- Welcome to The Tower of London: Did I encounter a GHOST? Viewers' stories and Josef Jakobs.
In this video we look at some of the wonderful comments sent in by viewers, interesting experiences had by those who’ve served at the Tower. In 2007 I had a bit of an odd experience at The White Tower. Did I experience something paranormal? Whatever it was left a lasting impression on me! We look a bit more at the life of German Spy Josef Jakobs and the timeline of events leading up to his execution.
This video follows on from Ghosts of the Tower of London Part 3 where I covered stories of the Waterloo Barracks and the story of captured German Spy Josef Jakobs who was executed at the Tower of London in 1941. Also I covered a range of stories connected to The White Tower, including the horrific torture of Anne Askew. Link to video here:

Below is the text from the letter from Josef Jakobs to King George VI asking for his execution to be reconsidered. George VI did not allow a reprieve of any kind.
The humble petition by Josef Jakobs, a prisoner under sentence of death.
To His Majesty the King.
May it please Your Majesty,
A most unhappy man makes this appeal for mercy at the hands of Your Majesty. On the 5th of August, 1941, Your Majesty’s Court Martial condemned me to death, convinced that I came to Your Majesty’ country with intent to do her harm by transmitting information to the Nazis.
Your Majesty, in the face of death, I once again give the assurance which I have already given under oath before the Court Martial, I swear by the dearest and most precious thing I possess, by the life of my three children that this never was and never could be the case, that it is just the opposite, that I came to Your Majesty’s country with the sole purpose of fighting on England’s side against the Nazis. I came to Your Majesty’s country with the sole purpose of joining in the fight for personal freedom, for religious freedom for my children, for freeing the German people from the frightful enslavement of the Nazi tyranny and not to die for the Nazi tyrants.
Your Majesty can obtain a clearer idea from the speech of my defending officer, Captain White, of the unfortunate circumstances of my landing, a landing which at the time, however, I considered fortunate. I have nothing to alter in his descriptions, for they are entirely in accordance with the facts.
Should Your Majesty, however, believe that I am not worthy of Your Majesty’s mercy, I beg Your Majesty to postpone the execution until the termination of the war, in order thereby to make it possible for me, at a fresh trial, to prove to the full my innocence by obtaining the attendance of witnesses now living in Germany and the production of documents. In the very nature of my case such evidence, which in fact exists, is by reason of the war not available to me. It is a difficulty which must face every enemy of the Nazis who leaves Germany and comes to this country. But surely England will not, for lack of such evidence, condemn to death a friend and one who will gladly help her.
Your Majesty, as the very facts of my arrival in this country will show Your Majesty, I am no coward, I am not afraid of death. I would accept the verdict of the Court Martial without this appeal for mercy, if I felt myself even in the least guilty of the charge brought against me. But the opposite is the truth and for that reason I beg Your Majesty mercifully to refuse to confirm the sentence passed on me. A wife and three young children join with me in this appeal
I do not want to close this appeal for mercy without assuring Your Majesty once again that Your Majesty would show mercy not to an enemy but to a friend, a true friend of England.
Your Majesty’s most humble servant,
(sgd) Josef Jakobs. - Zábava
I lived most of my life in Germany and would like to pay tribute to the bravery of Josef Jakobs for even attempting a parachute jump into enemy territory alone, as an undercover agent. Likewise to all those fearless English souls who were dropped into Vichy France and elsewhere in Europe and were caught and executed in a similar fashion. Extraordinarily brave people. May they all rest in peace.
Alex I understand your point here. It struck me how poorly prepared the men were and Jakobs had never done a parachute jump before. But it was a risky game for all sides involved 🙏
I also experienced something in 2008 on the stairs outside the White Tower, in the smaller doorway halfway up. Through the door you can see a stone spiral staircase where the bones of two children were found in the 1800's, suspected to be the two princes. I distinctly heard a boy's voice say, "Where's my brother?" My sister was standing two steps up and she heard nothing, but it was as clear as day! It certainly made me take a few backward steps!
I'm getting notices. I think it's the bell that needs to be set to All. My wife and I had the exact experience of someone push past in the Louvre. We were in the antiquities area, looking at a Roman bust of Livia Drusilla and felt someone knock into me but saw no one else; my wife felt it as well. Funny I haven't thought about that in years.
chegeny thank you so much. So you had similar in the Louvre wow thank you so commenting. That actually makes me feel a bit better in a bizarre way! It’s easy to think you’re imaging things especially if you’re just wandering about. It really startled me. How did you and your wife feel afterwards? I was jumpy to say the least!
We were in the Tower on London Marathon weekend a few weeks ago and we were in the White Tower on the Saturday afternoon. My husband said to me - "Did u just brush past me?" I said no...I was a good few feet away from him and there was loads of space behind him and not a lot of people in the room! It has freaked him out ever since so your video was very interesting!👍
Goodness me Lynne thank you so much for this. That’s very interesting. Were you just looking at the exhibits in there when it happened? it’s bizarre. 🤔
@@ghostcasebook1266 yes, just taking it all in...can't remember exact room but it was on the 2nd floor
Having grown up in London and visited the Tower many times I can say it is the scariest place every time I visited. It felt like there were people near you that you couldn't see but sense they were there. The worst place was the bottom of the spiral staircase that led to where the two prince's died. Also I do remember one morning we were all lining up in the playground to enter school and the bell tolling from Pentonville prison as they hanged the prisoner. I was only young because I was in primary school N.1. Very near to the prison, we all somehow knew what the bell ment as we had overheard our grown ups talking about for a few days before it actually happend. Later I had friends who lived in the flats inside the grounds at Pentonville and they had seen a transparent white figure of a women floating up the staircase to their flats in a few occations. This was in 1960's. Thank you so much for your great work. 💕🇦🇺
Liz thank you so much for this and for sharing your memories as a child. Pentonville was definitely a formidable prison in the 1960s and some of the spies from WW2 were hanged there.
I had a look at Pentonville as it’s been in the news over the last few years as being completely unfit for purpose. I read that the last execution there (maybe the one you heard?) was in 1961, Edwin Bush, aged 21, stabbed a shop assistant in an antique shop just off Charing Cross Road, using an antique dagger. Then he and his girlfriend stole a sword and an antique dress which they subsequently sold. The police found his fingerprint on the dagger and a footprint so he was arrested. At the Old Bailey, Bush claimed that the murder was motivated by racial slurs the shop owner used towards him when haggling over the price of the sword, I think.
I wonder who the figure of the woman is? That’s very interesting. Pentonville is a male only prison at the moment but perhaps it housed women in the early days. Many of the prisoner were awaiting transportation to your fine country so perhaps women were part of that 👻🙋♀️🙏
The female ghost might have been a wife or daughter, grieving for a lost man at the prison. I believe t's the emotion that is trapped. Emotion is the strongest thing....above all. Emotion is what makes us remember something, hang onto something and relive it. For instance, in the song Fields of Athenry, a young woman is grieving her man as the prison ship sails; I think it would be HER spirit we'd see, not his. It's a fascinating subject. @@ghostcasebook1266
Hiya Nicola, my sister Leanne, was at the top of the stairs this was 2.30 in the morning in the year 1986 Leanne was around 7 years old, mam appeared at the door Mam said to Leanne "who are you talking to? Leanne said, the old lady at the top of the stairs, The Old lady says she'll knit Dad some socks for work" when Mam appeared, the Ghost disappeared, Mam put Leanne back to bed, the Ghost was wearing a Winceyette night gown, like what Kate Bush wore in the Wuthering Heights video, this is Paul (aka Choppy) in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England
Did you ever go to Hever Castle? I was there in June of 2022. After spending a long time touring the castle I started down the spiral stone staircase. I went down slowly and paused on the steps as I was looking at the walls and taking a photo of the stairs.
You know that feeling of someone being behind you literally breathing down your neck? Well that is what I felt. I turned to apologize for blocking the way to find that I was alone. I felt a cold chill and got goosebumps. It was such a strange feeling. I did not feel like I was alone. Afterwards I went outside to tour the gardens and captured an amazing photo in the Italian garden. There is a small waterfall in a grotto that I was taking photos of. When I got back home to the USA and looked at my photos on my phone. I found that I captured a photo of a rainbow without color in front of that waterfall.
I have to wonder if whatever was on those stairs was still with me.
Sharon thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I am very grateful for your comment on Hever Castle. I can’t reveal too much at this point but Hever is on my work in progress list so perhaps you’ll be interested to see the final outcome in time! what a brilliant story and thank you ever so much for sharing 👻🙋♀️🙏
I am planning to visit Hever Castle in the future and some other locations in that direction for sure. How interesting that you had such an interesting feeling of being followed. That’s creepy but I know exactly what you mean 🙋♀️👻🙏
Hi Nicola , i visited the Tower of London in 2019, my partner & myself are from New Zealand.
When we entered the Chapel, i walked up too the front & to the right in front of the pews. I found myself frozen to the spot, unable to move or speak, tears streaming down my face & totally overcome with dispear & sadness.
I wasnt frightened, just extremely sad.
On leaving the Chapel the Yeoman asked me if i was ok, as he had seen what happened to me. 😢 I told him what had happened & what i had felt.
He smiled & said " yes we all that live & work here have got used to that happening" And then he explained the history of all the people who had been buried under the floors of the Chapel.
Tower of London is so worth visiting.
You put so much work into these videos, Nicola. Keep up the wonderful work. So interesting, and I appreciate the Warders who shared their experiences. I think about what they deal with, living there in the tower. They must be used to all kinds of encounters. One more thing - don't doubt your deepest instincts.
Robin you are so kind and I thank you so much for your wonderful words. They give me such a confidence boost and I listen to your wisdom. I appreciate your generosity and support, always 🙋♀️🙏
Hi Nicola, thank you for including Uncle Dens only ghostly experience on living & working there for 30+ years. My main photo shows him with the ceremony of the keys uniform, with said keys & the lantern. Before he was at the Tower, he was in the Queens Royal Surrey Regiment, where he was colour Sergeant Major to none other than actor Windsor Davies & appeared in Yeoman Warder Blue uniform on Windsors This Is Your Life in 1976. Keep up the Great work on here, very impressed well done x.
Lance it was my pleasure and I am so glad you enjoyed my retelling of the story of your uncle Den. Thank you for your email too and I will reply to you soon. I love that about Windsor Davis. I used to love him back in the day! Your Uncle Den had a very interesting military career and what an amazing relative to have in your family. Brilliant. You must be so proud and thank you so much again 👻🙋♀️
As a veteran of the US Army, I had heard that members of military firing squads are randomly issued either bullets or blanks. None of the soldiers knows which casing they are issued so no one knows who ends up firing the fatal shot(s). Sounds like that may be true for the British military as well.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos (have been subscribed for quite awhile) and really appreciate your meticulous research and attention to the little details. Please keep your wonderful content coming!!
Thank you so much Pilot Gal and my understanding is that the soldiers are unaware if they have blanks, as you’ve described. Thank you for your kind words and there are more videos to come 🙋♀️👻
It has been said that the issue of blanks is a myth, and all members of a firing squad are given live rounds. This goes back to the days when deserters or "cowards" (people incapacitated with shell shock, usually) were shot by their own side. It provided the opportunity for them to hope they hadn't killed their fellow soldiers. As officers frequently had to finish off the individual with a pistol shot to the head, one assumes they aimed at less lethal areas or missed entirely, unable to shoot to kill a comrade.
If in fact this is true it is a very kind thing to do. To protect the minds of the men in the firing squad is a noble and compassionate gesture.
Your description of the chair used in the execution of this spy is excellent. The way you described it really brought to life the rharsh eality of the last moment of thus mans life. Of course we can temper the story with the harsh reality of the hundreds or maybe even thousands of not only soldiers but civilians who died by either finding that their war operation had been leaked and they were mown down by enemy fire or captured and sent to the awful Nazi concentration camps or had their lives taken away by the bombs which destroyed buildings in England.
This is correct. In World War One on the Western Front, there were a lot of executions of 'cowards'. The procedure was generally that they would be shot by members of their own unit; usually twelve soldiers. Between two and four bullets were placed in the rifles, the rest blanks, and the rifles would be shuffled before and sometimes afterwards.
General Haig was called 'Butcher Haig' because he was so keen on it for purposes of 'stiffening up' the troops. 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers were executed over the course of the war and only pardoned in 2006. There is a documentary here on CZcams called 'The Other Side Of WWI: The Men Who Were Shot At Dawn', I recommend it if you would like more information.
When there’s multiple witnesses and a staff confirmation, it’s definitely supernatural. Nice channel you have. Your London Underground video got me subscribed.
Thank you kindly and I am so grateful for your comment. Thank you for subscribing 🙋♀️👻
I used to go out with guards that guarded the Tower of London and he said he saw Anne Boylen twice! 💀👻
Wonderful video, as always. You're such a gifted storyteller, and the level of research and your empathy really sets you apart as a creator. Your story at the White Tower is quite unnerving (and what a rude ghost!). I had a similar experience in a very innocuous fruit & veg shop near Penzance once 😂, and it's hard to describe because it's so inexplicable and bizarre. When I mentioned it to the lady who worked there, feeling rather embarrassed and expecting to be laughed at, she wasn't at all surprised and reeled off all the strange things that have happened there like she was grateful to get it off her chest. To have it somewhat validated makes it more spooky somehow, and you were one of quite a few people who experienced the same thing!
Another ToL story for you: My granddad was in the Scots Guards and was stationed in the Tower as a sentry a few years after WW2. He'd noticed that he hadn't seen another sentry he knew there for a few days, and was told that the man had been taken off duty. Apparently he'd seen a lady in medieval dress leading a candlelit procession one night at the Tower, and it sounds like he'd had a nervous breakdown afterwards (it wasn't said so politely back then), so he was taken off duty and the whole thing was hushed up outside of the regiment. My mum and I tried to research this sighting, and found a mention of an "unauthorised light in the chapel" coming from "a ghostly procession of knights and ladies pacing up and down within. At their head was a woman..." in a book called Haunted England by Christina Hole, referencing an earlier book.
Thank you ever so much greymalkin. This is really interesting. Wow a fruit and veg shop in Penzance; well to be honest I think events happen in all kinds of places, not just castles and oldie buildings. In Cardiff a newly built Ibis is said to be haunted! Having looked through the comments, others have experienced similar events and to be honest I found that reassuring. You can think you’re imagining things but you’re not.
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your granddad. What an interesting story. Your point about events being reported (or not) and attitudes towards mental health at that time when people have experienced something is fascinating. I have some more stories concerning that idea of not reporting events at the Tower for fear of being ridiculed. Might have to do a part 4! Thank you for your comment about research and empathy. Means a great deal to me Greymalkin 👻🙋♀️
The moment my grandmother passed away in our home, the nurse sitting in a chair at night saw the cat, previously dozing, suddenly startled, looking all around 'as if the room was full of people'. The nurse stood up and checked and my grandmother had left this world. A sobering and rather enlightening remembrance.
Wow that’s so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. Cats and dogs are quite receptive to changes so I wonder if the cat sensed something.👻🙋♀️
Apparently, many years after Jakobson’s execution, an old lady approached a Yeoman Warder and asked him to show her ‘where her father had been executed’ The lady was Josef Jakobson’s daughter.
As for your experience on the wooden stairs, and as someone who is studying parapsychology, I’d love to look into that further. Very interesting. Great video and very well narrated and researched. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment Borley Boo! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and all the best with your studies for sure. I did read the account of Jakobs’ daughter asking about where he’d been executed. I might be wrong but the book that published the account might have put a bit of a sensationalist spin on it; it was suggested that the army cut a piece of black fabric into a typical heart shape and pinned it on Jakobs too. I’m not convinced that would be true but who knows 👻🙋♀️🙏
Since I was young (I'm an American expat), I have had so many ghostly encounters, yet they've always been visual and auditory. I haven't felt a spirit physically. Although, I did experience my mother's bed shake violently in the middle of the night. She lived directly behind the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. So many incidences happened, that I've been writing a book about it all but actually don't know enough about how it all works. I've been in England for over 10 years, and have had ghostly experiences in Colchester mainly. Thank you for your wonderful series, I love your listening to your voice and of course all the research you have done.
Not being a smart alec but California is well known gor earthquakes. I’m in Illinois and have lived through three. One was rather nerve wrecking knocking pics of walls, clanging glass ware, etc. all in the night c 1am. Scared the bejezus out of us.
wow spooky! I think you did meet a spirit of some sort , I have been to the tower but not had a ghosty experience but I did feel a bit sad all of a sudden in the armoury (looking at horse armour ) got a bit goose-bumpy :/
I do think the armour is very imposing. You get the feeling of being very little compared to these huge model horses wearing armour. I’m not great with models, waxworks etc at the best of time so model horses are even worse! 👻🙋♀️
Last year I went to a work do at Colwick Hall in Nottinghamshire. My team and I were seated at a table in the hall cafe waiting for lunch food to be brought out and I was having a conversation with one of my colleagues when I suddenly felt something brush past my arm, like air shifting as someone walks past. I turned around thinking it was the lady serving food, here with some plates, but there was nobody there. My colleague noticed me look and stop all puzzled.
I later found out that the hall is said to be haunted by a past lady occupant who walks the corridors and around the rooms. The whole place is quite spooky, with a church ruins in the grounds said to be haunted by a woman in white and a priest and the woods and lake where a man named William Saville murdered his wife and children, who now haunt the area.
Your experience reminded me of mine. It's so uncanny, isn't it? Feeling that there's 'something there.'
Thank you so much for sharing this. Yes indeed it does sound similar to my experience. I’d like to cover some stories in Nottingham and surroundings in the future 🙋♀️👻
Creepy incident on the stairs, and it was felt by not just you! I definitely would have been scared going in there! 😱 Very interesting about the chair thinking about what he was feeling and the firing squad who had to do it, chilling. Thanks 👻
I’m glad you found it interesting Linda. I appreciate this so much ❤
We went to the tower in December 2022,whilst in the chapel royal we asked the yeoman if he had ever seen anything,the only thing he said was he was working like he was that day in the Chapel and it was nearly closing time,he had been talking to a group and as they left he noticed a man and a woman still in seperate areas of the Chapel,he went to main door as he was getting ready to lock up,the man walked past him but the woman did not,he said he went back in and nobody was there and there was no other way possible that she could of got out or walked past him without him seeing her.
Goodness that’s fantastic that the yeoman shared his story. Really interesting. Thank you so much Jonathan for sharing. I really think I might have to do a part 4 because I haven’t covered the stories of The Chapel of St Peter Advincula at all yet, just the chapel of St John the Evangelist in the White Tower. There are some more stories to cover elsewhere in the Tower too. Maybe I’ll cover the story of Carl Lody, the spy I mentioned from WW1. 🤔🙋♀️👻
Hi, how are you? I'm doing well. Awesome live ghosts stories I enjoyed it. I had a ghostly encounter at the white tower. It was the ghost of king Henry the sixth. The man from the 14th century. He smiled at me and vanished. This happened to me back in 1994. I'll never forget that day. Have a great day. 😊 interesting what happened to you.
Michelle, if you haven’t already, maybe begin a channel to talk about the various experiences you’ve had because you seem to really be in touch with locations and their past. Or begin a podcast perhaps? I think there are many people who would love to hear from you. As long as Benjamin the cat makes an appearance too! 👻🙋♀️
@ghostcasebook1266 thanks I'll think about it. But I enjoy your ghosts 👻 stories 😀 I studied English history for twenty years
Once you encountered something, you know it's out there, several things happened to me and family members.
Great videos
Tom, Belgium.
I had an unexplained experience at the Tower of London. Annoyingly I cannot remember the name of the tower I was in. I had walked up steps into the entrance and then turned right, walking along a wall with windows towards a short flight of very wide wooden steps that went up to another level, only 8 or 10 steps. I took a couple of steps up and was suddenly hit with…and this is the only way I can describe it…a wall of absolute dread. A feeling so strong it stopped me in my tracks and I could not go further. It was as though physically I could not go further. I went back down the couple of steps and just went somewhere else, stunned by this strange experience.
Val thank you so much. That’s so interesting. Reminds me a bit of the dungeon and Warwick castle. Very easy to feel completely overwhelmed for no logical reason. I wonder where abouts in the Tower you were. Thank you so much 👻🙋♀️
We lived in the Tower for 20 years. I never in all that time saw anything that could be described as a paranormal experience
You all got well and good gobsmacked. I've had ghostly encounters here in my hometown. A person stepped in front of my car as if they were walking the railroad tracks. I hit the brakes so fast that I stalled the car. I looked to my passenger and asked if she saw a person. She said she did. There was nobody there in the headlights. And I have a ghost cat in my house.
I love your channel! Ghosts and ghosts! In Germany for work and miss an English voice Thank you! Ps no disrespect to my German friends but I do miss London and crumpets! 😊
Maybe someone has mentioned this already, concerning that movement or shove you experienced on the stairs. That place is full of hundreds of years of energies. Energies of people who lived there, worked there, etc, the coming's and going's....and I think maybe at that time of the day, that energy is plowing it's way up the stairs, determined to carry out it's errand. That was a great story! Not many people get to experience the paranormal as you have! Great videos, love your channel!
I'd like to confirm that I too have experience the strange activity at the doors to the white tower. It was back in 2021 when i was visiting London. It was myself and my mother and we were stood two stairs from the door and the outside platform. We had just seen the crown jewellery and decided to go in the white tower. We were discussing Anne boleyn, Henry the 8th second wife, it was then when I felt a bump from behind me. I'd been looking in the direction of Thame and Tower Bridge, when I felt myself be bumped from behind, I turned to see what was happening but nothing had changed. My mother, who noticed me quickly turn asked if I was all right. I joking said that a ghost had bumped. We had a good laugh about it. I haven't told her the truth, she doesn't believe in ghost so she wouldn't believe me anyway. The experience sends shivers down my spine to this day. To think something was there with us.
Hello again, I know this is un expected but I'm actually here to update this story. Recently during the winter of 2023, my friends and I were in London, specifically the tower. I am going to say this first, I never told them the story of what happened in 2021. We decided to split into two groups, 4 of us went to the white tower, whilst a small group, consisting of me and 2 others went to see the crown jewellery. It was about 12:30 when the two groups reunited outside the small cafe on the sight. My, then friend and now boyfriend, Luke was clearly shaken, as was the rest of the group. They explained to me that whilst they were waiting to enter something had rushed past them, rather forcefully. It had been forcefully enough to knock Luke over. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, just a scratched knee. Supposedly they asked the person at the door who had rushed past then. The lady at the door simply responded "I don't know." It's a event that still makes Luke shiver.
Its nice that your experience was validated by the reactions of the people around you.
YT will unsub people from time to time. They do it to lots of channels. Don’t sweat it too much, your channel is brilliant!
Thank you so much Dave, appreciate your kind words 👻🙋♀️
Your voice is so amazingly beautiful and relaxing. I could listen to you read the dictionary😂 You should consider doing videos where you read books. Your voice is PERFECT for any Jane Austen book or any book, for that matter. ❤
Oh my word reading the dictionary ha ha! I think I’d fall asleep 😄 Thank you for you kind words though, I appreciate this Miss Cabic 👻🙋♀️
Even more spooky and fascinating that Part1&2, excellent insights and very credible experiences 😲😲 Thank you for sharing these extraordinary happenings 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊 Some ghosts….are pushy….or….they don’t see the living 🤔 There are mobile phone Apps that have radar software that detect micro changes in microwaves which I use when visiting old buildings. Sometimes they show presences….a red circle on my App is an intense reflection. Only in The Tower…in the Armory…my…App…showed multiple red circles…all…around me! I cut the visit short…as I felt unwell….my last visit to The Tower…for sure.
Thank you so much, as ever my friend! Goodness me, Redcoat, my word with an app like that, I'd be a nervous wreck! It sounds brilliant though. Have you done any videos in locations with your app? I'm fascinated! 👻🙋♀️🙏
To Redcoat’s Return: Wow, that’s scary! I never heard of the app you mentioned before; I don’t think I would be brave enough to use it and I have seen a few things, let me tell you! Sounds pretty interesting though👻
Your work is so high quality and far beyond the usual melodramatic recounting of ghosts and haunting. I've learnt a great deal of history on this channel, including detailed background for the very credible experiences of the people who live and work in these places. I truly applaud the calibre of what you do and wish there were more discussions of the "paranormal" like yours that render these occurences an interesting part of the human world that has yet to be fully understood.
Wow, thank you! That’s a very kind comment! I am glad you enjoy the videos and I hope you’ll stay tuned for more content in the future 👻🙋♀️
Nichola ypu knocked it out of the park with this one..thank you so much.❤❤❤❤
Jaws, i don't know what to say. Thank you so much. This was a very different video for me so I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate this, sincerely.
@@ghostcasebook1266 you and me need to SERIOUSLY form thee anglo irish ghost hunters team...all my love Nichola,Kind regards ,Damien
Can I be the one at the back hiding behind someone? 😬
@@ghostcasebook1266 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great video. One of my favorite places, my others are Hampton Court and Hever Castle.
Talking about ghosts, I'm the silly sod that goes chasing I after them. Where I used to work in HMS Nelson, portsmouth, the junior ranks block that had the naffi I worked in, above that was their dining hall and above that a functions room. And off that functions room, was a small side room and apparently there's a ghost thats always seen in there, I asked one of the big civvies bosses can I go up there. He said yes, so I sat in that room for a little while. Nothing. But I did see a ghost in a nursing home I worked in many years ago. That one I didn't go out of my way to look for. Still see him clearly over 20 years later.
Melody thank you so much. I love this. So do you belong to group or do you investigate on your own. A few people use apps don’t they from what I’ve read from viewers’ comments. I adore Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and If I’m not reading books on ghosts and history, I’m reading books on shipwrecks in particular. I love them! HMS Nelson is very eerie. I’d love to know more about your ghost hunting! Warrior is fab but the Mary Rose is utterly captivating! 👻🙋♀️
Nicola, you might want to try to journal this experience. Write down any thoughts that come to you about this, no matter how weird or illogical. And then just leave it.Someday you may have an answer.
I had an experience of seeing a "lightening bolt" image in broad day light, by the Traitors gate. It was brief but my husband saw it too. I took a photos in quick succession and they came out all different colours. Very odd
Please do a video on Mermaid Inn, Rye - you'll enjoy the experience 😉
Oh yes, I love the Mermaid Inn!
Thanks Zoe. That’s interesting because whilst I talked about Traitors’ gate in my first video on the Tower, I’ve since found out some other odd happenings there. Dare I do a Tower of London part 4? 🤔👻
I haven’t been to the Mermaid Inn but I have heard of it 👻🙋♀️
Oh, I have heard about the Mermaid Inn!
Thoroughly enjoyed your personal experience! I appreciate your ability to share these ghostly encounters and remain respectful.
Thank you so much Jay, I appreciate this 🙋♀️🙏
Regarding the 'incident' on the stairs: you know it happened because others experienced it too. But you have to wonder, why would anyone be in such a hurry to get into the Tower? Maybe if it was the opposite, I can understand. Anyway, very eerie, indeed. As for the chair; I get it. It's an everyday object found in most homes, but in this case, used for a darker purpose. I can certainly understand the chilling feeling of seeing it in person and letting your imagination take you to the last day of Jacob's.
Thank you so much Diane! Yes the juxtaposition of the ordinary chair and the end of a life is part of it. Thank you so much as ever 👻🙋♀️
Sadly, you are not the only channel having subscribers unsubscribed. The games of youtube are perplexing.
I've been a 'victim' of being unsubscribed too, although not regarding this channel. You have to wonder, what's the point?
@@dianetheisen8664 You know, maybe it’s just that certain systems are flawed. Like most gps systems.
Hi great video- I loved your encounter. Very interesting. I too have had unsubscribers - I believe they are bots. I hardly get any comments too. So I am taking a break (again) and doing my history research on my local area. I love your channel please keep going. 😊
You said it! One time I tried to upload a video of a tree blowing in the wind. No dialogue or music. They told me it was offensive and that they wouldn't upload it. So I started an offensive tree video series!:)😂
@@aariley2 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 CZcams at its most nonsensical!
Lovely video as always. Glad you shared your story. And to try to get an answer for what happened that day at the Tower, you could always try to find a psychic at the famous Arthur Findlay College in, I think, Stanstead, England. I know a few people who have gotten to attend a class there and wish I was a lot younger and could come back to England and visit there. This is a brilliant channel👻🙋♀️🇺🇸
I tell all my family about your videos! Some of them roll their eyes at my belief in there being something after this life - but I don’t challenge them on their skepticism. Unless you personally have experienced something paranormal I can understand how it can be difficult for some to “believe”. I’ve had 2 experiences that convinced me there’s is something unexplainable out there. First one was at Hampton Court, I was there on a school trip. I was in Year 6 and I was so excited because I have always loved history! We were being taken around by the guide and we stopped at the Haunted Gallery. Now I don’t know if it was due to our age but the Guide never called it the “Haunted Gallery”. Just “The Gallery”. He was talking about the portraits there and I suddenly felt very unwell. I had the most oppressive headache, I felt really nauseous and then it all went black. I woke up with my head in my teachers lap - I had hit the deck! The guide was trying to give me chocolate and telling me I must have low blood sugar. As soon as we left that area I was fine! It wasn’t until I was a little older I had read about Catherine Howard breaking free of her guards and running down the gallery to The Chapel in a bid to beg Henry VIIII for her life and how she has been seen by many in the subsequent years running and screaming down the Gallery. I do remember my teacher saying quietly to my Mum that the guide said that fainting in that part of Hampton Court was a frequent reaction from many visitors - but I never knew why. My second experience was in a seaside town in Kent called Broadstairs. It was at The Charles Dickens Museum House there but this comment is already long enough!
I just love to hear of other peoples experiences, I find them strangely comforting and also validating!
Your story about The Tower is so incredibly interesting. It’s one of my favourite places to visit and will keep in mind your story the next time I visit! Your videos are a joy and I will continue to spread the word of your amazing channel! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amber:You share a name with one of my kitties.As someone who has also experienced strange things,I would love to hear your other encounter.Poor Kat Howard.I hope the occurance is residue or stone tapes.Hate to think it could be anything else.RIP to all of those who have suffered in the Tower.
On my goodness this is exactly the same experience I had in 1972! My friend and I were visiting celebrating the end of our o'levels. It was late spring and the weather was chilly but sunny. We entered the long gallery where there was an art exhibition in so there were paintings hanging on a sort of v shaped display wall all the way down the gallery. We were the only ones in there except for an attendant sitting at the far end. As we started down the gallery I became aware of something walking very close behind us. But there was no-one there. We got about half way along and I started to feel faint and very frightened. My friend took one look at me and hurried me out of the building to the cafe. She said I was as white as a sheet. She had not felt anything. We had a coffee and I started to feel better although still shaking. As we say there a gentleman came up to ask if I was ok. It turned out that he was the man sitting at the end of the gallery and he was on his lunch break. He said he had seen me keeping looking behind me and then my friend helping me leave and hoped I was ok. I told him what I had experienced he said I had experienced the ghost. We didn't have a guide book and really didn't know we were in the 'haunted gallery's we were just looking at the paintings. I never want to experience that again but was really pleased to hear someone else had had a similar experience in the same place. I have had a couple of experiences since then but nothing quite so disturbing.
Another great video, weirdly i was in The Tower of London just last week as i live in nearby CG and have an unlimited pass for The Tower, Hampton Court etc. I really like reading some of the comments (sone more than others), specifically with regards to those with first hand experience... " said The Tower was the scariest place on earth! " .... Anyway it got me thinking, a suggestion for you to consider?
The easily missed pavement circle denoting where The Tyburn Tree once stood for the best part of 600 years and countless executions took place. I have never heard anyone mention a ghostly experience there.
Yes i can understand why not as it is quite urban and grim, easily missed but because of that aspect i wonder if any have had any strange experiences there ?? Maybe you could think about a video about Tyburn and see if any comments are posted from viewers saying anything of interest ? .... On the subject of The Tower, yes it defo has an atmosphere there, in particular The White Tower.
The only place i have experienced such an abundance of the feeling of 'hundreds of invisible eyes upon you' as you do there, is Hampton Court ! Well doe on another great video !
James, I thank you so much for your comment and support. Hampton Court is coming but not just yet 🙂I can’t reveal too much on that. Your suggestion about the Tyburn tree is very interesting. I’m not sure how ghostly it might be; I’d need to look into this, but with regards to stories behind executions at the Tyburn tree, I think there are many, many stories, many quite chilling! Thank you so much for your comment and stay tuned 🙋♀️🙏👻
@@ghostcasebook1266 Looking forward to the Hampton Court video. I actually had a bona fide supernatural experience at Hampton Court approx six months ago. I know i would have dismissed it (to myself )as my imagination playing tricks on myself if it were not for the fact that two other people experienced it along with me, the other two being H C staff members and i even managed to take footage on my mobile. One of the staff members in particular was quite visibly shaken by the experience ... Fascinated and almost in disbelief at what i had experienced, i then spent the days after my visit doing further research on what i had experienced during my visit and discovered many many others talking of very similar experiences that myself and the others had heard whilst there.
Genuinely quite shocking, as you tend to only read of these things, read of it happening to others and not experience it first hand!
Anyway Hampton Court is defo something else .... the way i would describe it to anyone who has never visited is, as soon as you arrive, it feels as though there are a hundred sets of invisible eyes upon you. scrutinising your every move as you walk throughout Hampton Court ....
p.s one last thing that i would like to say Nicola.... i have read many comments talking about how soothing they find your voice to be as a narrator, which it defo is, however, i would also like to add that in general i feel that a voice can tell something about the person speaking. Conveys their personality in some way. With your narration, i feel when people say your voice is soothing, i think they are picking up on you being the gentle soul that you are -)
James thank you so much for this, I appreciate your kind words. Perhaps you might email me regarding Hampton Court because it is definitely a place where odd things seem to happen. The email is gcasebook@gmail.com but only if you want to. No pressure 👻🙏
Amazing...Simply amazing... The history you bring to the world thru CZcams. I personally suspect "ghosts" are everywhere. Many times when the hair on the back of your neck stands upright, Something is going on...We're just not paying close attention. Thank you much! I look forward to your Friday history videos!!
Thank you so much Jon. wow I’m really moved by your kind words! 😊 Stay tuned for more ghostly and historic tales my friend 👻🙋♀️🙏
You have one of the best "haunted" shows out there! Always well done and thought provoking.
Please keep up the great work!!
Wow, thank you! I hope you’ll have a peep at some of the other videos and keep subscribed for more content coming your way 🙏👻🙋♀️
Amazing video! Perhaps it was one of the young princes who rushed past you on the stairs. As for the chair and the story about Josef, that was really interesting! I can see why you are fascinated by the chair! To see something so ordinary and know what happened is profound!
Thank you so much ryouko and I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes, that chair…🤔👻
Awesome!! I've been looking forward to this since the other day! 😊
Please could you do a video on Battle Abbey's ghosts if there are any there. Loved this one on Tower of London. Great job! ❤
Hello and thank you so much. Battle Abbey in East Sussex will probably appear in a future video 👻🙋♀️
most enjoyable and absorbing work. love it.
Thank you so much! 👻🙋♀️
Hi. Just thought I would share a couple of experiences that happened to me, and.. ome of which continues to happen to me. Both of which are quite similar to your experience at the Tower... One afternoon, I was in my apartment.. flat.. where I lived only with my cat. I was playing my piano, lost in my music, and I felt two distinct tugs.. ome after the other, on the back of my shirt, between my shoulder blades. Well, I quickly turned around and said, Hey Angus, stop it... I thought it was my cat, however, I looked across the room, and Angus was on my window ledge in the living room. Nowhere close to me. To this day I still struggle to think about what it actually was. Now, another occurrence that happens to me quite often, is a little weirder.. and i would love to know if this happens to others.. Quite often when i lay down in bed and close my eyes, as soon as i get into bed for the first time, i will feel like someone has just layed down beside me. I can feel the bed as if a weighted person, or something, has layed down also and made the matress wieghed down on the opposite side. I can actually feel the matress move. Its a very strange feeling, and it really freaks me out becuaee it happens quite regularly. Its just strange.
Thank you so much for these stories. What a strange, unsettling incident on the stairs. I did not know about Jakobs before you told these stories. In spite of the fact that he was the enemy, he seems to have been a brave and convicted man. How terrible war is.
Hello Freed and thank you. Yes it was an odd event and it hasn’t happened to me since! I agree, war is terrible and if you’ve found the story of Jakobs and it’s new to you, I hope you found it interesting. I knew a bit about him but I went quite a bit further into his story for this video 🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 I found it fascinating and tragic. I also find things like that chair, that link us to moments in the past so compelling. It is as if we can feel the emotions they witnessed, an inanimate link to a human who once lived and breathed as we do.
One day I'll get to go 😕 I wish we had places like this in the U.S.
Hi Kimberly! 🙋♀️ I love the U.S and whilst it’s not the same, you have amazing history and buildings but in a different way to us here. The same applies in Australia, the history is different but still unique. You’ll have to come over one day and just absorb the history and stories. You might find you’d be here for a very long time!
@@ghostcasebook1266 When I get there I won't want to come back!! 🤣 thank you for your reply. I absolutely adore your work!! Keep it up sister!!!!
When I visited the white tower when walking up the stairs I was forcefully pushed and almost fell backwards down the steps. Luckily my son was behind me and managed to stop me falling. Gave me quite a scare.
Goodness me that sounds serious! Glad you were ok. What is it about the stairs there? 🤔👻🙋♀️
Amazing telling of Jakob's story and much research done for this, great job.
Your own experience while visiting the White Tower is intriguing, as I understand paranormal phenomenon though I'm no expert, this wouldn't be a recording on the atmosphere, as psychics call it 'residual' energy as I don't think there's physical contact with that so your experience does suggest there was an entity there that barged past you. Wow!
Anyway, thanks for this indepth episode and keep em coming.😀👏
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to comment. Lots more to come! 👻🙋♀️
Interesting about the monks. Most likely they were performing evening vespers or evening prayers.😃👍👍♥️
Thank you MGM 👻🙋♀️
I honestly love your videos they help me to relax every evening after a stressful day
Adam, this means a lot. Probably more than you know. I've always wanted this channel to be calming as opposed to jumpy. It sounds silly but
I want people to feel secure, as in the videos are a bit like taking off a tight pair of shoes at the end of a day. No nasty surprises right?
The .303 Lee Enfield was a very powerful weapon, anyone in the case mate would have heard without a doubt, hopefully his death was instantaneous. Great story about your encounter!🙏🏻
Alex, thank you. I must ask you a question. Regarding the .303 rifle (I believe this refers to the ammunition?) Do you say 'A point 303 Lee Enfield rifle'' or how would you express this in words regarding the .303? Please help me and thank you 🙏🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 in Army parlance it would just be the “303” or “Lee Enfield” We called it the “303” when I was in cadets, a long time ago! The kick from the recoil was memorable?! One thing that interests me, though is that most spies caught by the authorities were soon “turned” and made to work for them, what was this guys reasons I wonder?
I used to fire them we always called it the SMLE .303 Short Magazine Lee-Enfield. It gave a hefty kick when firing and in the butts, the noise and richochets were 'interesting'. At point blank range that was a sure killer. @@ghostcasebook1266
A note: I found the dead man's hole on my last visit to London and I don't think the sign is there anymore unfortunately. Maybe I was just distracted telling my girlfriend about the mortuary and the tiles lol.
I didn't have anything as distinct as your experience but many years ago when I was in the...I believe St Thomas tower? The one that they have set up as a king's bedchamber. It was me, my mom, and my three siblings in the fairly large room. No one else. And there was suddenly the sensation like a huge group of people had just passed through. The air currents, the way the floor feels when a lot of other people walked by, all of it. No *sounds*, but other sensations. It's hard to describe, but honestly I felt like a group of tourists had just tramped past us. My siblings were kids and didn't say anything but they all scooted over to the walls like they were expecting a group to come through. Very strange. The tower is an incredible place, and I'd give anything to be allowed to stay overnight!
I just subscribed a couple days ago, and for some reason the Tower ghost stories didn't show up in my subscribed feed, but this video did. I don't know why, I suspect CZcams is doing some algorithm nonsense...
Thank you so much for this. The sign could be gone but what a sign it was. I read that they pull a dead body from the Thames once a week. Mind you the Thames is pretty big. Thank you for your comment about your experience at the Tower. It has some resonance with what happened to me. That feeling of actual people passing you, not just the wind or your imagination. Was it the King’s bedchamber pictured in this link, in which case it is St Thomas’s Tower:

Great video, great story. I worked in an Australian I.C.U. The hospital was very old and very haunted. I worked there for years. I’m not teasing you about this - it’s just that there’s to many incidents to relate - but I mention this as I’m sure that lots of people have had experiences ( like a shove, or a touch ) that they have explained away. More people have had things like this happen to them, than will admit to it. Love your channel, thank you. Blessings,❤.
Thank you so much Iain, that’s really interesting. I always find it interesting when people encounter odd things at work. You’re just going about your day, just as you mentioned at the I.C.U and then from nowhere something odd happens. It really startled me, the incident on the steps, but I agree, too many incidents to just be a coincidence perhaps 🤔🙂👻
What hospital was that?
Truly fascinating account of your brush with the paranormal at the tower.!! The chair? Yes, I can understand your sense of 'intrigue' with the chair. On the one hand, there's the gruesome tale of a man's execution and then the (amusing) tale of your gran - who owned that style of chair - giving you money to run along to the 'bookies', to place a 'bet' for her. It really made me smile!! So, a mixture of feelings whenever you glance at that chair, imo! Top video as always. I'm receiving notifications btw!!
Thank you so much Phoenix! Yes the chair is special. I’m glad the story about my gran made you smile. The bookies in those days, in my village, was a chap in a kiosk behind a pub. It wasn’t like the large betting shops of today with sky sports etc. He basically was independent, smoked a pipe and was surrounded by ledgers and newspapers. He knew we were her grandkids and we’d pass the bookies on our way to school, so we were always in and out of there. It was entirely illegal as we were kids, but nobody cared to be honest! 👻🙋♀️
@@ghostcasebook1266 What VERY special, fond memories!!! Thank you for sharing the additional detail of your childhood.
Well done; so interesting and enjoyable; always a must watch for me.
Thank you
Neil
Thank you so much Neil 🙏🙋♀️🙂
Some powerful thoughts here. I agree about the chair, so full of his spirit. Also the mystery of his movements at the end is interesting. Plenty to think about. 🤔
Hello from Washington State USA. First off, I wanted to say what an incredible job you do on your videos. As far as disappearing subscribers go, I have found myself unsubscribed from channels through no actions of my own. This leads me to believe its either a glitch or intentional on CZcams's part.
In reference to the trained canine who wouldn't go into the building, I have a fully trained diabetic alert dog. On 3 separate occasions in my house, he behaved strangely in my kitchen. Each time he started to walk in, only to react to something in the same spot , and either back out again, whining in disress. A couple times, he would retreat into the living room and begin barking towards the kitchen, clearly frightened.
I'm a new subscriber and love your content.
Thank you and I appreciate your comment. Yes, not sure why some viewers are being unsubscribed. Very interesting about your service dog. Sounds like he might be sensing something there 👻🙋♀️
Was looking forward to this. Thank you for your story.
You are very welcome 👻🙋♀️
It must’ve been a very creepy moment , when you was there, yes I’m getting notifications, thankyou for this , love the history bless you
Your ghostly experience sounds rather unnerving and quite amazing how this entity brushed past you and the others, one thing to see them but to be nudged conjures up a different feeling of fear I should think. Great interesting video and my grandparents had chairs like that one but not so polished! Received the notification for this one, no problem like the last one but will always check for new ones.
Thank you so much Celeste, I appreciate this. It was bizarre and I was so jumpy inside the Tower. I felt I was being watched and thought any minute now I’m going to be pushed into the armours etc. I couldn’t stay!
The monks in a circle and walking? Premium goosebumps, up my arms and down my back...better than a roller coaster ride! Thank you!
On a side note Firing Squad has been reinstated as a death penalty option in Idaho, USA just in time for the trial of Brian Kohberger, the alleged murder of 4 students in Moscow (pronounce Mos-koh not COW) Idaho.
Was exactly as Uncle Den told me the last time I saw him, once he had retired 😊
I didn’t know that about the death penalty in Idaho. Goodness me. I’m so pleased you enjoyed Lance’s story; I am grateful that he shared it. 🙋♀️
@@LanceHarding I enjoy goosebumps once in awhile and those were stellar! Creeped out but safe at home, perfect! Goosebumps is such a strange sensation and when you are safe quite enjoyable. Thank you!
Is that right? Wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you so much OsakaRose.
If I had a unseen person bump into me I don't know if I would be brave enough to have stayed for the tour. A job in that building would definitely be beyond me. To many unjustifiably killings like Anne Boleyn. She had done nothing wrong other than not producing a male. The king was asshole sleeping around with another woman while accusing his loving wife of all those false charges. Now the proven charges against the German spy deserved to die but to see the chair which held him would be difficult to see. You are brave to go back several times to the spooky ghost filled tower. A lot of sadness in that building.
I had a most terrifying ordeal in Berry Pomeroy Castle in Devon. I wont say what happened to me incase any one wants to try themselves
Gosh, Nicola - wow! Your experience was very real ... I've heard/read so many stories like this - the disembodied physically making contact. Although I have seen a few ghosts - full-bodied apparitions and nebulous 'smoke' shapes forming above the bookshelf - I have never been touched. On the subscription score, I checked and I am a subscriber still. Also, I often search on your channel just to double-check that I have not missed a new video. As always, many thanks for your amazing presentations! p.s. maybe someday we can meet in London - Ghost Casebook subscriber London Meet-Up to tour some of the active sites
Thank you so much Julie! I am so grateful for your thoughts and experiences. I am glad you have subscribed or remained subscribed 🙋♀️👻 I’m sure a meet up would be fun but we’d be going around London for months as there are so many places ha ha! 🙏🙂
Thank you for the link you gave me to part 2 off this series, in reply to the comment I left you when i watched part one of the tower ghosts. I watched part 2 thoroughly captivated, and I went on to watch part 3, and your personal video of your own experiences at the Tower. Once again, these latest vdeoa i watched were wonderful... its just everything you do and how you do it. You have a calming, yet intriguing voice that suits your videos perfectly. You come across as being very Intelligent, knowledgeable on the subject, and , your voice is very soothing and friendly. I love all the videos ive watched so far, and im just trying to catch up with as many as I can, and as quiclky as I can. Im looking forward to watching more tomorrow evening. Its 10:20pm here, and now what I look forward to every day, is coming home from work, and watching two or three of your videos. Thank you. Cheers from Ontario, Canada
Hello James and thank you so much for your kind words. I am so pleased that you are enjoying the videos and stay tuned for more videos in the future. I’m really pleased you enjoy the channel and thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I only started posting videos in the autumn and I very nearly didn’t start the channel at all because I was so nervous, so your words really mean a great deal to me. Greeting to you in Canada. 👻🙋♀️🙏
@@ghostcasebook1266 thank you for always replying. I indeed enjoy your videos very much, and I'm looking forward to a couple more this evening. I'm very glad you conquered your nervousness and decided to post videos, and I can't wait for new ones. Love your Channel
It is sad and eerie about Jakob but think of all the lives he would have taken if they hadn't taken his. Obviously they thought again about him becoming a double agent.
I agree and I don’t have sympathy. I just want to get to the bottom of what happened and wade through the various version of events to try and establish the narrative really. But that chair still moves me. 🙏👻
This was so interesting! Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much Joan and I appreciate your continued support as ever 👻🙋♀️🙏
Went to the tower last week after the king’s coronation. Surely is a spooky place.
Love your passion when you tell your personal experiences. You are such a great storyteller that I feel I am right there with you. Another great video Nicola! 👻💀😎
Oh goodness thank you so much. I was so nervous to do this video as it’s rather different from my usual ones but I’m so pleased people enjoy the stories. It’s quite difficult to tell stories first hand but If you were able to imagine along with the description, that makes me happy! 🙂
Always follow your gut, as I say. These videos are superb, so well.done and
a lot of work. Having seen ghosts and experiencing the paranormal myself,
I do believe!!
Very interesting, I love stories of the paranormal, keep them coming, I’m from Australia 🇦🇺.
Hi Ros and thank you so much. I love Australia. I was there in 2019 and I would like to go back but the flights are ridiculous at the moment! 👻🙏
I know while visiting the tower of London, I had one experience where my camera stopped working in one place on the wall, though on either side of that spot my camera worked, I tried it many times going backwards and forwards to the same spots but finding it happen each time.
I was looking for good stories about the Tower of London, and this hit the spot. I will be visiting London in November 2024, and I have heard the familiar dramatized stories before, but this was something new and unique. It is personal and intimate for the narrator, which adds a new layer to the depths of experiences at the Tower of London. It's such an old building, nearly a thousand years old, but I always remember all the stories from the millennia of people who lived, died, imprisoned, worked, or just visited have witnessed. Thank you for this, and I look forward to seeing London soon.
Thank you kindly and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. There are three more videos on the Tower that I made and I’ll link them here in case you’d like to see them. You will have an amazing time there, I have no doubt! 🙏👻🙋♀️

I can imagine your discomfort with that Windsor chair....
Its something from your childhood...something you associate with innocence and happiness.
In this regard...it is associated with death....
I had a teacher in college (long ago) who said something that always stuck with me. "Be THE expert in something. It doesn't matter what it is-- big or small. But be the expert in it." It seems to me that the story of Jakobs has really struck you beyond simple curiosity. Keep researching it. Become the expert.
Jeff with all sincerity I don’t know what to say. Thank you and I am moved to the core by your wonderful comment. Truly. I absolutely hear the words of your teacher and I’m so honoured that you feel those words are applicable to me. I’m a really inquisitive person and I love history, weird stories, bizarre cases and whatever it is, I get completely absorbed into it. I often begin researching a video and I’m off on a trail again, but if this video has given you an insight into something new, I’m absolutely thrilled. I really enjoy making these videos and I want them to be interesting and whilst this video isn’t typical of my normal videos, I hope it was engaging. I’m an amateur enthusiast but I want to share my passion for the unknown, history, architecture, culture etc in my own way, so thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Nice to hear about your unnerving experience. I totally agree with you about the chair. Chilling indeed
Thank you so much Walkingdad69. Yes, that chair. Still gets me 🤔🙏🙋♀️
As far as the notification button is concerned, nothing nefarious is going on. It just needs to be refreshed every so often. Turn off the bell, then turn it back on. 😁🥳👍🏻
Thank you Nicola for another fascinating episode from the Tower. Your experience on the stairs was uncanny and it seems unsettling, not just for you but others around you. Keep these wonderful stories coming.
❤️❤️❤️ from 🇦🇺
And I dont recieve notifications anymore.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much Annette. Not sure what’s going on with the notifications but hopefully you might receive future ones. There will be a video on Friday 23rd June just in case you don’t get a notification 👻🙋♀️
Fascinating stuff! The fact that so many people around you is very validating.
'Malleable for double-cross work' means that MI5 considered turning Jakobs against his own side and feeding false information to them. I'm surprised they didn't do that.
Yes it was a very odd event and I still remember it to this day. The man was especially freaked out and I know he tried to keep it together but he went white! Yes, I understand more about double cross these days. Thank you ever so much for your kind words 🙋♀️👻🙏
So delighted to find your channel. You're such a lovely down to earth person ❤
Thank you so much!! 👻🙋♀️🙏
Hi! I appreciate the way you put your stories❤As to this one - I had a similar encounter at my working place, a state gymnasium in Latvia one evening. I was busy doing paperwork and had to make some copies,so I needed to unlock the door of our IT lab which was the closest to my office with a copy machine. However, the cleaner lady couldn't open it for me as the alarm box, the buttons din't work. She tried several times and every time the code display always showed LOCKED. I have to mention that this cleaner had worked at this school for more than 15 years and it had never happened to her, that a code didn't work. Then I said: Ok, then I'll do it tomorrow and went back to my office upstairs. It was approx.9 p.m. and on the final step before the platform to enter my office something cold and solid, well I had the feeling, as if a real person had gone through my left side. I din't see anything but the feeling was as if this something didn't reach the ground and was a bit bigger than me/over my head. For a glimpse of a second I thougt a student rushed into me as I was used to be among hundreds of students every day and did my job with real passion,but then I realized how late it is and all the school children had gone home long ago. There were big windows in front of me but they were closed so it couldn't have been a wind blow,and it didn't feel like air at all, rather something solid/thick. Some thick cold energy, I an x-ray or something like that. I have to mention, that I didn't go home that night, I called a collegue and asked if I could stay with her, I was stuttering for the first time in my life and calmed down a bit only in her flat with a cup of tea. It was also strange that the cat of my collegue kept brushing his head and showed very big interest in my left side, my arm and shoulder, even jumped on the table to do so. This cat usually is quite shy and unfriendly with strangers and it hadn't seen me before. The strange feeling in the left lide of my body remained till the middle of the next day and then gradually wanished. I have worked in the premises of this school for 20 years and had never had a similar encounter, however there are still rumors of spirits walking around from the time when this building was used as a hospital during World War II.
I’m currently back on Guard at the Tower. I will let you know if we experience any unusual occurrences!..
Disgruntled that's great! Thank you for sharing!
So far thankfully had no problems my end getting notifications I getting your amazing videos. Many thanks for uploading them, as they are a mixture of interesting and facinating.
You’re welcome Mandy, thank you so much 😊
I did hear of a female spirit seen often on the spiral stairs in the White Tower. Guards claim to have seen her many times. Also there are stories about the ancient chapel in there being haunted- maybe that is why monks were experienced?
You might be right about the monks. I have covered the chapel in the White Tower in my Tower of London part 3 as it seems pretty active!

I had a similar experience when I was visiting a supposedly haunted house in Massachusetts, USA. The group was in the basement, listening to the guide speaking, and I was at the back of the group with no one standing next to me. Suddenly I felt a nudge against my backpack, as though someone had just pushed past me, but when I looked about I still had no one standing near me, and no one in front of me had moved. It was a fairly small group, so everyone was in clear sight, so I would have seen anyone in the group if they had moved. 🤔🤷🏼♀️
What a fascinating experience you had at the White Tower. If what you felt was paranormal and devoid of plausible explanation, perhaps you witnessed a residual haunting event. A past moment in time playing out over and over again as if on loop, accounting for the hostess stating that it happens all the time. If so, it may occur only now and then, or as frequently as every day. In either regard, how exciting and unnerving it must have been to be there when it did. Have you ever considered revisiting the tower in the same month, on the same date, (if you know it,) to see if it might happen again? I say, give it a go. I enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing them.
and all the people who had this experience but didnt notice because it was a crowded day.....👻😁

In the late 90s a friend and myself were sat on the patio of the dove pub in Hammersmith facing the Thames enjoying a drink, it was a cold day from memory and we were enjoying the wonderful view across the river we suddenly heard a ghostly voice singing Rule Britania in a very dramatic tone from inside the pub ( we were sitting on the upstairs balcony patio) we laughed it off and finished are pints and left shortly after it was only years later I found out Rule Britainia had actually been composed in the dove I often wonder was it the spirit of the composer serenading us that day.
Hello Nicola. We've been following your stories for a few weeks now and, quite honestly I could listen to you for hours. So very interesting. You are a wonderful story teller and yes, we are fully subscribed to your channel. CZcams hasn't messed around with yours as yet, but I've heard of comments that have gone missing and I've had comments delivered to me, that are clearly intended for someone else. Maybe CZcams has a ghost as well!
Thank you so much guys, that’s so kind. Does YT have a ghost? more like a gremlin maybe! 👻🙏
