Initial data
British researchers of supernatural phenomena claim that they managed to capture on video the phantom black figure, watching them in an abandoned building. This happened a few days ago in the English town of Mansfield Nottinghamshire. Ghostbusters went at night to a building where, according the legend, in his time killed seven monks (esoreiter.ru).
The head of the group, 36-year-old Dan Litchfield, says that professionals interested in the building that once housed a slaughterhouse, and then the pub. However, in medieval times, there lived a monastic community, seven members of which were stabbed during the Tudor the secularization of the monasteries. Legend has it that since then the spirits of dead ascetics periodically materializovyvatsya here, although all seven ghosts together no one has ever seen.
In the below video you can see a large room that Dan Litchfield and his colleagues illuminate the lanterns. One of the hunters making an offering to the spirits, leaving them a soft toy. At this time, the operator directs the camera somewhere inside the room, and there suddenly emerges a black human silhouette standing motionless and looking as if to come to his abode people. The researchers noticed that the figure only later and was very pleased with his discovery.
Litchfield says:
"Capturing on video the Ghost for paranormal researchers, like us, is akin to contact with the mystery of the Holy Grail for Christians. This happens very infrequently. It is usually parabolicheskoi illusion when the camera hits something, like a face, but in fact there is nothing there. Here we clearly took a dark human silhouette, who was nowhere to come from, because in the building besides us, nobody was there. We are convinced that this phantom one of the monks".

Eerie footage captures shadowy figures at grade-II listed building where seven monks were burnt alive
The team were investigating the renowned paranormal hotspot ‘The Village’ in Mansfield, Notts, when their camera caught an eerie figure watching them
Ghost hunters have revealed footage and pictures of a shadowy figure stalking them in a grade-II listed building – where seven monks were thought to have been burnt alive.
Dan Litchfield, 36, and his team were investigating the renowned paranormal hotspot ‘The Village’ in Mansfield, Notts, when their camera caught an eerie figure watching them in the darkness.
What left the group even more stunned was when another photo in a different part of the former pub and slaughterhouse showed the suspected ghoul again watching them.
Legend has it that tunnels led from the nearby Newstead Abbey to the site and monks who had sought refuge were slaughtered when there caught during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Dan, from Gloucester, said: “Catching a full apparition on camera is like the Holy Grail in paranormal investigations. That sort of thing doesn't happen very often.
“You normally see some things that can be attributed to pareidolia - when you see a shape or a figure when nothing's actually there. But the shadow figure was unbelievably clear.
“It was our first time there. It is known as a major hotspot in the field and well known as one of the best places to visit so we had wanted to go – it had been on my bucket list for a while.
“I never thought we wold get something as good as this. I hoped to but never thought I would.
“We also had a photo that was taken by another person in the building that night. He actually found a similar shadowy figure within a different part of that area.
“The fact that the figure was caught twice in two different spots, 10 feet apart, that obviously reinforces the sighting.”
Built in 1802, The Village has served as a slaughter house, a malt house and even a nightclub, but is said to have been based on a site that once contained an old barn.
Under that barn was reportedly a tunnel which led to Newstead Abbey, located a few miles south of Mansfield.
Legend has it that this tunnel was used by the resident monks of the abbey to escape the English authorities during the Dissolution of the Monasteries period of the late 1530s.
The monks fled through the tunnels and sought refuge in the barn. Upon finding them, the authorities burned down the barn with the group still inside, killing all of them.
