Ghost Stories from Netley Abbey

Delve into ghost stories, phantom monks, legendary beasts, and persecution! Embark on a journey through over 800 years of history at Netley Abbey, revealing true tales of spectres and shades, and be captivated by eerie stories that come alive after dark.

Unlike other ghost walks, we bring you the genuine hangman’s humour of history through its myths and legends. Our storytellers will guide you through the Abbey’s dark and forbidden history, dodging shadows at every corner. Uncover ghostly tales—including the legend of the phantom monk 'Blind Peter' guarding his hidden treasure, and the deadly curse that struck down the Tudor builder who dared to demolish the church! Explore the origins of myths and legends, and discover the scientific side of paranormal occurrences through centuries-old stories.

Join our darkly humorous ghost tour in the heart of a haunted Abbey; together we'll explore the ruins, learn a little, laugh a little—but scream a lot!
