White Ladies Priory, located near Brewood in Shropshire, England, is a ruined 12th-century Augustinian nunnery. The priory was founded around 1186 and dedicated to St. Mary and St. Leonard. It housed a small community of nuns until its dissolution in 1536 during Henry VIII’s Reformation. The site is now managed by English Heritage and open to the public.

The priory’s most famous historical connection is to King Charles II, who briefly hid there in 1651 after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester. The king was sheltered by the Giffard family at nearby Boscobel House before moving on to other hiding places.

White Ladies Priory has gained a reputation for paranormal activity over the years. Visitors and investigators have reported sightings of spectral nuns wandering the ruins, particularly at dusk. These apparitions are said to be the ghosts of former nuns who once lived and worshipped at the priory.

One recurring story involves the sound of chanting echoing through the ruins, even when no one else is present. Some witnesses claim to have heard the faint strains of medieval hymns carried on the wind.

Another reported phenomenon is the appearance of mysterious lights floating among the stone walls at night. These orbs of light are sometimes attributed to the spirits of nuns carrying candles as they move through the priory grounds.

There have also been accounts of a hooded figure seen standing in the archways or moving silently through the ruins. This apparition is often described as a tall, cloaked presence that vanishes when approached.
