In April/May of 2001 the UK was having problems with mad cow disease, foot and mouth disease and something else I'm not recalling as I write this. Tourism was at an all time low and me and my spouse got to visit many tourist sites bereft of visitors. No crowds! It was wonderful not having to stand in long lines to view the crown jewels at the Tower of London. The morning we went there, at the entrance to the Tower, there were only 3 people waiting for entrance. The Tower of London is a mass of many different styles of buildings from many different centuries. On that morning it was a cool day with bits of clouds blotting out the sun at times. We entered the oldest building, just us 2, which is by the Traitor's Gate. The building has 2 rounded corners overlooking the Thames. Upon entering the corner closest to the entrance I started feeling very anxious with thoughts leaping into my mind of When are they coming to free me? I took pictures of the small round room and they look very misty and creepy, out of focus and just 'wrong'. I asked a beefeater/guard if he had ever experienced anything supernatural and he said yes, he had along with all the other guards. They had ALL experienced the unexplainable.

Just to add- Margaret Pole the Countess of Salisbury (also godmother to Mary I) was the only living child of George Duke of Clarence (brother of Edward IV and Richard III. Fun fact Edward had George executed for plotting against him and he was drowned in a barrel of wine. Henry VIII had Margaret, her son Henry and her grandson (also called Henry) arrested. Margaret and her son were executed in 1541 accused of treason. There was no evidence that Margaret herself ever committed any crime and she was steadfast in her innocence. She was executed because her son Reginald (who would later become Archbishop of Canterbury under Mary I) openly opposed Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn. Also, as a daughter of a plantagenet, there was potential for a plot to usurp the throne from Henry and place one of Margaret's sons as king because their place in the line of succession was far less precarious than Henry's.

My parents took my sister and I to London when we were kids (around 97) and I insisted and doing a ghost tour and walking around the streets of London and into the towers at night was so cool and terrifying. I remember in one of the hard hit plague neighborhoods I felt someone tap my shoulder, thinking it was my dad tapping me on the shoulder but was on the other side (you know the joke) no one was there and my dad wasnt next to me, I was to the side of the group next to my younger sister then. I heard a little girls giggle and saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I didnt tell my parents bc I didnt want the tour to end so I mentally said (you can stay with us for the rest of the tour, I dont mind) I was a weird kid.

My husband and I lived in our house in Springfield Massachusetts for a decade. It was haunted. One has to remember that the movie is a two hour encapsulation. Ten years is a long time but we spent so much time trying to get back to baseline that it flew. My husband died in the house. I found him after work one day. Slow suicide.
Looking back, we should have left. He wouldn't. Life happens and one doesn't see the truth unfolding until it's way too late. Often ( as with my husband ) a key member of the house just doesn't get the danger.
The house had a history. Our tragedy was just the most recent one within those walls.
I'll never be the same.

Anne actually was beheaded by an expert French swordsman from Callay in 1533 as a last act of mercy from Henry. Anne tried to write to Henry and prove her innocence, but the letters were apparently ignored. Sadly, just 11 days after Anne was executed in may 19th 1533, Henry married his third wife Jane Seymour. Just goes to show how much he really cares for Anne: ( I feel bad for all of his six wives even 500 years later, they unfortunately married a crazy and arguably sociopathic man.

They called us walking corpses
Unholy living dead
They had to lock us up
Put us in their British hell
Make sure your face is clean now
Can't have no dirty dead
All the corpses here are clean, boy
All the Yanks in British hell
I don't want to be here in your London Dungeon
I don't want to be here in your British hell
Ain't no mystery why I'm in misery in Hell
Here's hoping you're swell

Entertaining episode, but some historical untruths I must bring up: Thomas Beckett died in Canterbury Cathedral, NOT France. Reginald Pole fled FROM England, not to it. Also, Big Ben (shown here as being blown up in the Gunpowder Plot) didn't exist during Fawkes's lifetime.

Guy Fox?
It's Guy Fawkes Not Guy Fox! Typical Mispronounced Name! I doubt if there has been much Research into the True History in the making of this Video! If this Video is giving Out Wrong Information on the Historical Facts! What about the Other Videos made on here!

Didn't guy Fawkes kill himself after seeing his accomplices being drawn and quartered? he put the noose around his own neck and jumped off breaking his neck so he would not suffer the same fate that he was forced to watch his accomplices and co-conspirators suffer!

Just a pointless fact on guy fulkes, when he was about to be executed, after seeing what happened to some of his group before him, just as he was about to be hung, he jumped from the platform, breaking his neck, he wasn't alive when he was drawn or quartered.

All I can think is,
I hope that if ghosts exists they're not our souls, but just residual energy, cuz that would suck to have to stay forever in one spot reliving the worst thing that ever happens to you.

Anne Bolyn wasn't killed by an 'axeman'. Henry sent for a swordsman from France for her because a sharp sword would be quicker & in theory less painful as axes could require several strokes. What a sweet guy.

I would love to walk through the Tower of London. It seems fascinating. I absolutely believe there are ghosts there. So many people were murdered or tortured, I think they are free to roam there

My grandma visited England back in the day, she told us that she left the museum the second she was told Ann Boleyns story. People back then were more serious about this stuff I guess

While I can let a few little inconsistencies go I have to say, Guy Fawkes was not the leader of The Gunpowder Plot. Robert Catesby was, Fawkes was the trigger man.
