St. Nicholas Priory - Overnight Ghost Hunt with Ghostly Nights

St. Nicholas Priory, hidden in the heart of Exeter, is a building with nearly 1,000 years of history. First founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1087, it later became a grand Tudor home – and within its walls are centuries of worship, wealth, scandal, and sorrow.

By day, this beautifully preserved site attracts visitors for its architecture and heritage. By night, the atmosphere shifts. Shadows stretch longer, footsteps echo where none should be, and stories of restless spirits whisper through the halls. Many who have visited after dark believe they have encountered something that refuses to be forgotten.

• A full ghost hunt led by Ghostly Nights – award-winning Paranormal Experience Provider of the Year (South West)
• Exclusive after-dark access to Exeter’s most historic house – just you, the building, and its lingering spirits
• Use of professional paranormal equipment – EMF meters, spirit boxes, REM pods, Ouija boards, and more
• Vigils and investigations in the Great Hall, chambers, and other reputedly haunted areas
• Chilling stories of the Priory’s past – from monastic rituals to Tudor tragedy

With nearly a millennium of history soaked into its walls, St. Nicholas Priory is one of Exeter’s most atmospheric locations. Its combination of religious devotion, domestic drama, and centuries of untold stories creates an environment thick with energy – the kind that makes the hairs on your neck rise when the lights go out.
