Summary
This week on Paranormal Activity with Yvette Fielding, we travel to one of the most atmospheric and supernaturally charged locations in all of East Sussex… the extraordinary Michelham Priory.
Surrounded by a medieval moat and steeped in nearly 800 years of history, Michelham Priory has survived dissolution, war, famine, fire, and countless reinventions — and through it all, something seems to have stayed behind. Many things, in fact.
In this episode, Yvette explores the Priory’s long and turbulent past before diving into its most infamous hauntings:
👻 The Grey Lady who glides silently along the moat’s edge, her sorrow felt by all who see her.
👻 The Black-Hooded Monk in the Undercroft, whose dark presence chills even the bravest investigators.
👻 Rosie, the restless spirit of a young girl, and the disturbing tale of Thomas Sackville’s torment that binds her to the Priory’s shadows.
We’ll examine eyewitness accounts, whispered legends, and centuries-old stories that refuse to fade, and we’ll explore the paranormal theories that attempt to explain why Michelham Priory is regarded as one of the most haunted places in the UK.
Is it the land? The trauma? The Priory’s monastic past? Or something far older and more mysterious?
Finally, Yvette unpacks what makes locations like Michelham Priory spiritual hotspots and why its ghosts seem unable, or unwilling, to leave.
Prepare for an episode filled with history, heartbreak, and haunting encounters… because Michelham Priory is a place where the past isn’t just remembered, it walks beside you.
