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

i was a coldstream guardsman and have done many many guards at the tower of london, Buckingham palace, st james palace and windsor castle. I've seen and heard lots of weird of weird things during night patrols around the grounds, it was awesome being able to patrol around there whilst it was dark and nobody there, i have to say the tower of London was definitely the best 100 %
I served in the WRAC in the early 70s and I went out with a Coldstream guard. He said he saw the ghost of Anne Boylyn twice.
If you want more London Underground ghost stories you should watch the documentary ‘ghosts of the underground’. It’s a worthwhile hour long watch
Is that the documentary narrated by actor Paul Mcgann? Yes it's excellent and recounts some very creepy and believable stories of unexplained experiences on the London underground.
Edinburgh would be a good one to do as well
Old part of Edinburgh is creepy as hell
Yup
Yessss
THANKS A LOT. Top 5 is awesome...THEY HAVE INSPIRED ME TO START MY OWN SCARY VIDEO CHANNEL. please be sure to check it out and let me know what you think. LOTS OF NEW VIDEOS ON THE WAY 🙂🙂🙂
York too
Waited for part 2 so I could watch them back to back. Would love to visit London. Not just for the haunted history but just to walk the streets and see the sites. Thanks for sharing these.
You have the most calming and sincere voice on TH-cam. I could listen to your videos all day and all night
One of my favourite London ghosts is a phantom Number 7 bus, that is supposed to haunt the streets of Ladbroke Grove. Hurtling down the road on fog bound nights with lights ablazing, but no one aboard.
I think I heard about that too. Used to go round Britain on ghost tours with my friend (when we were younger and free of family responsibilities lol), and while we did visit London a couple times for it too, as you might imagine, the place is so big we never got around to covering everything though. One day we must make an effort to do it again though for old times' sake.
Top5s - you should do some videos on forgotten and legendary hidden places in cities (secret basements of Grand Central, the Fleet River tunnels under London, ghost subway stations, Chicago's abandoned freight tunnels, etc.) That would be really neat!

@@thehaunter6729 Hi, I did check out your channel. One suggestion...I'm not sure who is doing the narration, but it's very "bright" in tone (if that makes sense). I feel a big reason Top5s is successful is because their narrator. They really set a tone for the content. So I would suggest having the narrator try to change the bright, upbeat way they present, since your content is focused on horror. Just a thought. Good luck on your channel!
@@singbike5832 thanks man, really appreciate the feedback🙂
@@thehaunter6729 no problem!
However you might say it "The Phantom Flusher" will never be not funny
xDDD
It means flushing down a ghost turd that makes you whipe your ass when its not needed.
The kind that you wipe and you go "huh" discovvering there are no trails on the TP
There’s a ghost in my house that waits till everyone goes out and then leaves the toilet seat up. At least I hope it’s a ghost and not someone living in my house..
I have left a comment on the first part of this series. I sincerely hope that you will take the time to read it and give it some consideration.
On this video, I think that you did a superlative job with the narration and the stories. While I have never been to London or England or for that matter any of the local countries, this video would definitely give me a reason to go . From the Emerald Ilse of Ireland to Wales , Scotland and finally England and all they have to offer.
Thank you very much for all the time and effort that that you put into making this video. They seemed to have been well researched and the narration was as always amazing..
20:11: I just learnt about the Moorgate disaster this past week. I'm partial to the hypothesis that he was afflicted with akinenetic mutism (i. e. his brain refused to transmit impulses commanding his appendages to move), as from what I've heard about the driver Leslie Newsom, he seemed to have no intention of ending his life (he was prepared to meet with his daughter after his shift). Even if he did, I get the impression that he would not have done so in a way that would take anyone else with him: his coworkers all described him as conscientious.
I find the entirety of that crash eerie, though, as much or more so than any alleged paranormal activity. Especially if the akinetic mutism hypothesis correct, which would mean that poor Newsom had to watch helplessly as his train sped into the barrier and he couldn't make himself do anything to mitigate the crash. Very night-terror-esque, but with realized consequences. Also the vivid detail that one survivor relayed who witnessed people in front of him die is just horrific to envision.
London has to have one of the most fascinating historys of any city in the world, there are some amazing passageways between buildings that never get seen by the public and I've seen and heard some bizzare things, especially along the Kings Road in Sloane Square
The ToL has some suffocatingly claustrophobic inhumane cells and access ways of awful confinement.
😲☠️👀 and the end of the week 😲🕛
You should check out the books "Underground London" by Stephen Smith and "London Under" by Peter Ackroyd.
Kings road is very long . Lots on it
Another wonderful video, loved how you mentioned part of your old content with new information, plus new and ghost sightings with a decent amount of information about the subject.
You've got the perfect voice for this! 👍🏾Don't ever quit
While in the Tower of London, I spent some time wandering alone and got down into what seemed to be a circular cell with a little window. It was inside one of the corners of the tower. I stepped in, and it was quite small, then walked over to the window to look out. At the window, I had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to get out of that little room, I looked toward the door and the metal cell door was held open, but i went for it immediately. Some people were about to come in, and I nearly knocked them over to get out. Whatever/whoever was in that cell, I was immensely grateful I could "just leave" - and appreciated that they spent too much time realizing that they couldn't!
I think I know the little room/cell you're talking about. I was there many years ago and also ended up in this little circular room with a tiny window, by myself. The person I was with was still outside and I had this overwhelming 'heaviness' come over me and I was out of there. The person I was with started to enter and asked if I was coming in, I said 'no, I don't like it in there', he just giggled at me and went in. I asked him if he felt 'funny' in there, he said no.
I knew about Anne Boleyn but, I only found out about the Princes later. So, yes, if it was the same room, I'm with you on that one.👍👍
There's an airfield near my cottage, I can see the control tower from my kitchen window. I went over to take a look at the tower many years ago, I was taken aback to see 3 airmen in the control tower. They were looking for something in the ruined tower and didnt notice me so I left them to it and went home on my push bike. Later I found out that a ww2 bomber had crashed landed there and 3 crew died while the other 2 crew survived. I always wondered if they were looking for their crew mates who didnt join them in the afterlife. A few years ago I went back and left a local newspaper with the days date, if they can see it they might understand that time has passed and what their looking for is'nt coming.
Has anyone ever seen the classic, "Five Million Years To Earth!"?
It was actually kind of a movie for a series that never came off, featuring hairy and unkempt Alan Quarterman...
There is an early scene where a policeman explains why a particular poor neighborhood, Hobbs Lane, was considered haunted while showing the scientists around the abandoned houses... he becomes more and more frightened while talking until he's shaking and wild eyed. It's a great effect and sets the atmosphere for a truly bizarre discovery which threatens all of London, and mankind....
Sounds like you're referring to Quatermass and the Pitt. There was a black and white BBC TV series as well as a colour film (which I think in some countries had the title you mention). Both the TV series and film have some well executed creepy moments. There are also two black and white films about different Bernard Quatermass stories and a colour TV series starring John Mills that I've never seen.
Keep bringing them bro! My absolute favorite month for your channels! Multiple years in a row! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
This guy deserves at least 2 million more followers for sure. Been following this content for years and it never disappoints!
Just perfect, traditional ghost stories, narrated beautifully
❣💀❣👻❣
The [Legendary] Series Continues!
British Museum Station did not have any artefacts on show in it - it wasn't connected to the museum, just nearby. The story of the Egyptian Mummy originates in another apocryphal tale, that of a Mummy of a priestess, which was supposedly cursed, and anyone who touched, photographed, or even looked at it too long, would be injured, mutilated, or die. A story of a tunnel leading from the museum to the closed (1933) station, is based on a plot point of the 1935 thriller movie, 'Bulldog Jack'. The 'cursed' mummy, despite tales that it was on board the RMS Titanic when it sank, can still be viewed in room 62 of The British Museum.
London must have more ghosts and hauntings per square foot than Transylvania has vampires
So much great content, thanks for all that you do
I love London 🇬🇧💓
I really miss your Murderous Minds videos. Since I don't have a bank account I can't pay for Patreon. But really wish I could watch them.
I love this historical stuff. Top5s does it so well. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
One correction, accident in Morgate station wasn't the deadliest or the worst accident in the history. That title goes to Baku metro in Azerbaijan. In 1995 fire broke out in the train between the stations Ulduz and Narimanov, killing 289 people and injuring 270. Remains as the deadliest and worst subway accident occurred in the world.
My favorite place in the UK (so far) is the Tower of London... The energy is palpable when you're in certain areas and 'cells.' If you go anywhere in the UK, that should be on top of your list. Try and go when there aren't as many tourists, as you can relax a bit and enjoy it. The walls carved with names of those kept prisoner was spooky to run my hands over!!
Also, the Crown Jewels are kept there. I didn't realize most were from Russia's escaping civil war, so read up on that bit of history, too.
i was a coldstream guardsman and have done many guards there, its even better at night doing patrols around the grounds, I've heard and seen lots of weird things there mainly near the white tower were the beheadings took place and around the bloody tower where the two princes got murdered, the tower is definitely a national treasure!
The fire at Kings Cross Underground Station killed about 30 people in 1987. I wonder if there are any hauntings associated with that terrible event.
I'd forgotten about that fire, but I wondered likewise about the victims of the 7/7 bombings.
I served in the WRAC in the early 70s and I went out with a Coldstream guard that guarded The Tower of London. He said he saw the spirit of Anne Boylyn twice.
❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love ghost stories with hidden history behind ... So i can use my imagination what it's looks like live in the past and makes me want to explore more the story from another articles and website specially if they have evidence and footage.
This was extremely interesting. Hope you do more documentary stuff like this although it is limited how much you can do. London is very unique in that aspect
You can't beat the history of London. It was literally the centre of the earth for so many years. Perhaps not anymore but that's what history does.
nice work as always top5s.
A great compilation. Thank you.
I’ve seen a documentary here on YT where it was mentioned that the portraits of Anne Boylen isn’t really of her and none of what she really looks like exists.
At 20:04 you state that Barbican tube station is now called Aldersgate but that isn’t true ! It was called Aldersgate Street when it first opened on 23 December 1865. It was then shortened to Aldersgate on 1 November 1910 and it was renamed again on 24 October 1924 as Aldersgate & Barbican. On 1 December 1968 the station's name was simplified to Barbican.
Thank you top 5. really enjoyed that.
Aside from all the bloody ad’s, great video.
15:30 The Bow Bells Pub, the pronunciation of "Bow" is as in "Bow & Arrow", not the imitation of a dog bark, "bow-wow-wow"!
Yes, for crying out loud, where is this chap from if he's never heard that "To be born within the sound of Bow Bells" is the traditional definition of a Cockney? I'm a Yank and I don't even remember how many decades it's' been since I first heard it! (However, I remember commenting about an American narrator reverse what he did by calling the nose gun turret of a PBY "Catalina" flying boat a "beau gun." As Mork used to say, "Heavy sigh...") Stay safe.
Brits will probably know more about your mispronunciations, but as a Yank, I ask, "Why, with hundreds of photos and drawings of the famous Spitfire aircraft at your disposal, did you use a drawing of the USAAF P-40 Warhawk in Flying Tigers livery at 11:15, to illustrate 'The Phantom Spitfire?' " The Spitfire's armament was four Browning .303 in each wing or 20mm guns, also wing-mounted, and no dorsal nose-mounted guns of any calibre---and _no_ shark's teeth and eyes. (They never flew with the AVG "Flying Tigers." The Curtiss-Wright P-40s of the British Commonwealth's No. 112 Squadron of the Desert Air Force had two .50 "Ma Deuce" Brownings in the nose, two Browning .303s in each wing, and the "Shark Mouth" painted on the nose. MAJOR error! Stay safe, everyone.
Barbican is still a station, and we don’t have an “Aldersgate” it’s just Aldgate.
Haha I did giggle at that
@@steph.7 As a tube worker, it annoyed me lol. I can’t stand it when people present false information as a fact 😂
@@NoddyMaccy agreed. Although I’ve never heard of “Hullborn” before, have you 🤪
@@steph.7 As I work on the Central line, I can confirm Holborn, but “Hullborn?” Perhaps that’s a new station we’re getting? 🤔
@@steph.7 It’s gonna be a hobbit sized station between HOLBORN and Tottenham Court Road 😉😉
I am sure the Enfield one was a hoax and they came clean on it when they were adults.
Apart from that it was a great video.
Actually to this day their story remains the same.
Nine ads?! My gracious.
I never get ads. I use Windows 10 with AD BLOCK added. Never see ads on any site.
@@SharkDude1 thank you so much for the tip!
Thank U So Much❤I enjoyed it🤘💙
I never walked so much in my life than when I was in the UK... especially London... Thank goodness for the Tube and other public transport!! Even if you had a car and could drive, unless you've lived there or had a guide, you'd get lost in the maze of streets.
Not sure if you have ever done a video about it, but Stratford-Upon-Avon in the UK would be rlly interesting! (It’s the birthplace of Shakespeare) I once did a ghost tour at the workshop n it was terrifying 😂
Part 1, Part 2 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
would love to visit london one day! heard so many stories!!
Top 5 is the top one you all do great stuff and I know it takes a team your amazing
My my my, Elgin House you say.
Well I'm an Ealing-tonian and last November I was looking at a flat in that/those blocks. For my brother who was away. Needless to say, we didn't take it.
I played in Montpellier Park and fed the Squirrels there. Lived over the road from the 'location' and for all the exploration of kids of my era, we somehow avoided the grounds on which Elgin Court now stands. Another interesting point, none of the blocks are built up. There is a ground floor and 1st floor, that's it.
Where I lived in the late 80's my bedroom window looked out on Stanley Court, where if memory serves a lady was murdered in 1988 with a crossbow. Not sure if there's any activity there 🤔 all I remember is the curtains were drawn for almost 3 weeks.
Over the road (continuation of Montpellier) on the other side of the roundabout near St. Benedicts... ohhhh I don't know what happened there, but there's a rather peculiar energy. All these are like a hop skip and jump apart.
GOOD JOB!!!
Awesome 👌 video
Yay! Ealing, West London was mentioned 😊
I'm from Ealing and Montpellier Road isn't far from my families house and I never knew this. 🙈
The phantom flusher lol
William Terris' murder was featured on Forgotten Lives Channel a couple weeks ago. Check out Forgotten Lives as it's a good channel.
I can honestly say Bethnal Green station has a feel to it, Ive walked up and down those stairs so many times over the years.
Sooooo good 👌
Are you sure there are not THREE girls in the picture with the woman and the carriage? I see half a face on the left side.
Yes, I hit the like button before I watched!

@@thehaunter6729 I’ll check it out!’ 💀
@@LimpBizkit999 thanks bro 🙂
This was exceedingly difficult to watch on mobile. Literally 2 30 second ad rolls every 2 minutes. They were skippable at least, but wow. Had to keep minimizing what i was doing just to continue the video.
Avira Adguard 😉
The history is so captivating
Could've added the mysterious Phantom bus of london.
loved the last one
Yeah London Underground specially when it comes these stations like of but bethnal green also Baker street and Finchley Road for suicides over the years
Welp, time to go to London.
The Tower 🗼 of London not only Sir Walter Raleigh' lost his head 🗣️ but Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey and dozens of others
Y’all are a beast
I’m sorry but I could take a photo of anything and blow it up and look at one little crevice and say hey! That looks just like the ghost of John Lennon?! I love the Beatles.
I want to visit London someday
20:58 In this event, 3 members of the Lechmere family died.
I live near bethnal green.. and it's one of my local stations
23:59 a 3000 year old ghost.
Any sightings of william wallace his head is in the tower
14:23 BRUH YOU FREIGHTENED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Picture this, im watching this video and I get to there and google microphone opens up by itself and says "Court is now sitting" Its the mic picking up on the video. My week has been horrible and I thought this was a spiritual court thats being formed to put me on trial or smth. Smh. (Eglington Court reads as "Ok/Hey google")
Smaller identical in type and everything: Peveril Castle/Keep in Castleton, Derbyshire.
BTW Bow Bells is pronounced Bo Bells, not Bow, as in wow.
More creepy Londinium! Huzzah!

Narrative of Self is the result of a feedback loop between “Separate Self” & Cosmos 🔴 Non-Duality
Nottingham Castle and its caves
Montpelier Road is literally 5 mins from me and I feel sick 😩😩
wow so near!!
do ghosts of paris next
It would be interested to see a piece on the hauntings in the underground caused by the king's Cross disaster
Anyone else get this message about winning a ps5?
Just been watching series about the tower of london
Just a FYI, not a criticism, but when it comes to older British men with the name, "Maurice" is pronounced "Morris". I used to care for an elderly man called this back when I was working in the care industry, and I originally made the same mistake. Much to his dismay lol. I believe the way you pronounced it is more similar to the female equivalent.
Considering modern generation gender shenanigans, it'd be impossible to guarantee getting it right for modern people though, although I doubt it's a widely used name anymore anyway.
The Enfield so-called haunting was a sad case of a conflicted child creating nonsense. She supposedly "levitated," when in reality Janet was a sports champion. She only began speaking (with the voice of a dead former resident of the home) AFTER Maurice Gross suggested it. Perhaps there was some form of poltergeist moving heavy furniture, but most of what happened could be explained by having troubled kids faking things that Gross swallowed whole as psychic phenomena.
Was that the so-called site of the girls levitating? A child of six could see they were bouncing on the bed and the photograph(s?) merely caught them before gravity brought them back. It's been debunked many times for years. (Of course, "Believers" can't be convinced otherwise.) Stay safe.
@@oldenweery7510 Yes, it is. Janet claimed she was being launched from the bed, while it was abundantly clear she was jumping.
Make some south Asian haunted places like India Goa..
Why don’t we ever hear stories about caveman ghosts? What about dinosaur ghosts?
That certainly would be interesting. Caveman ghosts would be pretty spooky.
Here:)
Epic
This good. The kray twins were in the town for failing to do there national servicein 1952. 😊😊
finally :)
9:00 When you refer to a First Floor office in Buckingham Palace, you had better be referring to an office in the floor ABOVE Ground Floor!
6:33 I'm such a simp I wanna simp for this painting.
Not me scared to take a shower incase a ghost runs it’s hand down my spine
Suppab bruh ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Interesting about the Kray twins
Fun fact: London is home to someone with an Erie voice, Eskify
I know him ✋
the bbc made a halloween drama called ghostwatch they used the enfield poltergiest case as the basis
