“My mark will burn like a brand to the flesh of this town. If it takes me until the end of eternity, I will make the bell toll for all the Witches of Salem!”
―Abigail
Abigail Willams

Abigail Williams, initially known as the Ghost Girl, is a main character and the primary antagonist of Murdered: Soul Suspect. She is a young ghost girl found in Dusk who watches Ronan O'Connor as he tries to solve the Bell Killer's case.

Biography[]

Abigail was a young girl at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Although is not clear if she had some sort of spiritual powers when alive, it is implied that she may have been a medium during her lifetime, whether or not she knew it.

At the time, for reasons not explained in game, the authorities seemed to greatly rely on her accusations of people who supposedly practiced witchcraft. Aware of this, her cruel father used it to his own advantage, forcing her - even tortured her by dunking - to regard his personal enemies as witches and report them. As a result, she became obsessed with persecuting witches. Eventually, the authorities grew afraid of the traumatized girl and took her into custody, near the end of the Witch Trials period.

In 1692 the government extinguished the Witch Trials and ordered the release of all people accused of witchcraft. However, the judge of the district of Salem concluded that even under pressure and torture, the young Abigail wouldn't give up on her desire to persecute those she believed to be witches. Afraid of what the girl was capable of doing if released, the judge ordered her death.

In 1693, before she was brought to the gallows, Abigail drew a symbol of a bell on the floor of the cell and cursed the city through it, promising to purge the town of all witches, even if takes the rest of eternity to do so.

Abilities[]

Abigail has the Possession ability just like any other ghost, but hers is apparently either more developed or unique. It gives inhuman physical strength and endurance to the host body she possesses, and she can control the person's actions at will, without them having any recollection of the events.

She also has the common spirit ability to see flashbacks of people's past memories and has the unique ability to evoke Lost Souls from the ground.

Murdered: Soul Suspect[]

Abigail serves as the story's main antagonist under the guise of the 'Bell Killer.' The Bell Killer was a figure she created by possessing powerful figures such as Baxter, Rex, and Ronan O'Connor, and using them to murder psychic mediums, whom Abigail perceived as being 'witches' and believing that they had contracts with demons.

Eventually, Ronan finds Rex, possessed by Abigail, trying to hang Joy Foster at the gallows in the museum. With help from Joy, who is also a psychic medium, the two are able to banish Abigail from Rex's body and her ghost is confronted by Ronan's. While in a state of shock from finding out the truth behind his death, Abigail tries to have Ronan consumed by the Lost Souls through a pit she summons in the floor. However, Ronan escapes their grasp and instead pulls Abigail in, officially expelling her soul from the mortal world and consequently ending The Bell Killings.
