he got struck by lightning.

    Today his footprints can still be seen burnt into the ground where he stood when he got struck by the lightning. Nothing grows there even if it raines.

    So I don’t know maybe it is true…

  104. I hate to tell all of you this but Kelley was a friend of mine as well as his stepson kyle and Kelley’s death was not for no apparent reason. He did have a heart attack yes, but it was not do to a haunting. He died at the home but was not pronounced dead until he arrived at the hospital. As far as the upstairs room in the house the whole thing is now a ceiling and has been for years so you cannot even get to the door of the room because it no longer exists.

    Comment by Sandy | 03.31.2008 | 3:20 am

  105. I could hardly read and make sense of the majority of the comments due to terrible grammar, spelling, and downright lack of knowledge of this house.

    Comment by Danielle Cooker | 04.5.2008 | 11:36 pm

  106. me and my mom have both been in the house it was freaky nd ppl that dont belive it can just not belive….

    But be afraid of the things that go bump in the night!!!!!

    Comment by Ruby | 04.8.2008 | 12:25 am

  107. I would beleive that story, except that God is forgiving, and he would have had no reason to kill that man. You must not go to church!

    Comment by Justine | 04.8.2008 | 12:10 pm

  108. For anyone visiting this blog…there is detailed information on the following link… http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/KYRUSface.html
    I grew up in Logan County and this was a staple ghost story with a lesson, it’s not nice to curse God. I never witnessed the image, but I’ve heard many others say they did. Very few of the witnesses were adults. Draw your own conclusions. Happy fact finding!

    Comment by juel2424 | 05.7.2008 | 11:28 pm
