White Ladies Priory???

HI All
I am new here and decided to join this forum as I wondered if anyone has ever visited White Ladies Priory on the A5 on the way to Wolverhampton? I visited once as a child with my Dad, the Priory is well off the beaten track and you have to turn down a lane to get to it. It was a clear night until we turned off the main road into the Priory. The wind began to roar and it began raining heavily, the road was too dark to see up ahead so we turned back. As soon as we got back to the main road, the weather was immediately as clear as it was before. I have never forgotten how strange that was. Some twenty years later, I visited again with ny husband, completely by chance as we were passing. He is a complete sceptic, but agreed to stop for a look around. It was the middle of the day and mid July so relatively warm. The road had changed significantly and you can no longer drive down the lane that Dad and I did, so we had to park on the road and walk the lane to a gate which led to the Priory. The walls are in ruins but stand really forbodingly in the middle of nowhere. Walking towards them I got this really uncomfortable feeling, like waiting outside the Head Teachers office!! nervous turning over stomach feeling, hard to explain. There seems to be no air or atmosphere, its almost as if the place stands still, so eerie and quiet, yet not that far from civilisation. I wandered in through the main arched entrance whilst my husband walked around the outside walls. We were the only people there, yet the whole time I was inside, I felt watched, like I was trespassing. One one particular spot I felt the hairs on my neck stand up and I was covered in goosebumps! I moved away from the area and then returned to the spot and the same thing happened again. We met up again on the outside of the walls. My husband said he had also had a very strange feeling, like an adrenaline rush, pumped sort of feeling, making him sort of extra alert. We intend to go back because there is something definately not right about that place. Please contact me if you have ever been there as I am keen to learn of others experiences...
