St. Nicholas Priory is not just a historical treasure; it's a paranormal hotspot of ghostly activities
and supernatural phenomena, and it's one of Devon's most interesting haunted places.
A Glimpse into the Priory's Paranormal Past:
Staff and visitors have experienced an excess of strange occurrences behindthese ancient walls.
Phantoms of Monks: Whispers, fleeting shadows, and even full apparitions of hooded monks have been reported, particularly in the original monastic cells and the ancient kitchen. Could these be the remnants of the Priory's first residents, still performing their chores?
Poltergeist Activity: Objects move, unattended doors open and shut, and ghostly footsteps are common events. Is it the playful antics of an old inhabitant or something more malevolent?
Unexplained Cold Spots: Mysterious, sudden drops in temperature are commonly observed, with guests feeling as though they are being watched or the presence of a strong force.
Disembodied Whispers and Voices: Visitors have reported hearing gentle conversations, prayers, and even personal whispers with no one around
St. Nicholas Priory is Exeter's oldest surviving medieval monastery, with its origins dating back to the late 11th century.
With shadowy figures visible in the dark corridors, guests have reported hearing footsteps when no one else is present. Temperature drops that make you shiver.
A lot of people think it's the spirits of monks, still hanging about in the hushed quiet of the priory. You can almost feel their presence, can't you? Then you've got others swearing blind they've seen a woman in Tudor dress, just standing there, watching, before she fades away into nothing.
