During his long and illustrious 900 years, href rel = "nofollow" = "http://www.guide-to-castles-of-europe.com/tower-of-london.html"> Tower of London has become one of the most haunted places in Britain. He has been home to beheadings and murders, torture and executions, all to be a prison to Queens and even noble.
A. Thomas Becket is "the first report of a sighting of a ghost in the Tower of London."
When building a wall in the 13th century, Thomas appeared apparently unhappy with the construction and said reducing the ruined wall, with a strike of his cross. IIIa grandfather Henry was responsible for the death of Thomas Becket, so Henry III wasted no time building a chapel in the Tower of London, and called for the Archbishop.
This must have satisfied Ghost Thomasa 'because there was no more interruptions during the construction of the wall.
The Bloody Tower was the scene of the infamous disappearance the two princes, Edward V (12) and Richard Duke of York (10), which is believed to have been murdered in 1483, probably in the order of the Duke of Gloucestershire, to be crowned Richard III.
According to one story, guards in the late 15th century, passing the Bloody Tower, saw the shadow of two small figures gliding stairs still have the white shirts that night on the night she disappeared.
They sat in silence, holding hands, before disappearing into the stones of the Bloody Tower.
These figures have been identified as the ghosts of the two princes. In 1674, workmen found a chest containing the skeletons of two young children, who were supposed they were the remains of the princess, and received a royal burial not long afterwards.
History princes remains to this day a heartbreaking story. They are "between most moving minds "in the Tower of London.
The most persistent ghost in the Tower of London is the ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn.
The king, Henry VIII, after learning that the baby she carried for nine months was a boy and still born, accused by her of infidelity.
She was taken to the Tower Green and beheaded May 19, 1536.
Queen Anne appears near the home in Queens, near where their implementation have been made. It can be seen marching in a procession Ghost of Lords and Ladies down the aisle of the Chapel Royal of St. Peter ad links.
Floating in the lane to his final resting place. Queen Anne is buried under the altar of the Chapel. His decapitated body was also seen walking the halls of the Tower.
Sir Walter Raleigh lived quite comfortable compared with others who were imprisoned in the walls of the Bloody Tower.
His "rooms" are still furnished as they were in the 16th century, and you can see when visiting Tower today.
He was executed by James I, and was seen looking exactly as he did in his portrait hanging in the Bloody Tower.
