Hauntings

The Phantom Monks of Paisley Abbey

Paisley Abbey, Abbey Close, Paisley

Undated modern reports

The Abbey is one of the best known haunted places in Paisley and is normally listed first in local ghost round-ups, alongside the Sma' Shot Cottages and the old infirmary. The reports are general and repeat one another: a monk, in habit, moving through the nave.

Because the sources give no witnesses or dates, the tag here is single_report, meaning a story repeated in listings rather than a documented sighting.
