Abbey House Museum is located in Leeds, Yorkshire and is the former gate house for the 12th century Kirkstall Abbey. Kirkstall Abbey was founded in around 1152 by monks, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII  it fell into disrepair and eventually become a ruin. Its gatehouse  was turned into a  house and received lots of  renovation over the coming years, including a 15th/16th century wing and early 20th century additions. It operated as a farmhouse, and  was also the home of the Butler family, the owners of Kirkstall Forge and in 1926 was purchased by Leeds City Council.

This location is said to be very haunted with many reports of unexplainable happenings from visitors and staff.
