Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds  is considered by many to be one of the best examples of a medieval Cistercian monastery anywhere in Britain. Completed between 1152 and 1182, the abbey still stands substantially to its full height, its massive structure presenting a unique example of early Cistercian architecture. But while for centuries it offered a peaceful existence for the monks who lived and worked there, daily life could be harsh and, like any small community, it was not immune to intrigue and mystery as religion developed. Since the dissolution of the abbey in 1539, sightings of ghosts have become common, which, by the 19th century, resulted in newspaper reports of ghostly apparitions in the nave of the church. One witness claimed to have seen a funeral procession of sombre men, clad in white, proceeding slowly down the nave. Join Yorkshire Evening Post reporter Debbie Leigh, together with medium Barrie John, YEP advertising manager Nicola Atkinson, feature writer Grant Woodward and paranormal investigator Lynne Robinson as they become the first team ever allowed to carry out a ghost investigation in the grounds of Kirkstall Abbey.
