Product Description

Londons Underground is associated with a multitude of ghostly stories and sightings. Particular stations and abandoned lines, many of which are in close proximity to burial sites from centuries ago, have given rise to unexplained events. This chilling book reveals well-known and hitherto unpublished tales of spirits, spectres and other spooky occurrences on one of the oldest railway networks in the world. The stories of sightings include the ghost of an actress regularly witnessed on Aldywch Station and the Black Nun at Bank Station. Eerie noises, such as the cries of thirteen-year-old Anne Naylor, who was murdered in 1758 at Farringdon Station, and the screams of children who were in an accident at Bethnal Green Station during Second World War, are still heard echoing down the stations. These and many more ghostly accounts are recorded in fascinating detail in this book, which is a must-read for anyone interested in the mysterious and murky history of Londons Underground.

Spine tingling in the tube!
Will you ever travel on the underground again without constantly looking over your shoulder? Not after reading this! Lots and lots of well written stories about ghosts and unexplained happenings in the London Underground. Atmospheric and well detailed, this is the perfect reading material for curling up on cold winter nights in front of the fire. Would make a good Christmas gift for the discerning ghost story fan. I have read numerous books about haunted sites, and this one certainly does not disappoint. Highly recommended.

Excellent Book
I have to admit I purchased this book not expecting much as I have been a bit disappointed with previous books on hauntings that I have picked up. I found this book to be exactly what I was after; A solid coverage of hauntings on the London Underground without going overboard with unnecessary details.

It has details on numerous sightings and encounters throughout the network and also provides an ample amount of background information relating to the specific locations. A bonus with this book is that there are numerous photos throughout the text which are great for people like myself who are not familiar with London.

As most of the stories only cover 1-2 pages I found this book great when I had a few minutes to fill in. I definitely recommend this for anyone interested in the spooky side of the Tube.

review
Many of us go on the underground on a daily bases without a thought of these dark tunnels. On a winters night you can hear the wind down on the stations, spooky? This book tells the stories of it's ghost and the history behind the hauntings. You will never wait at the tube stations and feel the same again!!
