The spooky art installation, featuring dozens of creepy ghosts, has saved the church (Caters)
A 'cursed' church has been saved from closure thanks to a spooky art installation featuring dozens of creepy ghosts.
St George's church in the Czech village of Lukova was left to rot after part of the roof collapsed during a funeral service in 1968.
Believing this to be a sign of bad luck, locals abandoned the medieval church and it was left to deteriorate for more than 30 years.
