Red-eyed monk of Mote Park

Mote Park is a fantastic public park in Maidstone, with a boating lake, miniature railway and wonderfully landscaped gardens. The park and its properties passed through many royal and gentile hands, and was the location for a mass inspection of troops trained to defend against the potential threat of Napoleon in the 18th century. Between 1793 and 1800 the original house was demolished and replaced by a new mansion.

Watch Andy at Mote Park

There are a number of hauntings in the park, a young girl in white is often seen darting through the trees in the darkness. There is no clear indication of who the girl may be, but the common recurrence of the sighting is interesting enough. During WWII a Canadian soldier is reported to have seen a red eyed phantom Monk making his way through the park, perhaps towards the historic Archbishops Palace?
