Dissolved in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the only surviving buildings of the original St Albans Abbey are the Abbey gateway and the Abbey church. The gateway was later used as a prison and is now part of St Albans School, while the church which is now St Albans Cathedral. The abbey has been the scene for many ghostly sightings over the years, and ghostly choral accompaniment has also been heard on several occasions. A well documented case from 1944 describes how Basil Saville witnessed two hooded figures, saw the organ play of its own accord, heard ghostly music, and saw a procession of ghostly monks. The music has been heard on many occasions and has been identified as a piece by Robert Fairfax who died in 1521. St Alban is also said to make an appearance, during a visit to the abbey grounds one woman experienced a vision of a white figure with a golden radiance about its head. This has been identified with St Alban, who was buried in a secret place outside the abbey. Other apparitions include ghostly monks who disappear through walls, and a phantom coach and horses on Holywell hill.
