Ghosts, Hauntings, Murders and Superstitions, part 2
London's hauntings London sits on layers of history, plague pits, abandoned tunnels, and Victorian eccentricities. Beyond the Highgate Vampire, the capital’s local lore ranges from ghosts to strange suburban legends. The Phantom Bear of the Tower of London: While the Tower is famous for royal spectres like Anne Boleyn, its oddest phantom is non-human. In the early 1800s, back when the Tower housed the Royal Menagerie, a sentry at the Martin Tower reportedly saw a massive phantom bear charging toward him. The soldier lunged with his bayonet, only for it to pass through the apparition; he collapsed from shock and died two days later.
