The Tower of London: 900 Years of Ghosts
Nearly a millennium of executions and intrigue — where Anne Boleyn is said to still walk the grounds carrying her head.
A fortress, a palace, a prison
Begun by William the Conqueror around 1078, the Tower has been a royal residence, armory, treasury, and most famously a prison and place of execution.The hauntings
Its most storied ghost is Anne Boleyn, beheaded in 1536 and said to walk the grounds carrying her head. The "Princes in the Tower," two young heirs who vanished in 1483, are reported as small figures in the Bloody Tower. Even the ravens are tied to legend: should they ever leave, the kingdom is said to fall.Visit
Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Tower is open daily with Yeoman Warder ("Beefeater") tours.Find real haunts near you 🎃
