The ruins of Lilleshall Abbey in 1958 - the little girl is not identified
Shropshire folklore expert Amy Boucher, from Telford, has come across a number of such reports, and the legend of the ghostly monk is also told in Haunted Shropshire by Allan Scott-Davies. "Also, this monk appears solid, with his feet on the ground as you or I, rather than being translucent. He appears kneeling with his head bowed, as if in prayer or contemplation.
