The remains of a 13th century Priory, are haunted by Augustinian Monks who once worshipped at the Priory. 70 years ago Mr and Mrs Joseph Conrad were out for a drive in their pony and trap one autumn evening.
On there trip the pony cast a shoe and upon stopping near the site of Bilsington Priory Mrs Conrad had first hand experience of the Monstatic apparition:
“Suddenly I heard a terrified whimper from the dog. As I gazed at the opposite wall, which seemed to dissolve before my eyes, the room was filled with a choking dust and gritty fog, and through the haze I saw a long procession of habited monks. Slowly they passed along a hidden flight of steps, their wooden patterns sounding in ghostly rhythm as they climbed.”
