Thetford Priory
 | |||||
| West Door, Thetford Priory - In 1248 a notorious and dissolute prior of Thetford called Stephen was stabbed during a quarrel with one of his monks. He died just outside the great west door of the church. Type of visit: Tour |
I journeyed on, once again to Norfolk, it is one of my favourite counties in the UK.
I take a collection of paranormal related books with me on my travels, flicking through the pages of 'A ghost hunters guide to Norfolk', my memory was jogged by a story told by CJ Romer, (CJ23 to his friends) some of you old school investigators and paranormalists may remember the parapsychologist who featured on 'Ghost hunters' a UK TV show, episode: 2.1 (7) Ripples in Time, (Timeslips) which was aired in 1996 'pre-most haunted'! As it states in the book, 'a respected paranormal researcher began a lifetime career and interest in ghosts' after what happened to him and some pals back in 1987; him and his four scientifically minded friends, (clinical psychologist, computer scientists) have various personal accounts of what they saw, a group sighting of a phantom monk and staircase in broad daylight. Whether this case is related to the murder of Stephen remains a mystery, English Heritage note the stabbing of a monk.
In this video: Witness CJ Romer (Parapsychologist) (also JPTUK Patron).
He explains what he and his friends witnessed at the priory, this is also a very good example of critical thinking related to a paranormal type group experience.
