Lone visit to the grounds of St Nicholas' Church and the ruins of St Mary's Abbey, Kenilworth, Warwickshire. Friday 1st November 2013, approx. 3am.

Making my way through the graveyard in the pitch black, upon reaching the ruined gatehouse of the abbey, I was disappointed to find it cordoned off for construction work.

Type: Haunting manifestation; Audible phenomena; Curse

Date of paranormal occurrence: Monks - unknown; Disembodied chanting - late 1970s, 1990s; Doppelgängers - 1997

Further Comments: A procession of phantom monks is reported to have been seen leaving the west door of the parish church, moving slowly down the avenue of trees that leads down to Abbey Field. At the end of the avenue, the procession turns left and continues for a few yards before vanishing. The spot where they disappear was revealed during the excavations to be the main entrance to the Abbey church.

One particular phantom is thought to haunt the area around the ruined abbey and is said to be without a face.

People have claimed to hear the faint sounds of chanting and choral singing while resting in the old ruined church.

Two people in the St Nicholas' graveyard during 1997 thought they were being followed. They stopped, only to realise that the people behind them were them, going through the motions of their own actions moments earlier.

Geoffrey De Clinton promised that if anyone ever tried to take away the land around the church they would be cursed by God - a series of disasters befell many people and companies which tried to redevelop the land during the late twentieth century.
