A ghost-hunting couple claim to have debunked the infamous legend of the 'white monk' of Tintern Abbey - with the help of Google Maps. Lee and Linzi Steer visited the 900-year-old ruins in Monmouthshire while investigating a nearby 'haunted' hotel and filmed the historic building as they walked past with their group.
But after the duo posted their gloomy footage on social media, they were inundated with comments from viewers pointing to the 'ghost' of a monk stood watchfully at the doorway. Initially, the pair believed it could be a spook and their research found the tale had existed for 'years and years' - and the exact same figure had even been supposedly caught on camera by a paranormal enthusiast in 2018.
Unable to explain how they had captured the same still silhouette as another ghost hunter, they decided to dig a little further. After pulling up Google Maps, Lee, 36, realised the ruins' wooden doors created a 'human-shape' that when struck by the moonlight produced the shape of a glowing monk - causing a 'spooky apparition' to appear.
