Home to a mythical ghost .......... The White Lady!
One of my favourite places to explore with our dog is Grace Dieu Priory - the Priory was founded in around 1235 and remained active for around 300 hundred years before being abandoned in around 1538.
Today you can walk around the ruins and I think you can still feel the energy from the original Priory! The best bit for me is that is it open to the public but rarely do you see anyone else, so you have the whole place to yourself.
There are tells of a haunting from a lady in white and ghost hunting groups often visit in the hours of darkness - my visits are exclusively daytime and with my dog for protection against any paranormal happening! There have been many heavily documented sightings and most say they've seen white or grey apparitions with no hands or feet, hovering just above the ground - this has been seen both in the daytime and night eeeeeek!
We took some friends from Canada there for a picnic to watch the sunset and they ranked it as one of the best things they did the whole time they were in Europe. We stayed at the site for a good few hours enjoying the surrounding, but just as the sun was starting to set a storm rolled in with some loud claps of thunder and lighting - we ran back to the car quickly as the rain started to pour!
If you ever find yourself in the area, you can find the ruins in the village of Thringstone, Leicestershire and I would heartily recommend it.
I also used the ruins to film my picnic series, so check those out on Steemit!
Big hugs for now
