Video Description
Dr. Eleanor Janega visits the ruins of Byland Abbey to explore some of the most terrifying stories to survive the medieval period. The 12 ghostly tales written by a monk on the blank back pages of a religious manuscript, share traits with our own modern ghost stories but we learn that medieval perceptions of ghosts may be very different to our own. In the Canterbury Cathedral, Eleanor investigates how the church uses ghost stories for political gain and reinforces religious values, especially with stories of purgatory.
