Haunted Finchale Priory, Durham - History tour, evps and PSB11 Investigation

Visited for this video on 17 July 2017
Finchale Priory (pronounced finkle) sometimes referred to as Finchale Abbey was a 13th-century Benedictine priory. The remains are sited by the River Wear, four miles from Durham. It is a Grade I listed building.
There are some remains of the early 12th-century stone chapel of St John the Baptist, the site of Godric of Finchale's burial, built some time around the end of Godric's life. Some of the temporary buildings, erected for the first prior and his monks sent to establish the Priory some twenty years after Godric's death, still exist. The monastic complex was built in the latter half of the 13th century, with alterations and additions continuing for the following three hundred years.
The buildings and immediate grounds are managed by English Heritage. The precinct, through which the site is entered, is now a caravan park

another County Durham ruin that is well worth visiting if you ever get the chance

A beautiful ruin in such a beautiful part of the country. Like Elgin Cathedral, I think I would spend a lot of time walking around this priory to soak it all in. Very good EVPs too. Especially those very faint knocks you picked up. And yes, that was a very bizarre malfunction.

Good content Chris. Not surprised at the evps given the history of the place.

*Wonderful* place, Chris! Thanks for posting! I've always been saddened by the destruction that happened during the "dissolution of the monasteries" under Henry VIII. Such horrendous state-sanctioned vandalism.

when i'm back home again

What a stunning place! Would love to have seen it before it was destroyed. Again, it's so hard to imagine these places full of people and life. The spirits seemed pretty active during your visit.

it is a very peaceful place, perfect for coffee and sandwiches by the Wear...i need to take better sessions there though

They seemed a bit unhappy in the undercroft. I take it these were not the monks on holiday. As for Godric he seems to have had a colourful life. His songwriting survived his death and four songs survive. I wouldn't mind hearing those.
