Ghost of London: The West End, South and West

Ghost of London: The West End, South and West de J. A. Brooks
Jarrod Colour Publications. Inglaterra, 1982, 144 págs. B. Il.

It is inevitable that a city as deeply steeped in history as London should have a rich array of ghosts. This book tells you where to look for the ghosts of the famous – Cromwell, Anne Boleyn, Jeremy Bentham, and many more. Here too there are many other curious tales of the supernatural: the ghostly bus that may be encountered in North Kensington; the deadly mummy-case in the British Museum; and the ‘strangler jacket’ which attempted to throttle actresses who wore it.

The ghosts here span the centuries and often illuminate dark corners of the past. This is the second part of Ghosts of London, dealing with the West End plus the south and west of Greater London. The first part, the companion volume, covers the City and East End, with Greater London to the north and east.
