«La abadía fantasma» is the mystery and horror novel by Robert Westall, published by Timun Mas in 1991 in paperback (247 pages, in Spanish).
Maggi moves with her family to a ruined abbey in England, where her widowed father works on the restoration. She soon discovers that both she and the building harbour ghosts of the past: the house exerts a dark power that attracts its inhabitants to protect and preserve it, and it is not willing to let them go.
The original work was published in 1988 under the title «Ghost Abbey» and is part of the «Hippo Hauntings» series.
For young adult and adult readers seeking a classic ghost story set in a ruined English abbey.
