Ghost story
The death knock in the Dome Church chancellery
The chancellery of Tallinn's Dome Church on Toompea is housed in a separate building on Kiriku Street, behind the church itself. Historian Professor Mäeväli of the City Museum told In Your Pocket of a creepy belief linked with it. From time to time an unexplained knocking is heard inside the building. Whenever that happens, locals believe, someone inside is about to die. The magazine noted that almost every house in the Old Town is said to be haunted by some spirit. It admitted it had no documentation at all for this story, but found the idea so disturbing that it decided to share it with its readers anyway.

Toompea toomkiriku kantselei asub kiriku taga Kiriku tänaval eraldi hoones. Linnamuuseumi ajaloolane professor Mäeväli, kes aitas ajakirjal vanalinna kummituslugusid koguda, rääkis ajakirjale In Your Pocket sellega seotud õudsest uskumusest. Aeg-ajalt kostab hoones seletamatut koputamist. Kohalikud usuvad, et kui seda koputust kuulda on, peab keegi majas olijatest peagi surema. Ajakirja sõnul räägitakse peaaegu iga vanalinna maja kohta mõnd kummituslugu. Ajakiri tunnistas, et sellele loole puudub igasugune dokumentaalne kinnitus, kuid mõte tundus nii häiriv, et otsustati see lugejatega siiski jagada.
