From a well-known story of a ghostly hitch-hiker, which quite frankly, reeks of urban legend, to a chilling tale of one man’s struggle to live with a malevolent force, here are five ghost stories from the city of London.

    Very well done. I am a retired nurse and the first story is not so hard for me to believe. Often, when caring for dying patients, they would tell me that they had seen and talked to their deceased relatives, recently, who had come to help them across into the next world. This happened so often that it didn't surprise me after awhile.

    The only channel on YouTube where you can be guaranteed originality and research based on contemporary accounts. No lazy copy and paste, no clickbait and no pandering to the lowest common demoninator. Quality over quantity and every video well worth the wait.

    Just over 10 years ago I was a student living in London. I shared a flat on Highbury New Park, N5 with 2 other students. One night both myself and my friend who had a room next to mine, heard the distinct noise of a horse clip clopping right past our windows, thing is we were on the third floor. My flat mate ran into my room and we both looked out the window as it was just weird. Less than a minute after that there was an almighty crash from the lounge and on inspecting it found an ornament in a thousand piece over the wrong side of the room and our text books open all around the room ( not where we had left them). Turns out our flat was built on the exact spot where a high explosive bomb was dropped during ww2.

    Narrator’s voice is perfect with any copy. I was “visited” by my deceased fiancé abt 8 yrs after his suicide. Stories like these, I find fascinating! 1st time to watch. Quality! I’ve subscribed!

    I have an extreme ghost phobia and a terribly overactive imagination, but when I think of ghosts as loved ones coming to sit with us the fear goes away. Great video!

    As London is 2000 years old there are many ghost stories set in different locations throughout the city.
  • A man after my own heart. The Christmas season is the time to tell ghost stories

    Great creepy stories. I think I'm in love with the narrator's voice because my husband walked by while I was listening to this and asked why I was smiling like an idiot.

    Last one was very nice. The gentlemen’s wife still looking after him.

    I haven't come across this channel before but someone puts a lot of effort into it. Very clear narration as well.
  • @STOPjammietime
    Greatly appreciate the lack of sensationalism in these videos.

    During WWII my Dad was hired to operate a Caterpillar to help with building runways for military use at a London airport. It's quite possible it was the same as spoken of in this video. I have fond memories of Dad and the stories he told of his youth in Ireland and England. He immigrated to the US, Iowa, in 1949. He married my Mom in 1951 and they had 6 kids. He farmed his entire life here as it was all he wanted to do since his childhood. My Dad passed in 1989, much too young and my Mom in 2005. When he died, my Mom gave up on life. Us kids are all still alive and scattered across the country. I still live on the family farm. BTW, my Dad lied to the foreman about his being qualified to run a Cat. In actuality, he'd never seen one before. Too young to be hired and another lie, at 16, he learned quickly. RIP

    You could do an entire video on haunted London theaters. Many years ago in London, I saw "The Woman In Black". When I read the program afterwards, I discovered that the theater was haunted. Glad I didn't know beforehand! 😊
  • I have been watching your videos for most of the day and night. However, before I go to bed, I have to say, thank you for these stories, ghosts and histories and macabre findings. I am fascinated with history and I appreciate that you take the time to thoroughly research them before putting them up. I look forward to watching more. THANK YOU!
  • There's a similar case to the last one: given by paramedics' ghost stories. In this as I recall: a man's call brings them to a house where they find this man in the house, who asks the paramedics to check on his ailing wife upstairs. When they reach the dying woman upstairs: they explain her husband had ushered them in and remained downstairs. She explains, her husband had died years earlier.

    "The unluckiest house in London" is one of my all time favourite ghost stores! And it has a St James in it, kismet <3 Thank you for sharing this horrifying and tragic gem.
