The Story

HauntedPlaces.org records robed figures chanting in Latin around the St. James grounds, a ghostly horse-drawn carriage and a woman in white moving in an energetic dance. The associated Monks Castle name is retained as an alias, not a second counted site. Concise original paraphrase of an attributed folklore source; historical details not independently established.
