We are very pleased to announce a totally brand new ghost hunting location, situated in the beautiful
countryside of Leicestershire: LANGLEY PRIORY.
*YOU CAN ONLY INVESTIGATE THIS LOCATION WITH US*
- Be one of the FIRST to investigate this fascinating property -
LANGLEY PRIORY, Leicestershire – June 26th 2010
- what ghostly activity lurks within this private home? -The history of LANGLEY PRIORY is an ancient and varied one, giving this privately owned property plenty of time to acquire something otherworldly…
HISTORY
Founded by William Pantulf in AD 1154, Langley Priory – which was of the Benedictine order – remained an important part of the local area, until Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536.
As with so many buildings of this type during the Dissolution, the original structure that was Langley Priory was torn down. The two wings of the present house were built in 1570 by re-using the Norman stone from the ruined Castle at Donington, itself said to be a very haunted location. Further building work saw the middle section linking the two wings being built in 1690, with a Victorian annexe being added to the North Wing in 1888.
There is no doubting that Langley Priory is a beautiful building, and was described in the 1840’s as “one of the finest manorial type houses in Leicestershire”. The house is home to a fine collection of sixteenth century tapestries and some beautiful medieval stained glass.
Langley Priory is a Grade II* listed building, and remains a private family home.
*Both Phil and Sara recently visited Langley Priory at the request of the owner, and and came back genuinely excited at the prospect of investigating this location.
GHOSTS & HAUNTINGS
With all the history that Langley Priory has seen, it may come as no surprise to hear that there are many a strange and unexplained incident happening within…and outside too.
It is not often that we are personally asked to consider a location for our events, and to help uncover what is happening. Dead Haunted and you – our guests – will be very much setting a precedence here, helping to document and record for the very first time just what it is that goes bump in the night at Langley Priory…Join us on this fascinating adventure.
THE BURIED MAN
Langley Priory has seen many deaths over the years, and indeed there are countless bodies buried just beyond its welcoming doors; many of them would have been nuns who very often lived their whole lives here.
During recent works outside in the grounds the body of a male was accidentally excavated. He was reburied in the garden, and you can see his marker to this day.
Nobody is sure who this is, but has disturbing him from his slumber caused any paranormal activity? We’ll find out during our visit.
THE ANCIENT DISUSED WING
One particularly spooky and chilling area of Langley Priory is an ancient and disused wing, which we will have access too during our investigation; it is very much in the same condition as it was hundreds of years ago…who knows what or who still resides within its walls?
THE ATTIC
Lurking within the upper recesses of Langley Priory are the attic rooms. These rooms alone are enough to send a shiver down the spine, and that is during the daytime. At night and in the darkness what strange and mysterious things will come out to play?
THE CELLAR
During our events we have seen many cellars. They are often a hive of paranormal activity, and often that activity can be frightening (Peterborough Museum springs to mind here!)…and Langley Priory has one too. This is one area we are all looking forward to conducting our vigils and experiments.

On Saturday 17th April, Dead Haunted held their first investigation of OXFORD CASTLE.
This is a report based on the findings of the groups that I personally led.
VIGIL 1: SAXON TOWER
TEAM LEADERS: PHIL WHYMAN & TIM WAGSTAFF
We started our first vigil in the Saxon Tower, and were the only group to be situated here at this time.
Our group started the investigation using the Ouija Board, which produced some interesting personal information which seemed to be associated with one of our group; as this is personal information I will not divulge what this was in the hope you understand.
We then attempted a standing seance (when I say ‘we’, I mean our group as DH crew do not take part in the investigation experiments; we merely oversee them and supervise correct technique etc). It was during this seance that one of the members started to move back and forth, in a definite manner. This was something that they found very interesting as they were the only person this was happening to at the time, and he could not understand how this was happening; it is worth pointing out that the conditions were not ptich-black, so you could actually focus on our surroundings.
During this seance myself and others heard what sounded like a low growl, coming from beyond the door out into spiral staircase. Nothing could be found upon inspection.
END OF 1ST VIGIL
SECOND VIGIL
Again, Tim and I were partnered together to lead our next group, in the area known as St George’s Crypt.
During this vigil what is assumed to have been a stone / piece of masonry appeared to hit Tim on the arm; nothing could be found to account for this, as there was no loose masonry on the ceiling and he was not standing close to the walls.
During a ouija session, the torch – placed on the board to highlight the letters – kept dimming, seemingly on command of those taking part in the experiment. This continued to the point where the torch light was almost entirely extinguished! It is worth pointing out that the batteries had only just been changed for new (I did this!), and that the torch did not appear to have this issue after this vigil.
END OF 2ND VIGIL
THIRD VIGIL
My thrid vigil saw me team up withcrew member Keith Bowcott, as we investigated the Victorian Prison area.
Sadly on this occasion our vigil did not produce anything conclusive.
END OF 3RD VIGIL
FOURTH VIGIL
This time with Vince Draper. Slight ouija board / glass movement. Overall a quiet vigil.
END OF 4TH VIGIL
Other groups reported some very interesting findings / results, which may be posted later.
Overall we are all looking forward to our return to Oxford Castle in October this year…
