In Briistol, Avon, All Saints Church is very peaceful and serene from the outside, on the corner of CornStreet and High Street BUT looks can be deceiving, for the church and vicarage have been haunted since at least the 1840s by the figure of a black-robed monk, who opens locked doors, shakes beds in the middle of the night, and gestures for people to follow him before he simply vanishes into a wall. The church was indeed once a monastery, but when King Henry VIII dissolved the Catholic monasteries and oordered all their wealth sent to London, the pprior had all the valuables hidden away. Despite the king's best efforts, the treasure cache was never found, and the ghostly monk is said to guard its whereabouts even to this day.(Personal notes from visit)
Addendum: No I didn't see the "ghostly monk" nor have been given aany clue as to where the "treasure" was buried.
