    Share Share Post
    A house was for sale in the vicinity of Tracton Abbey. It was thought to be on the site of an old Cistercian Monastery and was said to be haunted. Every night at about midnight the chanting of monks was heard. A certain man wished to buy the house, but his family refused to live there on account of the tales they heard of ghosts been seen there.
