Overview

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Heavier still are the stones that keep their secrets. The British monarchy possesses an unbroken, blood-soaked history stretching back over a millennium. Behind the gilded gates, priceless tapestries, and manicured gardens of Britain's royal palaces lies a terrifying legacy of absolute power, ruthless executions, locked-away madness, and unimaginable sorrow. These massive stone fortresses have absorbed the triumphs and the tragedies of kings and queens for centuries. And in buildings with this much history, the past refuses to vacate the throne. In Ghosts of Britain's Royal Palaces, you will step past the velvet ropes and into the most heavily secured, historically saturated ""stone tape"" environments on earth. This chilling collection bypasses the tourist brochures to deliver the terrifying, highly documented paranormal encounters reported by Yeoman Warders, night watchmen, and the royal household staff themselves. Walk the royal corridors and discover: The Haunted Gallery of Hampton Court: The paralyzing cold spots and blood-curdling screams of Catherine Howard, eternally begging Henry VIII for her life. The Bloody Tower: The heartbreaking, residual echoes of the Princes in the Tower, where modern guards still hear the muffled weeping of children in the pitch-black stairwells. Windsor Castle's Royal Library: The highly credible, recurring sightings of Queen Elizabeth I, accompanied by the overwhelming scent of 16th-century lavender and the sharp crack of high-heeled footsteps. The Martin Tower Phantom: The terrifying, lethal encounter where a Tower of London sentry died of shock after thrusting his bayonet into the spectral apparition of a massive bear. Perfect for fans of British royal history, dark tourism, and true paranormal encounters, this book pulls back the heavy velvet curtains on the deepest, darkest terrors of the Crown. Enter the royal gates. But be warned: you are walking in the footsteps of the dead.
