Netley Abbey | Haunted by the GHOST of a monk?!

Welcome all!
In this video, I take a beautiful walk around the magnificent grounds of Netley Abbey.
Located in Southampton in Hampshire, this captivating ruin has stood since the 13th Century and is the most complete surviving Cistercian monastery in England.
Tales of ghostly monks and mysterious underground chambers have cemented Netley Abbey's place as a location of interest to paranormal enthusiasts!
Thanks to the book, 'Haunted Hampshire' by Rupert Matthews for the ghostly tales!

Wonderful....what a beautiful ruin, I love the way they built those arched ceilings. Once again Nic, fantastically well presented with great history. Love em.

Thanks so much for your kind feedback, Mark! I really do appreciate it every time 🙂

[@jodimusicherself]

This was beautifully done, Nic! I always greet magpies, crows, ravens, as is proper. 😊 So lovely to see this gorgeous location while we have a blizzard rolling in. Thank you!

[@walkingthewyrd]

A blizzard?! Oh no! I was really lucky with the weather on this occasion because the rain hit as I left! Thanks for watching, Jodi! 😊

How beautiful, so much to see. I like old buildings. And the music you have with it, so fitting. Thank you for the walk and taking the time to do it. I enjoy it again and again. 😃🤗

That was definitely the Black Monk you caught on camera!😲... and I won't hear otherwise! No old church would be complete without a magnificent yew tree. Nice work, great drone shots too!

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks, David! OK, it was the black monk - we'll go with that! 😄 Thanks as always for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@AdamLambourn]

Amazing Video! I used to live in Netley and spent many a night roaming the abbey grounds looking for ghosts. It's lovely to see you exploring these historical places. It's like I've found a kindred spirit 🙂

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks! I bet that was good fun - roaming around the spooky grounds at night! It's such a fantastic ruin.

[@DaveFord]

What a fascinating place to visit Nic. Looks like you had it all to yourself as well!

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks, Dave! I think you and Logan might enjoy a walk here. Nearby is the Royal Victoria Chapel and the Royal Victoria Country Park just on the coast. All looks very interesting!

[@DaveFord]

@@walkingthewyrd One for the notebook then!

Stunning, absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us along with you.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Hi Julie! Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@fartknocker1978]

nice aerial drone work Nic. 😀

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks, Russ! 😄

[@DontScareClaire]

Another triumph, Nic! 👏 I think I would’ve been the same as you with that woman in the coat… and that photo looked pretty similar to what you captured anyway, so maybe it just captured the back of another visitor? 🤔 always look forward to your videos, keep ‘em coming! 🖤🖤

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks Claire! ❤️ Yes, I saw two visitors who looked like spooky black figures! When you're thinking about spooks, you're gonna see spooks in everything! Great place though. Thanks for watching 😊

[@sarahhartstone6314]

Wow, what an amazing place !!! Great walk Nic 👍👍👻

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks, Sarah! ❤️

[@katep23]

Thank you so much. I really enjoy your walks, and talks, and feel I am almost there with you. Fabulous!

[@walkingthewyrd]

What a lovely comment, Kate! Thank you so much!

[@mrsgeek1]

Another awesome place! Thank you for showing us 😊. Think the figure in black would have freaked me for a moment 😂

[@walkingthewyrd]

It sure did make me sweat for just a second or two! 😅 Thanks for watching, always appreciated 🖤

[@zonabrown9241]

That was spookie

There is so much more to the Abbey that people don't know about. The Sacristy was in fact the Mortuary Chapel, with the Lady Chapel next to it. The Sacristy was upstairs ybt the Redorter. There are numerous tunnels under the abbey, one leads to Netley Castle over the road, another to the nursing home in Fountains Lane, both are blocked up. There is a blocked up passage on site. King Henry's foundation stone is there if you know where to look. There was a moat around part of it. The "Abbot's" house was referred to as his house and a dungeon. The fish ponds where the monks use to fish are still there, but you have to go up a privated road to access them. Sadly the abbey is becoming subject to vandalism, the murals in the Mortuary Chapel and the Chapter house still can be seen.

[@walkingthewyrd]

Thanks for this information, it's all really interesting.

What a beautiful ruin, if I had somewhere a box with millions of pounds, I would buy the ruin and restore it and turn it into a house again, but unfortunately I don't have that much money so it will always remain a ruin. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@walkingthewyrd]

😆 Where are those boxes of millions of pounds when you need one?!

The Ghost monk is upset since the church he was part of promised him heaven and he only got stuck in hell. If you give us your tithes and service we will promise you something that will never be delivered. Thats man made organized religion.
