Cambridgeshire market town haunted by ghostly monks and pub landlady killed in a fire

It’s also believed a nun that was trapped and left to die in a building haunts the town

One of Cambridgeshire’s market towns is believed to be haunted by ghostly monks. As a town with lots of history, it’s one that also comes with spirits and ghosts. Ramsey is considered a “highly haunted town”. Paranormal investigators have investigated several parts of the town.

They claim to have identified ghostly monks and orbs. One very haunted place with some of these spirits is Ramsey Abbey. The abbey was founded in 985 and was home to at least 80 monks. The abbey was dissolved during Henry VIII’s reign. Today, there is not much left to see, except the 15th century abbey gatehouse, the Abbey School, and a parish church with a bell tower.

Another place believed to be haunted is Ramsey’s high street. In 1665, the plague hit Ramsey due to a contaminated coat from London. Those who died from the awful disease are thought to haunt the high street late at night.

The Ale House Kitchen, formerly the George Hotel, is said to be haunted by its former landlady, who was called Mary. Mary reportedly died in a fire after she blew out candles. Ramsey Rural Museum is also said to be haunted. In 2013, a paranormal database reported ghostly activity, where unexplained noises were heard and dark shadows were captured on pictures.

Keeping with ghostly religious figures, Bodsey House is said to be haunted by a nun. It’s reported a nun went to the house in the 14th century to visit her dying brother. However, she was caught and punished by being bricked up in the chimney breast and left to die.
