Michelham Priory

There are many reports of phantoms here, including a white horse without a rider, medieval canon in the gatehouse, a woman who walks a little dog on a lead through the gardens, a "Grey Lady" in the gatehouse, and a woman who gazes sadly into the moat where her children drowned; some of these latter stories may refer to the same characters. Additionally, it said that the grey lady whose children drowned also killed herself and her small dog; one evening decades later, an investigator reported being chased by a similar animal in the same area. Additionally, a man in a cloak was seen descending down a staircase that no longer existed before heading through a doorway, with a woman in Tudor garb following him. Other occurrences include furniture moving by itself (making a very loud noise and leaving a figure of eight scratch on the floor), the smell of lavender, music being played on a harpsichord, poltergeist-like activity and figures on or near stairs. One of the guides reported conversing with a little girl aged 6-10 in the corner of the Prior's Room before she vanished; he also talked with a red-faced cook or chef with a very long knife working on a piece of meat on the spit in the kitchen.
A man in medieval costume has been seen during a festival, and he was thought to be a re-enactor. However the witnesses opinion changed when he vanished from sight. He was described as wearing a "velvety looking coat with gold braid trim and gold buttons ... down to mid-thigh [and] dark coloured trousers." The witness talked of the manager at the time telling her of items going missing or moving in her flat.
