Well, there’s just one day to go now and our Haunted London walks are cranking up and getting ready for Halloween - the scariest night of the year.
So where are the good places to go for walks in London and hope that you might see ghosts.
Well, for a London walk that is gauranteed to chill the marrow, you could start with the Tower of London.
Why not head in there tomorrow and see if a resident spook stirs in the darker recesses and manifests before you?
The Tower of London has stood on the City’s eastern fringe for almost 1,000 years.
As we explain on our City of London walks, it was begun by William the Conqueror in 1078 since when its grim, imposing walls have well and truly dominated the London landscape and the pages of English history.
Over the next five hundred years it evolved into a magnificent Royal Palace, home to successive monarchs.
But it is its reputation as a place of imprisonment, torture and execution that brings people flocking to its history steeped interior and makes it such a popular inclusion on our various London walks in the City.
The long list of names who have, over the centuries, passed through its gates reads like a Who’s Who of English History.
Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, Guy Fawkes, Sir Walter Raleigh and many others spent their final days, months or even years locked up inside its thick walls.
The sufferring of their final days can only be guessed at since few of them left any written and it was often just the cold stone that bore silent witness to their torment.
So it probably isn’t that much of a surprise that the Tower of London has the reputation of being the capital’s, if not England’s Most Haunted building.
So pay it a visit on Halloween, walk its battlements, shiver in its cells, and who knows, maybe a ghost or two will cross the veil and appear before you.
