Bosses at a British theme park were forced to move a new ride after workers reported seeing what appeared to be a headless monk, Sky News reported Monday. Staff building the ride at Thorpe Park, near London, encountered several strange phenomena, including the ghost and reports of objects being moved. A paranormal detection agency called in by park bosses to carry out tests found that an ancient burial ground or settlement could have been disturbed. Managers at the theme park decided to relocate the ride to another area and also called in a forensic team to carry out further investigations. The ride, named "Storm Surge," was originally meant to have been built in an area on the site known as Monk's Walk. The old footpath has linked the ruins of nearby Chertsey Abbey to Thorpe Church since the year 666 AD. The ride's foundations would have been over 49 feet deep in an area of the park where stone coffins were previously excavated. Paranormal expert Jim Arnold, who carried out tests at the site, said that "results were picked up immediately, with orbs, ghostly images in photography and Ouija reaction results being strongest around the site where they were proposing to build Storm Surge.
