We love the grisly tale of London’s past, the horror stories of long-dead ghosts, and are passionate about strange goings-on across the capital. We revel in reports of the paranormal, bloody histories, and tales of the unexplainable, which will fright and delight you as you walk around the intensely atmospheric City of London at night. Led by a passionate tour guide, this tour combines London's weirdest and most chilling tales with real-life gruesome and bloody history with locations that even some lifelong Londoners don't know about. Visiting each location at night and on foot, this walking ghost tour of London aims for maximum spooky effect. There are churches with secret histories, horribly haunted pubs and very dark, dank and devilish corners of London. During the tour you will have the chance to: take photos (who knows you may even capture an orb in your picture), ask your tour guide questions, and if you are lucky you may even spot one of London’s celebrated spectres.
A dark shadowy figure haunts St Magnus. Many people have seen this ghost, but few know who it is, or why this spectre is pointing to one particular grave. In 1951, a spiritual medium visited this church and revealed who this shadowy figure was, and why they were so obsessed with this one particular spot inside the church. Learn why this ghost will never rest, and why its demand will never be fulfilled.
