I just realized that I've been sitting on a ton of material...About half a mile outside of my hometown, there's the ruin of a monastery/ former robber's den/former castle. According to the legends, in 1244, after they drove the last nuns out, the women were put in barrels, in which the men drove carpenter's nails, and rolled them down the hillside. Over the centuries, people believed to see the ghosts of nuns pierced by nails in the forests around the place.

The place has been around since the 900s, and at least until the 16th century, there's been so much blood spilt there, that I have no problem believing the site to be haunted.
