1. The Tower of London, London<\/a><\/h2>\n

Kicking off our guide to the most haunted places in the UK is one of the capital’s most recognised landmarks and visited by tourists from all across the globe. The Tower of London is also one of the oldest surviving Norman fortresses, built shortly after William the Conqueror’s arrival in England almost a thousand years ago.<\/p>\n

Here, many famous figures were imprisoned and executed, some of the most notable being Sir Francis Drake and two of Henry VIII’s wives (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard), as well as the elusive ‘Princes in the Tower’, a tale that still puzzles historians to this day.<\/p>\n

Having such a rich history, it should come as no surprise to hear that this attraction is also one of the UK’s spookiest and most haunted locations, said to be home to around thirteen ghosts.<\/p>\n

Some of the most famous include the likes of Guy Fawkes, whose screams are said to be heard rattling around the tower. However, one of the strangest reported ghosts is that of a bear, which was formerly kept in the Royal Menagerie on the western side of the complex!<\/p>\n
