The Holt

A phantom monk is/was seen outside No.5, albeit rarely seen and soon disappeared; he was also seen in the courtyard where he was described as "hazy". The monk has been nicknamed "John" and is supposed to have fallen in love with a nun named Martha and they both drowned themselves in the well in the building in shame. Some years ago, two skeletons were apparently found in this very well. John apparently likes to be greeted when seen. Icy breezes were also felt and during this building's past life as a working men's club, figures were seen on the CCTV system and tin boxes were seen moving, sometimes crashing violently to the floor. Other apparitions reported included a figure dressed in white. A workman tried to go to the toilet but found the door inexplicably locked - and then suddenly it burst open, causing him to flee in terror! There have been other phenomena reported here, too. Whether they persist at the new venue is currently unknown.
