A Celebration of the Ghosts and Legends of London

In , CCTV cameras at the palace reported a strange sighting: The alleyway doors at Hampton Court burst open in the middle of the night. Featuring live actors, thrilling rides and exciting special effects, the Dungeon is truly interactive, bringing the horrors of historic London to life. This traditional British pub has a very spooky past.

In the s, a young man known as Cedric cheated at cards at the Grenadier and was beaten to death on-site. Located in the borough of Islington, this London Underground station has a haunted reputation. In , Anne Naylor, a young girl, was allegedly murdered by a hatmaker and his wife in a building that was torn down in the 19th century to make room for the new train station. Death looms large at the British Museum.

ACCLAIMED GHOST TOURS OF LONDON

Check out the Colombian death masks, Japanese coffins and the amazing wax death mask of Oliver Cromwell. And, of course, the British Museum has whole rooms dedicated to those macabre, death-obsessed ancient Egyptians, including the tomb-chapel of Nebamun and lots of mummies! Rumor has it that an appearance by one of these ghosts is good luck for performances. Andy Vine of Eastbourne Coaches organised a night time tour with Richard and brought a coach load of participants into London.

Again, Andy is in a position to give an informed opinion on the standard and the quality of a tour since he operates coach tours all over the country and so is able to make genuine comparisons.

Concerning Richard's guiding and storytelling ability, Andy had this to say: Thanks for a great tour. As a coach operator we organize quite a few events that include guides and I must say yours was the best I have come across She enjoyed it enough to make it the subject of her student blog on the college website.

The guide put in neat bits of acting, stuttering or pausing to flinch as his delivery was distracted by unseen flickers in the background, throwing cautious glances, askance, and making all of us jump with perfectly timed volume changes in his storytelling. The staff social club from the department store Caleys in Windsor booked their own private London Ghost Tour with Richard. However, this didn't detract from their enjoyment and one of the participants published the following report in the staff newsletter: I was surprised to see the coach was full. If anything can get this amount of people out on a night like this it must be something special.

On stepping out of the coach it came as a bit of a shock to be confronted by a man all dressed in black, who turned out to be our guide. Now, why was I with umpteen layers and coats on shivering on this vicious night and our guide was in just an old fashioned suit and looked perfectly warm. The guide's name was Richard, and what a clever dick he turned out to be! I mean that in the nicest possible way, as this man was a STAR.

Not only was he a great orator, but he was also a first rate magician. A great evening out enjoyed by everyone I am sure Sheltering in one of the old covered alleyways that the tour ventures in to, she experienced something that proved somewhat distracting, not to say disturbing.

Now, it must be said that this particular alleyway is one of those aforementioned hotspots when it comes to paranormal occurrences, and many people sense a certain something when passing through it. So Michelle's experience was very much business as usual at this decidedly creepy location. Whilst you were talking, some of us had taken shelter in a covered alleyway.

You were talking in front of the alleyway in front of a window above was some particularly spectacular Victorian decorative works on the building.

I cannot recall what you were talking about because from the other end of that alley way there seemed to be a commotion. We there were 4 of us could all hear, whilst you were still talking there was a woman's scream. Then it went quiet apart from the sounds of some keys jangling.

When it came time to pass through, we all stopped and let you go ahead, actually for fear of what was around the corner. People sense them, smell them, feel them and hear them, but a full- blown manifestation tends to be the exception rather than the rule. Many psychics enthusiastically hail them as spirit manifestations, and it has been theorized that they may be a type of spirit energy that is not normally visible to the naked eye, but which can be captured on camera.

Some believe them to be spirits that have willingly stayed behind because they feel bound to their previous life or previous location. Personally I am very dubious about orbs and I think there is nothing in the least bit ghostly about the majority of them. As John Mason - a professional photographer who is, seemingly, forever on the road taking infra red, ordinary film and digital images of thousands of haunted places - points out, orbs are mostly a product of the digital age.

He believes them to be nothing more than light reflecting off particles of dust or moisture in the atmosphere, in other words physical rather than psychical. Some of the stories are well known and have been handed down through the ages and, no doubt, have been embellished with each retelling! Others appear here for the first time and some occurred as recently as October Although I have tried, wherever possible, to offer historical corroboration for the events that led to some of the hauntings, I have set the stories down, more or less, as they were recounted to me by those who experienced them.

I have made few attempts to explain them, and have remained content to just accept that they have occurred. I hope that you enjoy the haunted London website and I also hope that you will take the opportunity to visit some, if not all, of the places included. Should it, perchance, happen that you are lucky enough some might say unlucky enough!
