The gothic cathedral is dark -- unilluminated, but for the flickering orange flames of votive candles, and the weak winter light of a gloomy December day that warms the panels of stained glass. A pew creaks. A tiny movement makes a giant sound, owing to the stony acoustics. The pew is creaking from the restless fidgeting of the church's sole occupant.
It would be creepier and more Gothic if something happened, like maybe this lone person was about to confess a murder or something. I don’t usually think of a church when I think Goth, but there are Gothic Cathedrals. Good scene description using active verbs even.
