Boo Again!

Posted in Death by Greg Ross on August 12th, 2005

The Tower of London is pretty crowded even when it's empty. Reportedly it's haunted by the ghosts of the following people:

  • Thomas Becket
  • King Edward V
  • Richard, Duke of York
  • Anne Boleyn (headless)
  • Lady Jane Grey
  • Sir Walter Raleigh

There's also a troupe of ghosts who re-enact the execution of Margaret Pole, the Eighth Countess of Salisbury, as well as phantom troops and a lady in mourning who has no face. Sounds like a lively time.
