I feel like with a lot of passings that occur in home but have their spirits reappear in places other than their homes it’s their way of watching over places they loved in the past. Perhaps Mr. Buckstone is acting as a guardian spirit, watching over the place he had so many happy and fond memories of when he was alive. If that is the case I hope he approves of the plays performed at the Theatre Royal.
FINALLY!! My week is made! Master Jones telling ghost stories! Merry Samhain, Richard! 👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃 (I usually skip all the Jack stuff because I am simply weary of him and his legacy)
Very good video ! One of the best things I’ve seen on TH-cam . Well narrated and informative. Never heard of any of these stories. Also the photos are video shots were excellent. I will see you in the Grenadier one night ! Could you bring a tenner with you do you please ?
This vlog was awesome! Great stories delivered by a fantastic narrator. I can't wait to hopefully meet Richard Jones in person when I do his ghost tour in London. I'm coming to London in November 2026 and I've bookmarked The London Ghost Walk website to reserve closer to the date.
Another great video, Richard. Very in-depth and interesting, as per usual, and I hope you have a drink - a spirit perhaps - to celebrate its release. Cheers 🍻
Many thanks for this. Being a northener, I've never really visited the capital. So something like this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on what I've missed.
Cleopatra's Needle: If one were to have spoken to the relevant architechs of the work, I would expect two things: He (or they) was a Freemason, and that the placement and orientation of the sphinxes could be intended to guard LONDON from whatever may have been attached to the obelisk (or, perhaps, imprisoned within it).
What a great presentation!!, but would it be possible to do more?. I had an experience at the Spaniards Inn in Hampstead in the ladies toilets some years ago now, l was the only person in the ladies room, and the taps/ hand dryers kept coming on by themselves. Also a pub near the Embankment station again in the ladies loo, someone knocked on the door, l told them l was just coming out but Noone was waiting. When l came back to the bar area, l realised that l was the only woman there, but the landlord noticed that l was a bit shaken up, l explained what happened and was it his wife? To which he replied that they didn't use our toilets ad they were for the customers only😮😮 .. Anyway many thanks Mr Jones, l look forward to your next video a UK fan.......
I could listen to these all day! I'm currently writing a campaign for the upcoming "Cthulhu by Gaslight" role-playing game that's coming out over the next few months. (It's like "Dungeons and Dragons" but is set in a late Victorian England populated by the Horrors of The Cthulhu Mythos). All of this stuff is GREAT inspiration... The first adventure occurs across Primrose Hill and (naturally...) Whitechapel and features Druids (Enter DI Edmund Reid!) and something resembling Spring-heeled Jack. The next two adventures travel off "Oop North" then down to Devon, and Part five is set in a fictional army garrison/fort in Essex. Part six is the culmination, but I still need a part four... and I haven't done an actual "Ghost Story" yet. I do love the look of "Ye Olde Cock" Tavern, what with it being on the doorstep of the Temple Church...
I think I saw a ghost once. I didn't even think it was a ghost at the time. It was just that later I thought : "Hang on. Where did he come from ?" Somebody had emerged from an empty room.
I live in a haunted house... One night, (on my own that night) saw a glowing man on the landing, 'who broke in?' then realised no legs from knees down... 'phew, just one of the Spirits in the house!' seen him 6 or 7 times
hello Jack the Ripper channel love London England ghost stories and London England haunted history and do you have any ghost stories about jack the rippers victims and I know that jack the rippers victim are still haunted stories about them
There is a ghost story about the murder sight of Annie Chapman recounted in the book ‘Jack the Ripper- One Hundred Years of Mystery’ by Peter Underwood (Blandford Press 1987) among other places. The story as related by a Mr Chapman. (Presumably no relation to Annie.) is that on at least four separate occasions spread over a number of years, he pulled back the curtain of his interior apartment window that looked out on the interior passageway of number 29 Hanbury St to witness a man and a woman disappearing along that same passageway. According to Mr Chapman, it was always the same pair performing exactly the same actions, with the woman looking rather old and bent, as the man, dressed in a heavy topcoat and a tall hat, helped her along the passageway towards the back yard. These supposed apparitions would usually appear in the very early hours of the morning during the autumn months. I have no idea if there’s any truth to this account or not, But it makes for a good ghost story.👻
I think that haunting the Grenadier would be much more entertaining than haunting any grave site. I have never understood this business of haunting grave sites. There are much more interesting places in the world. Of course, I don't know what the rules of haunting are. 🇺🇸🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🌧
At 44.57 approx in the piece about the Langham Hotel if you look up at the the top left of the building at the cornice ( balcony ? ) below the highest tower section there is a dark shape which appears to move ! Could be a perfectly normal explanation but who knows !
I wouldn't argue with you, not being from London I wouldn't really know, but postcodes sometimes don't make any sense. Bedford, which has its own county, has a Milton Keynes postcode (MK). Milton Keynes is in Buckinghamshire.
Would it seem the prophets forecasting views of the future, left the key for time difference to continue participation with the normal dimension for the injured to lean on for comfort?
I have some off the stuff of most haunted, but i find it boring, Great British Ghosts, Curious world and off course this channel do a much better job. Just tell a good ghost story and don't make to much fuss around it.
Absolutely brilliant episode. Please do more of these as they always make a great yarn
Will do Barry, glad you enjoyed it.
I agree. This is a really fun episode to listen to as I do enjoy a good ghost story.
Will you be doing the ghosts East end of london
I love this spooky stuff and the narrator is absolutely perfect for it!
For decades this was my old stomping ground...great video that has left me deeply nostalgic and contemplative.
It'sa fascinating area. Glad the video brought back memories.
A fascinating presentation for Halloween! Thank you, Mr. Jones.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Jones, for this Halloween special! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
Absolutely wonderful British accent , perfect voice for storytelling. I just love ghost stories from the UK.💕🙏🇬🇧
I feel like with a lot of passings that occur in home but have their spirits reappear in places other than their homes it’s their way of watching over places they loved in the past. Perhaps Mr. Buckstone is acting as a guardian spirit, watching over the place he had so many happy and fond memories of when he was alive. If that is the case I hope he approves of the plays performed at the Theatre Royal.
…and some additional fascinating historical facts squeezed into this fine story.
Well done sir.
Calgary, Canada

Thank you Richard a nice sequel to last year's Ghost Stories From The Old City

Thanks again for another great video Mr. Jones. I'm definitely taking one of you tours, If I'm ever lucky enough to visit London.
Love this channel love london
Oh Richard, you know everything about London, apart from who was Jack The Ripper
It does feel good though knowing who Jack was, it feels very good!
Best London podcast I have ever seen!!! You rock dude!!!
Just came across this channel, enjoyed all the spooky ghostly stories,and a very good narrator, thank you for uploading this episode
Many thanks for this. Being a northener, I've never really visited the capital. So something like this is a perfect opportunity to catch up on what I've missed.
Marvelous!
Thank you.
'Fruit/s of your labour' - (singular). Your voice is very pleasant to listen to, no need to worry about Patrick Stewart!
Goosebumps from start to finish-these stories feel so real it’s like I was there! Never working the night shift alone again!
Very entertaining 👻
Thank you, John.

Sounds fascinating, Andrew! Keep us posted!
Let us know more about it when you can Andrew.
I have seen several ghosts and apparitions in my life, not one of them was frightening in any way. They seemed friendly or simply peaceable.
I think I saw a ghost once. I didn't even think it was a ghost at the time. It was just that later I thought : "Hang on. Where did he come from ?" Somebody had emerged from an empty room.
I live in a haunted house... One night, (on my own that night) saw a glowing man on the landing, 'who broke in?' then realised no legs from knees down... 'phew, just one of the Spirits in the house!' seen him 6 or 7 times
The late Richard Jones? Nothing on the Web about him departing. Could listen to his voice all day. History made simple and interesting x
Very enjoyable !
This was truly wonderful and though his voice was so soothing. Sorry to see he has passed.. hoping he's having a grand ol time in the afterlife!
How about a video of the ghosts of the old Victorian London Hospitals?
I encountered many spirits when living in London......Jamesons, Gordons, Smirnoff.....
I visited The Grenadier back on Halloween 1993 with my mate. it was tricky to find it, especially pre internet.
Very interesting , thank you.
happy halloween

I have no idea if there’s any truth to this account or not,
But it makes for a good ghost story.👻
@@cha5There used to also be reports of the ghost of Polly Nichols seen on Bucks Row/Durward Street as well.
John Buckstone is buried at Ladywell cemetery. I made a page for him at Find a Grave in January 2023 where you will find photos I took of his grave.
I really should get out more, visit places to determine where I want haunt in due course 😂
What better way to spend Halloween night than listening to scary stories?
Great video 👍

Looking forward to the Sweeney Todd episode 😊
I'd love to walk around London doing EVPs
HMMMM ! LOVED THE OCCASIONAL HUMOUR ! Mr. Richard Jones. " Jack the Ripper Tour". From, U.K. (2024).
Not sure youd get away with calling a pub that these days lol
😮
It's that tree over there, Richard. Run away.
It got me!
😂you forgot the politicians. They are spooky
The LATE Richard Jones? Hopefully only late for dinner.
At 44.57 approx in the piece about the Langham Hotel if you look up at the the top left of the building at the cornice ( balcony ? ) below the highest tower section there is a dark shape which appears to move ! Could be a perfectly normal explanation but who knows !
I'm watching on a tv screen it's just a person out on the balcony sorry
I’ve been in the new/old Cock Inn on Fleet Street. Never seen a ghost though. 🤣
The Ripper was….. MAYBRICK!!!
ooh, don't be disrespecting the spirits Sir, you never know!
I'm not having Fleet St as the West End! It's got an EC postcode for a start.
I wouldn't argue with you, not being from London I wouldn't really know, but postcodes sometimes don't make any sense. Bedford, which has its own county, has a Milton Keynes postcode (MK). Milton Keynes is in Buckinghamshire.
🎉❤ la la la human steps
If you're eating, put down your fork before you put your fingers in your ears!!!!
Honestly what Vlad the Impaler was worse than hung drawn an quartered
Would it seem the prophets forecasting views of the future, left the key for time difference to continue participation with the normal dimension for the injured to lean on for comfort?
Would it seem the Tree of Death being there but to where, is a sign to help avoid death?
I have some off the stuff of most haunted, but i find it boring, Great British Ghosts, Curious world and off course this channel do a much better job. Just tell a good ghost story and don't make to much fuss around it.
