The Paranormal Database explains the haunting:
'The priory and its gardens are said to be home to several phantom monks, including one entity which stands at the top of the tower staircase. A local legend says the priory was due to be built on top of St Catherine's Hill, but every night the building materials were moved to the site where the building now stands.'
The area is well worth a visit and runs regular ghost tours around the town aswell. Christchurch Priory has an awesome air of spookiness.
