Wheeler Priory, located in Leeds, England, traces its origins back to the 12th century when it was established as a Benedictine monastery. The priory flourished for several centuries, serving as a center for religious devotion and scholarship. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII in the 1530s, Wheeler Priory was dissolved, and its lands were seized by the Crown.

The priory’s buildings fell into disrepair over time, with only fragments of the original structure remaining today. These ruins have become the focal point of numerous ghost stories and reported paranormal activities.

One of the most persistent tales involves the ghost of a monk seen wandering the grounds at night, often described as wearing a dark hooded robe and carrying a lantern. Witnesses have reported hearing chanting and the sound of distant bells, even though no bells exist on the site.

Another frequently reported apparition is that of a young woman in medieval dress, believed to be a novice who died tragically at the priory. Visitors have claimed to see her figure near the ruins of the old chapel, often appearing distressed or lost.

There have been accounts of unexplained cold spots, sudden temperature drops, and feelings of being watched or followed while exploring the priory grounds. Some visitors have reported hearing whispered conversations in Latin echoing through the empty chambers.

Photographic anomalies have also been documented, with some images showing strange orbs of light or misty figures that were not visible to the naked eye at the time the photos were taken.
