Ghost hunting at Denny Abbey

The spirit finders team visit Denny abbey this is a short history
Denny was home to Benedictine monks for only ten years from 1159 until it was handed over to the Knights Templar's. For this mysterious religious order, known as the 'fighting monks' because of their commitment to protecting pilgrims to the Holy Lane, the Abbey was a home for aged and infirm members of the order.
By 1308 the Templar's had fallen out of favour with the king and on January 10th of that year they were arrested, taken to Cambridge Castle and then to the Tower of London.
The third religious order to occupy Denny Abbey was that of Franciscan nuns, otherwise known as Poor Clare's. Their founder, the Countess of Pembroke, converted the original church into her own private apartments and built a new church, a refectory, dormitory, cloisters and other buildings which have not survived.
The 14th and 15th century would have seen a bustling Denny - home to nuns and several chaplains. At that time, Abbeys were not only religious centres but also the occupants were also managers of large agricultural estates. There would have been a considerable community here that would have included servants and farm workers.
The Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 signalled the end of religious life at Denny; two years later, all the nuns had left. The Countess of Pembroke's apartments and the refectory survived as they could be converted for farm use - the rest was destroyed.
The estate subsequently passed through the hands of many generations of farmers until the early 20th century, when Pembroke College acquired it and placed it in the care of the Ministry of Works, now English Heritage

I used to live in Waterbeach near this Abby and what they neglected to say was that the Abbey is very close to a major road, the A10, and you can hear it at the beginning of the video. It could be causing the rumbling of the floor that they experienced. I have been in this Abby many times, I do not doubt that there could be activity in this place. It's ancient history, the nature of the Fens and direct vicinity to a WWII airfield has to be a direct contribution to its validity.

The history behind the abbey was interesting.

Also, at around 7:00 I heard an eerie moaning right before the panicking.
