The ruins of Minsden Chapel were purported to be haunted by the spectre of a monk climbing stairs that no longer existed to the north-east area of the chapel at midnight on Halloween. Other phenomena included the appearance of a glowing cross on the wall, and the hearing of distant music or the ringing of bells. Legends also exist of a lost tunnel and of a murdered nun. In 1907, T.W. Latchmore, a local professional photographer took a photograph of a ghostly monk at the Chapel. In later years it emerged that he had faked the photograph by simple means of double exposure.
