A historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London
POPULARITY
The Tower of London has watched over the city for nearly a millennium. If you are a priceless Jewel, the Tower is your protector. To countless of the city's accused, a captor.Royals, regals, religious, and rogues. The Tower has seen them all.Many have been famous, and many more have been lost to history.Holding in all of these secrets is a challenge for the Tower, and, late at night, after the tourists have gone, perhaps the fortress wants to release some of its tension. Perhaps some former tower residents, want to stand as witnesses and keep memories - even ghastly memories - alive. In this episode we share stories of two lesser known Tudor ghosts, and we bump into some more along the way. Take a look at our SHOW NOTES for images, sources, and more.
This week is the third part of our mini-series on spaces we love. We'll be joining Assistant Curator Alfred Hawkins, who has chosen to take us into the Chapel of St John the Evangelist, at the Tower of London. As the most important space in the White Tower, the Chapel Royal holds huge historic significance in representing the Norman Conquest's power, control and religious dominance. Alfred explores how a recent project will protect this space of immeasurable importance, for generations to come. To view inside the Chapel of St John the Evangelist, take our Virtual Tour with Google Arts & Culture.
I am on the road today (check out my Instagram to see what I am up to @british_history_tours) but I have pre-recorded a special episode of Tea Time History Chat Live. Special guest, Amanda Glover joined me to talk about her groundbreaking research into the letter supposedly written by Anne Boleyn, to her husband Henry VIII, 4 days into her incarceration at the Tower of London and 13 days before her execution. Historians have long debated the letter's authenticity and whether Anne did actually write the letter. Amanda's research adds more clues to this long debated mystery.You can also watch this episode on Youtube at youtube.com/BritishHistory Get full access to British History at philippab.substack.com/subscribe

(Hosts: Christine and Kristin) Since the Middle Ages, the Tower of London has fulfilled many roles including hosting the Crown Jewels. It has, more infamously, also been a prison for many who were viewed as threats or criminals–leading to no shortage of fascinating stories tied to this property. In this episode, Christine and Kristin each share one of their favorite stories about riveting historical figures who found themselves captive in the Tower: Gruffudd ap Llywelyn (son of a Welsh prince) and Ranulf Flambard (the Bishop of Durham).

The Tower of London holds an incredible collection of historic graffiti, from the prisoners of the Tudor dynasty, right through to the 20th century. But there is still so much that we don't know about who made the graffiti and why. In this episode, we follow Postdoctoral Research Associate Jamie Inghram into the Salt Tower, a legendary prisoner tower in the precinct of the Tower of London. The Salt Tower is rich with graffiti including some examples that have never been investigated before. Jamie talks us through the very early stages of a new research project that is hoping to reveal the secrets of this history. This episode is part of a series where we're exploring fresh research that is taking place in our Palaces. We won't be releasing this sequentially, so these episodes will appear throughout the year.

As well as being Queen of the Castle, Meghan is also a novelist and TikTok star, and she owns a very cute dog called Ethel. Open the gates!

IN THIS EPISODE: With all the nastiness and violence that has taken place around the Tower of London, you'd probably expect to come across a spook or twelve… but would you be surprised to find out that it's also haunted by a spectral bear? (Ghost Bear of the Tower of London) *** In the winter of 1982, Alan Phillips was lost in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, in temperatures of -22°F (-30°C), in a blinding snowstorm. His survival and rescue was seen as miraculous… and then later it was found out that rescuers had just saved the life of a serial killer. (The Miracle Rescue of a Serial Killer) *** A famous silent-film actress suddenly disappears at sea. Was she the victim of foul play? Did she fall overboard? Or was it all a hoax simply to gain publicity? (The Case of the Vanishing Movie Star) *** Ghosts are almost always scary – but the most terrifying are those that become violent. The poltergeists. We'll look at five of the most violent poltergeist cases of all time. There are some ghosts you do not want inside your home. (Violent Poltergeists) *** Camping is always fun – getting together with friends or family, pitching a tent, roasting hotdogs on an open fire, telling ghost stories, hearing a snap of a twig in the brush behind you, seeing glowing eyes in the darkness, hearing animal-like growls coming from just outside your tent in the middle of the night… what's there not to like? Okay, so maybe camping can be a bit creepy, as we'll find out from a few Redditors who share some of their scariest camping experiences.

The place with the most history surrounding it in London is undoubtedly the Tower. This building has many myths and legends assigned to its historic reign over the capital. One of these myths is its feathered friends, the ravens. These majestic birds are said to be the key in keeping the kingdom alive and have been on site for almost 1000 years. The myth behind the famous saying is not entirely known and today we explore just where it may have come from and if there is any truth to it.

This is a story of controversy; actually, more than one controversy. It's a story of medieval kings and queens, of revenge, and of a letter that challenges the circumstances historians thought they knew surrounding King Edward II's death – including possible blackmail. Or maybe not blackmail. Stick with us while we try to sort it out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is also a place of rich and complex history that is said to still affect this location today.So snuggle in my spooky friends…you are about to hear about the terrifying ghosts that haunt the Tower of London.

The Tower of London has been many things through its over 900 years of history. Royal palace, fortress, menagerie, armoury, treasury, Royal Mint, public record office, and now, a tourist attraction. Given the sheer amount of death, torture, and violence associated with the building, ghosts are somewhat inevitable. The Lost Princes, Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, and Sir Walter Raleigh are among the most notable. It would be impossible to do all the ghosts justice in one episode. So let's investigate some of its best-known phantoms in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Tower of London (1962), Ghost Nursing (1982), and Stir of Echoes (1999). Believe it or not, but it's a tradition to tell spooky stories around Christmas time. Just think of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol! While some tales might be told to give one pause about how they are acting towards others, to maybe change your ways, or some told to pass on a message of hope, while others are there just to scare the crap out of you! In this episode, we're going to cover three completely different films that all deal with ghosts, in a variety of settings, times, and even countries! This just shows how international the ghost story is, though maybe changed around a bit depending on your beliefs, there is always a reason for these spirts to appear. Movies mentioned in this episode are: The Acid Eaters (1967), Black Christmas (1974), Blacula (1972), Brutal Sorcery (1983), Curse of the Undead (1959), Dream Home (2010), Duel (1971), Easy Money (1969), Eat My Dust (1976), Friday the 13th (1980), Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Ghost Nursing (1982), Haunted Palace (1963), House of Usher (1960), The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957), Krampus (2015), The Legend of Hell House (1973), Mr. Vampire (1985), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961), Pit Stop (1969), The Raven (1963), Seeding of a Ghost (1983), Silent Night Deadly Night (1984), The Sixth Sense (1999), Stir of Echoes (1999), The Terror (1963), Tower of London (1962), The Trip (1967), The Twilight People (1972), War of the Colossal Beast (1958)

While we may not be a history podcast, today we embark on a journey to a place where history, intrigue, and the supernatural converge – the infamous Tower of London. This ancient fortress, nearly a millennium old, holds within its walls a treasure trove of stories, mysteries, and restless spirits. In this episode, we'll provide a brief overview of the Tower's rich history, delving into the origins of some of the most notorious ghosts that are said to haunt its hallowed halls.Sources:Executions at the Tower of London from Capital Punishment in the UKTower of London 3D from Tiki TokiTower of London Timeline of Historical Events from Britain ExpressThe Tower of London's Haunted History from Weird HistoryThe Haunting History of the Tower of London from BuzzFeed UnsolvedThe 13 Ghosts of the Tower of London from London Walks13 Ghosts of the Tower of London from Authentic VacationsSee ya next Wednesday!

(Another chance to listen to one of our most popular episodes!)Prepare yourself to be transported back to 16th and 17th century England, where religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics were at fever-pitch. We promise to unveil the untold story of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, an event in British history often shrouded in myth and misinformation. With esteemed historian Bill Cunningham as our guide, we'll walk you through the gripping tale of how a group of Catholic conspirators, led by the charismatic Robert Catesby, planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament.As we journey through this fascinating period, we'll shine a spotlight on each key player - from the misunderstood Guy Fawkes, often mistakenly identified as the plot's mastermind, to the lesser-known conspirators such as the Wintour Brothers, Thomas Percy, Francis Tresham, and Everard Digby. Bill helps us unravel the intricate web of their interrelationships, as well as the clandestine meetings where they hatched their audacious plot, a plot born from deep-seated resentment and the desire for religious freedom. Together, we'll expose the nail-biting aftermath of the plot - the swift apprehension of the conspirators, their chilling trials at the Tower of London, and the ingenious way Guy Fawkes managed to dodge an even more gruesome fate.

"Give me thy grace, good Lord, To set the world at naught;" The 16th and 17th centuries produced a number of men whose courageous faith was accompanied by prodigious learning and literary talent. Among these was St. Thomas More, who wrote poems while languishing in the Tower of London, 1534-1535. Read here are "Lewis the Lost Lover" and "Davey the Dicer", both written in the Tower of London, as well as a meditation written in the margins of More's prayer book while he was imprisoned.

(Ghost Bear of the Tower of London) *** In the winter of 1982, Alan Phillips was lost in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, in temperatures of -22°F (-30°C), in a blinding snowstorm. His survival and rescue was seen as miraculous… and then later it was found out that rescuers had just saved the life of a serial killer. (The Miracle Rescue of a Serial Killer) *** A famous silent-film actress suddenly disappears at sea. Was she the victim of foul play? Did she fall overboard? Or was it all a hoax simply to gain publicity? (The Case of the Vanishing Movie Star) *** Ghosts are almost always scary – but the most terrifying are those that become violent. The poltergeists. We'll look at five of the most violent poltergeist cases of all time. There are some ghosts you do not want inside your home. (Violent Poltergeists) *** Camping is always fun – getting together with friends or family, pitching a tent, roasting hotdogs on an open fire, telling ghost stories, hearing a snap of a twig in the brush behind you, seeing glowing eyes in the darkness, hearing animal-like growls coming from just outside your tent in the middle of the night… what's there not to like? Okay, so maybe camping can be a bit creepy, as we'll find out from a few Redditors who share some of their scariest camping experiences.
