For many months, almost a year in fact, the fenland surrounding Ely and Cambridge has been subject to a sinister change, a mood of disquiet hangs over the town and the marshes. Several murders and various disappearances have occured, as well as the burnings of two houses.
People are scared to venture out after dark or alone.
Villagers have reported seeing apparitions at night, and several witnesses at King's College in Cambridge have sworn they saw the ghost of the recently deceased Master walk the chapel. The bells of Ely cathedral have rung through the morning mist, but when the clergymen have arrived, no-one has been seen. And each ringing of the bells has presaged a killing or disappearance. Location Denny Abbey is an English Heritage property, just north of here, which was originally owned by the Benedictines and the Knights Templar, and is therefore quite old. It is made of stone throughout, has several storeys, is surrounded by countryside and generally looks and feels rather gothic.
