Few cities in the world can claim to have as long and important a place in history as London. Given such a long history, it is understandable that those who believe or study the paranormal can find a wealth of cases from within the sprawling metropolis and urban extremities. Here we look at just a few of the notable cases of the Ghosts of London.
We want your stories! To submit any creepy personal stories or send in footage etc you may have caught over the years and can't explain, please email: mystory@top5s.co.uk

A ghost chicken...... what the cluck !!
@Rick Storm
The Samuel L. Jackson chicken!!
LOLIMON! (Laughing Out Loud In [the] Middle Of [the] Night!)
That's just fowl!
The Ghost Chicken!😂 They should make a Horror movie about this. “Revenge of the Drumsticks “. 😂
LOL!!!! A new version of the "Why did the chicken cross the road" joke!
Uhh have you not seen Poultrygeist? LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Shawshankdude2005 🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️☠️
A semi plucked one as well, not just an ordinary ghost chicken.... 👻🐔
You should consider on doing a series on haunted cities or towns with a disturbing history.
Bruh, literally every town/city in the world has some kind of spooky history
The Baron Palace in Cairo, Egypt is said to be haunted
I’ve never gone there myself but it was rumoured for decades to “drive people mad” if they stay there a few nights.
Also, to me when I went to the Pyramids, as much as they were super cool, I thought it was extremely creepy and I felt like being there at night would scare the fk out of me, many people died inside of it while building it, bodies could still be littering under its limestone blocks
Heard on fleet street they got the best pies in london. And you can get a pretty clean shave at the shop above. Might go.
famous meat pie emporium indeed. always, fresh supplies. every pie is a surprise. you won't know what's inside.
you're right, above the pie shop one may meet the barber with unmatched skills with razor. and whose shop is where men come up but never come down, at least not the way they came in. Interesting.
Mrs. Lovette is always so cheerful...but that barber gives me the shivers.
@@GravesLilDarkAngel i love Mrs. Lovett. The barber needs her hugs (and kisses). 😁😁😁
Who ever reads this hope ur having good day
Ditto!!
You too friend , we need more positive comments like these in today’s time .
Hi Nayan Panchal!😎 Nice to read your kind comment! I hope you have a nice day too, friend! And since tomorrow is All Saints' Eve; I wish you also a Happy and Scary🕸😨 Halloween!🎃 🍁 😉👍
You too, Nayan.
You too 👏🏻
One of the best narrators on the whole net, stay safe 😎
On the contrary i also listen to his videos at night to help me fall asleep, His voice is way too much soothing than ridiculous ASMR stuff
No mr. Nightmare is lol
Mr. Ballen is on a fast track in claiming that title.
One of the best? Lol. He'd make a primary school kid blush with the mispronounced words, and sometimes outright incorrect words peppered throughout his videos.
@@Stormy_69 no one cares
"Spectral chicken" ... I don't think I've ever laughed aloud at one of your videos before!
Laughed so loud I woke up my husband.
That must be what the Asian restaurants use and why I’m hungry thirty minutes after I’ve eaten.
i always listen to top 5 with some tea before going to bed. i love these stories.
London
York
Edinburgh
Paris
Prague
Amsterdam
New Orleans
Boston
These well known cities have the most ghost stories.
Many of the most terrifying are the unknowns 😱
Their pretty occult
I have read over the years that if you ever want to see a spirit then Prague is the place to go. I’ve been spiritual since childhood and the only spirit I’ve ever saw was a old man sitting on the bottom of my bed when I was a child, and he turned out to be my grandfather who died a couple of years after I was born and it wasn’t in Prague either haha 😂 but it’s true
@@mrfugazi6713 nice ❤️
@@stephenblack5425 no worries buddy I don’t ever lie especially about my spiritual side Stephen take it easy brother from Stevie boy in Britain
This makes me wanna travel to London even more.
@Rick Storm Are you from the states?
London is amazing! (from the states)
I'm from the United States & think is an amazing place. Lets be honest. They will always show us the beautiful and amazing parts of the country. While leaving and avoiding the ugly side out.
Every country has 2 sides its beauty that everyone gets to see and want to travel and that other side. Crime, low income etc.

Perfect! Right in the middle of midnight (12:20 am in Aizawl). Plus, a pouring rain outside. The atmosphere is just right. Thanks Top5s...
same here in india rain outside and midnight
@@sameerdeka3426hey bro! Lockdown sucks isn't it. But, thanks to contents like Top5s, I always make it through the day.
Lucky man bit windy here but no rain. Where is aizawl?
@@Eireann. The capital of Mizoram, which is situated in the Northeast region of India. I bet that most people in other countries never/partially heard about the people living in Northeast India. Unlike mainstream or contemporary India, we are quite different from them.
@@francislalhmuakliana766 very interesting. thank you.
Spring-heeled Jack sounds a lot like a 19th century Batman. I wonder if Bob Kane got any inspiration from that legend.
That's what I was thinking the whole time I was looking at those illustrations!
I came for this comment
I thought maybe super man lol
Frances inventing frozen food, had the unlikley surname Bacon, then Died after freezing... 🤯
I have bacon in my freezer right now. Stay safe.
A ghost chicken? Really? Imagine just how haunted abattoirs must be...
EGGstremely
I remember reading about the sailors in Berkeley Square as a kid.I was fascinated and terrorised in equal measure!
Okay. Here me out. Spring heeled jack is a time traveler
You read the book too? It's great, isn't it? Great parodoxes in it. You screw up once, going back to fix it will only make it worse. Great novel, and a lot of fun.
@@brianartillery what's the name of this book? Sounds like a great read!
@@revenevan11 - The book is entitled: 'Burton and Swinburne in the Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack', by Mark Hodder. It features real characters, such as Sir Richard Burton, explorer, and Algernon Charles Swinburne, writer. I got my copy from Amazon, but if you need to order it elsewhere, the book's ISBN is: ISBN9781906727208. Hope this has been of assistance to you.
Captain Jack Harkness 🤨
It's "hear"! Don't people proofread?
I always used to think why colonel sanders of KFC is pale white...now i know its because of the fear of *ghost chicken*
I'm FROM London, and even I think it's an amazing place, with so much more to experience that I never saw in my 43 years of living there! I love it every time I go back and never run out of new things to see!
Oh there goes that beautiful soothing voice again. I just love listening 🎧 to him.
Love when I get these notifications from Top5s!
The ghost of the chicken must have been a case of a poultrygeist 🤣
Love these! Thank god for top5’s delivering the best content.
That’s the same way I died. Attacked On my way to a duel.
Sorry to hear you got sent to the Shadow realm :(
I enjoyed this so much. Along with most anything Top 5s put out 😁
Woo nice timing, I just finished watching the last video here in the dark!
Yes! I was waiting for the video. Thank you.
When it's the month of October you know your in for a real treat from Tops 5s
This one is really nice specially the ambience, music and the stories
I was watching another top 5 video when this one popped up made my day
Idk which one is giving me more chills. The way ur speaking or the vid.
You have risen the bar again Top5s, what an amazing video. Loved it (waited until now, night time to watch it).
So excited for this!
Mmmmhmmmm spooky season & top 5’s. Cannot get any better than that!!!!❤️☺️
"Actually it's the ghost of the chicken" Expectations subverted correctly
It’s about time someone covers No. 50. I remember reading about it in a book as a child by Seymour Simon. The nameless horror
The werewolves in London are even worse.
"I didn't mean to call you meatloaf, Jack"
But their hair is perfect!
Arooooo
Drinking Pina Colada’s at Trader Vic’s?
Ooooooo this is gonna be good. Love your videos!
There is no way in 1893 that word of Sir George Tryon's death in the Mediterranean could have reached his wife the day after his death.
Please also do a video on Ghosts of Edinburgh Vaults - Loved This One!!!
Man bro your channel never gets old keep going carnal
18:00 Lord Lyttleton, the 'y' in Lyttleton(if spellt thus) is meant to be pronounced as a short 'i', rendering it as "Little-ton".
There’s an old film with Robert Morley ghosts of Berkeley square. It’s a comedy but worth the watch
Always keeping us entertained. Stay safe Fam.
Luv All Ur Videos! Thanks So Much for All Ur Hard Work💙Can't wait for the next one🤘🎃🖤👻❤💀🤘
It was a poultergeist 🐓
Thankyou! You could read the shipping forcast and it would sound exciting. X
Spectral Chicken happens to be the name of my band's first studio album
10:05 Batman confirmed
Hell yea consistent uploads
Awesome, i love these
I adore your voice it’s so soothing xx
Rick Storm what does simp mean pls?
What a well made documentary!
"Ghost Hoaxing"; Alive and well in the 21st century! 👻
But...l also believe the supernatural will always be among us...😯
You can do entire creepypasta series on the ghosts of London alone 😱
I hate that phrase "creepy pasta".
Always wanted to see London, you have great stories and hauntings and history
I could listen to your voice all day 😍
I think the oldest psychical research organisation in the world is ‘The Ghost Club’. Formed at Trinity College, Cambridge in the early 1850’s it was formerly founded in 1862.
14:30 AWW YEAH, now we gettin' to the good part we've all obviously waiting for.
The scariest thing about London is that the native people are a minority in it for nearly a decade now.
It applies as genocide according to the UN's own definition.
So true...
Thnx for giving Halloween month vibe
Sir Bacon discusing food preservation, am I the onlyone who finds this funny ?
I did some research on London in the 1700's and began to understand why my ancestors left to america. It wasn't like the nicest place to live.
I'm so excited
Springheel jack is either Batman got lost back in time or one of his ancestors
Did you go on the jack the ripper tour at all while you was in London.
I've been on that tour, very interesting. At the end they take you to see his grave.
Oh me? Yeah, just sitting outside the hospital watching ghosts of London.
"(London) continues to be one of the most influential capitals in the world" ---- Boris Johnson: "I'm about to destroy this man's entire career"
Wow 🤩 Thank you!!! 👻👻👻
Please do Edinburgh, Scotland. We have the witch trials if both Berwick too which I'm studying myself for Halloween 🎃 But aside from that we have grave robbers Burke and hare, we have decon Brodie and Maggie Dickson all who have pubs now named after them but most if all, we have grey friar's kirk or graveyard which is truly haunted and have featured in numerous TV shows. " I have the body of a pig" was said in an evp. Truly haunted city at every corner.
Introductory music was similar to Red Dead Redemption 2
Also if there was a haunting at 50 Berkeley I'd like to hear if the bookstore it is now has had any paranormal activity. If not, it could be that whatever was haunting the place was attached to an object there and not the building itself, as I bet most if not everything in there was removed before it became a book store
the bassy top5s intro, i feel itz absence
LOLOL!!!!!! Chicken Ghost! ?!?!? That is pure GOLD!
Your voice adds to the gravity of the subject
That 50 Street Warbleton haunted house before, it’s really weird reading and hearing the stories about it.
Not at all surprised a ghost cat has poltergeist tendencies
I thought so too. Like "Isn't that just regular cat behavior?"
@@Aethuviel Sure is. Cats are very sure-footed---while they're knocking things off high places onto the floor. I love 'em anyway. My current apartment has noplace to put a litter box or even food and water dishes, so I've been "catless" for the last ten years. I frequently dream about my last Fur-friend every once in a while, particularly just before waking up, expecting to find Isis Katt purring in my lap (I have to sleep in a powered "lift" recliner). Stay safe.
If frozen chickens come back as ghosts, I would think grocery stores would be paranormal chicken hotspots.
Very good story for the paranormal. I like it.
Would love to know if Berkeley square is still haunted
From what I've always heard the bookstore that resides there now has never really reported more then feeling uneasy in the attic room which I believe they now use as storage for records. I've always been fascinated with the place so as far I've been able to find it seems that by the 20th century activity has died down. There's a lot more to the story then he mentioned but he covered the most interesting.
I fell asleep last night to your stories.
Whoa paranormal documentary !.
Niice
I wish ghost chickens were real and would take revenge on humanity for what it's done to them
@Rather Chilling I agree, but I don't know why that's relevant since I'm not a troll. Ooh wait, it's because you're a troll. Now where's that block button 🤔
That Spring Heeled Jack guy sounds like Superman
It's my birthday today great listen!
Many happy returns!
@@samlarner3198 thank you Sam!
Because I'm a huge Potterhead, I just realised that some of the scenes of the Harry Potter movies were also shot there at the berkeley square in London.
Did you know that diagon alley was inspired by the street of Edinburgh?
@@teresajose2280 ohh really
Nice One
Highgate is a cemetery is it not? Newgate was the prison attatched to what is now the old Bailey on Bow Street also known as the central criminal courts London
You have a wonderful voice!
Brilliant this is what I enjoy old scary British history scary tales from Britains past... do more pls lol
Many properties have a reputation based on superstition, or overactive imagination. I think this applies to the property in Berkeley Square. Being alone in a large house with a supernatural reputation, you will always imagine things.
It has started to be my mission that all channels that feature multiple stories included in either in the description or in the comments. Two examples of such inclusion are Darkness Prevails as well as Hellfreezer.
I had asked Brimstone Below if it would be possible for him to do it and he graciously accepted my query. He now includes time stamps in the comments below as the first comment that he makes.
I understand that some of you may be wondering why even bother. I agree that it may seem to be just another crackpots just trying to get channels to change something just to prove l they can do it.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I have certain intellectual “ problems “ that interfere with my ability to comprehend written or some spoken descriptions . But if time stamps were included either in the descriptions or the comments, then I would be able to go back to the beginning and listen to it again, just to make sure that I understand. This would also help if I had a problem in the middle or just someplace in the story. Knowing where it began and where it ends would also give me the area to search for the section that I may have misunderstood.
Another reason is because sometimes the story is so good that I would like to hear it again.
I could go on but having looked at the comment I just realized how long it is. So I’ll end with this, please, if it is possible could you kindly put time stamps in either the description or the comments. I don’t know about anyone else but I will definitely appreciate it.
19:31 You said it was an amphibious mass of gray. I think you meant amorphous (not defined by a shape). Amphibious means something that works on land and sea.
very interesting stories very creepy hystory
When you hear about people spending time in an haunted room with a gun or weapon.
Spirits are all around you,
You couldn't kill a spirit even if you tried to 😂
I'd be more worried they'd make someone turn the weapon on themself.
@@revenevan11
Or their entire family...
Let’s go, I came after a couple of minutes
I know I'm watching this 3 weeks after it's release, but seriously, did anyone else laugh at the ghost chicken? Before he even revealed that part, I said to myself "Let me guess, it's not Sir Francis Bacon who is the ghost, but the chicken..." and when he confirmed my suspicion I started laughing so hard!!!
Watching this now 3:00 am here
I’m gonna use some of these to create some new Bloodborne characters!
The old English estates that are bought and sold repeatedly and quickly crack me up.
The singer Sting had such an estate. He said that he saw a woman who he thought was his wife standing in front on him... until he realized that his wife was actually next to him and seeing the same thing. Yeah, he sold the place shortly thereafter-- like so many others before him. lmao
