Michelham Priory
I recall the summer day, when i was living and working in Eastbourne,
that i took a bus ride and a packed lunch to Michelham village.
The Priory is built on a bend in the river Cuckmere, nearby,
and is now an island. It was a priory until Henry VIII came along.
There is still a prior supposed to haunt the gatehouse, and
a thin, sickly looking female ghost, another grey lady.
There appears to be a second ghostly lady inside the house, in Tudor dress.
It's a house with old wooden staircases and furniture, and a moat.
It's a very attractive site, and very soothing as an atmosphere,
Although i do recall a television interview with a man, one of the staff
resident there, perhaps, i can't remember exactly,
who claimed to be kept awake at night, by forces,
which seemed to want to drive him out. As i recall his story,
he sat on the stairsand bargained with them, to leave him alone,
and said he'd not bother them.
They seemed to agree with the deal.
