A place that is heavily underestimated for paranormal activity.. 13th Century Cong Abbey
CONG ABBEY - Cong South, Co. Mayo, Ireland
The monastery of Cong, founded in the early 7th century, was destroyed by fire in the early 12th century. Turlough O’Conor, the High-King of Ireland, refounded the abbey around 1135 AD, and his son Rory constructed new buildings. The community adopted the Augustinian rule several years later. Soon after, in 1203 AD, the attacked the town, and again the monastery had to be rebuilt. Very little remains of the abbey.
The present church, and possibly also the fragmentary cloister, where the monks once worked and prayed, belong to the rebuilding of the early 13th century. The north doorway of the church, and the elaborate doorways that open onto the cloister from the east range of the monastery, might pre-date the destruction by William de Burgo. The doorway with two fine windows on either side of it belongs to the chapter house, where the monastery’s business was conducted and a chapter of the rule read every day. This was also where the community gathered to confess their sins publicly. The sculpture in the abbey, which suggests links with western France, is some of the finest in Ireland.
The monastery kitchen had a bell with a line that went all the way to the Fishing House. When the monks caught fish they would pull on the line to ring the bell so the cook would know that fresh fish would be available.

Found in Cong, Ireland
I found an SD card in Cong, Ireland during a tour of Ireland in June/July 2016. The card contains three movie clips - which I've joined – and a number of still images. I'm guessing the language is Japanese but could be completely wrong. If you know the people featured have them get in touch and I'll endeavour to return their images.
