HAUNTED LONDON (Gulp)

Haunted London.  We all know it is, right?  With all the beheadings, infamous murders (e.g., Jack the Ripper), and Black Plague, surely disgruntled spirits abound.  Those gruesome happenings coupled with images of London’s old cobbled streets, gas lamps, and nighttime fog...well, if London isn't haunted, it feels haunted.

If you’re planning a trip to London with the intent of tracking down paranormal activity, may I suggest timing your visit for the evening of a full moon?  Or for Halloween night?  At such times, the likelihood of an "occurrence" greatly increases.  Here is the information you need to find Haunted London...   


Three top destinations for ghostly appearances in London are the Tower of London, the Underground (tube system), and 50 Berkeley Square.

• 50 BERKELEY SQUARE

 This four-story, Victorian era townhouse holds the reputation as being the “Most Haunted House in London."  (Yes, the same Berkeley Square where the Nightingale sings....)  Many purported sightings and suspicious noises have occurred here over the years, though none in recent times.  But who knows when the spirits will strike again?

The easiest way to see the ghostly venues of London is to take a guided tour, and many tour companies offer such walks.  I recommend London Ghost Walks and Tours, led by Richard Jones.

The idea that ghosts exist at the Tower of London is almost a no-brainer with so many Off with ye head's having occurred there. 

• Under-ground (video)
  

Well, all those underground tunnels did disturb graves....
