This one is also an upcoming PT event 
Battle Abbey was built by William the Conqueror on the site of the Battle of Hastings, as a thanks offering to God for his victory over Harold and the hope for atonement for the terrible slaughter that had taken place. After the Dissolution of the Abbey in 1538, the property was given to Sir Anthony Browne by Henry VIII and passed to the Webster Family in 1699.
It was a Lady Webster who was visited by the unknown phantom of an old woman when she was lying in bed one night, waiting for her husband, shortly after her marriage. The bedcurtains were pulled apart and Lady Webster saw the terrifying figure of an old woman staring at her. After a few moments the woman walked away and out through the door. Immediately afterwards, Lord Webster walked into the room and was astonished to hear of his wife’s experience, because he had seen no person in the corridor outside, and if the woman had been a living person, he would have passed her immediately outside the door.
A High Altar was built on the spot where King Harold was killed, but all that now remains on the spot is a fir tree which is probably 16th century. A “fountain of blood” has been seen to spurt upwards from the spot on several occasions, and King Harold has been seen surveying the scene of his terrible defeat.
The figure of a cowled monk has been seen walking along the Monks’ Wall on many occasions in the 20th century, and when the nearby church was damaged by fire in 1931 he was seen several times on successive nights.
The figure of a Mediaeval knight, in full armour, carrying a large sword, has been seen standing in a corner of the Great Hall.
