The current building was constructed in 1755 and is said to have replaced an ealier building that had been there since the mid 17th century.The Church is also said to have been planned by Sir Christopher Wren,a well known architect.It was built in the form of a Greek cross.

The box pews from inside the Church were used by the British as box stalls for horses during the Revolutionary War.During the Civil War the Church was occupied by Union soldiers for a brief time.

The beautiful courtyard of the Church is the final resting place of many of Gloucester's oldest and most famous families.

I look at this ghostly tale as exactly that,a tale.But non-the-less it was enough of a reason for us to check out Abingdon and see what we might find.

Our first visit to Abingdon was on July 5th,2003.This night the temperatures were in the low 70's and the humidity was at 65%.There was no rain or fog in the area .We arrived just before nine in the evening.There were three investigators present.We took photos of the area using a 35mm camera and 800 speed Kodak film.We also did some audio recording.

Upon review we found we had gotten atleast 1 EVP and 1 photo of a small bluish orb.The orb photo was obtained in an area where two of the investigators felt a strong sense of "somthing" there.

Our second trip to Abingdon was July 19th,2003.Again the temperature was in the low 70's and the humidity was at 76%.There was no rain or fog in the area.We got to Abingdon at about 9:30pm.There were two investigators present.We took photos using a 35mm camera and 800 speed film and also did audio recording with two different tape recorders.This visit produced no further evidence.
