| Is this location reported to be haunted Clive? It is beautiful and possibly steeped in history from the look of it. If there are reports of paranormal activity there we may well consider it. Thanks |

| I lived in Abingdon from the age of 17 and never once heard that it was haunted. Abingdon is a really old town, (I head it was one of the oldest in Europe) so its steeped in history and ther are plenty of haunted places within the town. there's the 3 pubs for example. The Broad Face The Stocks The Kings head and Bell (closed for refurb) and goodness knows how many others, appantly culham bridge is supposed to be haunted, and if you go a little further up the road to where Radiohead have there studio that to is reported to have a ghost. |

| Just found this on the BBC website about anoter place in abingdon........... The Abbey TodayVery little of the abbey remains in present-day Abingdon. The gatehouse still spans the road just off the market square in the town centre, although this has been greatly restored. Nearby, some of the domestic buildings of the abbey survive, including the 'checker' (ie, the exchequer) and Long Gallery. In 1952, the interior of the checker was converted into a small, Elizabethan-style theatre, which opened the following year with a production of a play called The Two Angry Women of Abingdon. The Unicorn Theatre, as it was named, still exists and is home to a number of local theatre companies, such as the Studio Theatre Club7 and the Old Gaol Theatre Company. The latter takes its name from the gaol buildings that stand near the theatre, and is reputed to be haunted by the ghost of an eight-year-old boy who was the youngest person to be hanged in Britain. |

| Maybe you both could check it out and get some preliminary readings with an EMF and do a few EVP sessions. See if it's worth pursuing further! | |

| Well I've just found out the Kings Head has reopened. That place is definatly haunted and every person I've spoken to who has worked there (I used to work there as well) has had experienced paranormal activity, not to mention the amount of punters who have experienced things as well. I reckon we should try and get in there. Its never been investigated before. |
