Tales of haunting from one of the world's most terrifying landmarks The Tower of London's most horrific tragedies are well known; the gruesome deaths of the two boy princes in the Bloody Tower, Anne Boleyn's execution, the Jesuit priests and heretics who suffered the agonies of the rack and thumbscrew. Is it any wonder, then, that there are frequent reports of bloodcurdling screams and moans, of unexplained footsteps and ghostly headless figures?

This book focuses more on the history of the Tower with the ghostly happenings just adding some flavor. (

Whilst the historical facts are interesting there is nothing that you can't find on any of the many pages on the internet dedicated to telling the stories of the Tower's history. The 'Ghost' stories in the book feel very repetitive and at times the same story is related on more than one occasion as if there were multiple drafts of each and they mistakenly all got included in the final edition (throwing stones & poisoned eggs).

Needs a rewrite to tighten up the narrative and remove the repetition. One for the paranormal enthusiasts maybe but not a good historical document (

Not really much of a ghost story book is more anecdotal information about the tower and people who lived and/or were imprisoned there. It does mention this or that person living in a certain section felt a push or a presence or a cold spot. The book talks about each of the different towers within the Tower of London and almost gets to the point of being annoying rather than interesting. Good for history buffs but definitely not what I would call a book of ghost stories. (

Looking at this slim volume, I worried it would be nothing more than a collection of "sightings" by too-easily spooked tourists. Happily, most of the book was historical anecdotes about some of the people who had lived and died at the Tower of London. Sure, there is the occasional paranomal experience, but it's told more like a campfire ghost story than a true believer's "evidence". A fun, if brief, tour of the Tower's darker days. (
