Hmm! Now here's something that scares the hell out of me! Much as I like scary movies, books and real life incidents fascinate me equally. I have a huge collection of horror books and novels, that I keep reading from time to time. Stories of haunted places and mansions keeps me occupied on a lazy, rainy evenings. Now folks, lemme share a real spooky experience with you all. When I visited the Tower of London last year, I was literally bowled over by its sheer magnificence. At the same time, I experienced an inexplicable eerie feeling, the moment I stepped in! I felt like someone invisible was watching over me from a distance!
The Tower of London, located at the eastern boundary of London, adjacent to the river Thames, is one of the most haunted historical buildings of the world! Thousands of executions, murders and tortures committed in this tower over the last 1000 years, has contributed to its "most haunted" tag. Ghostly and bizarre incidents have been spotted by guards, who are in charge of protecting this place. One of the most disturbing incidents of the tower has been Ann Boleyn's spirit, who was one of the wives of Henry VIII, beheaded in the Tower in 1536. Her apparition has been spotted on many occasions, carrying her own head, or sitting with her head on a carriage drawn by black horses!!! One of the most gruesome stories associated with this place is the death of the Countess of Salisbury, where she was hacked to death. Her spirit too haunts the place!
