Haunted London, Ghostly happening’s in London to get you in the mood for Halloween! We started the other day with the most haunted hotel in London that proved to be very popular. Now our next instalment, Part one haunted underground and railways.
Aldwych Station
The Station built on the site of the Old Royal Strand Theatre. Aldwych station opened as the Strand station on 30th of November 1907, later renamed due to the confusion of the same name used for Charing Cross station of that day. You can see from the picture that the entrance can clearly be seen.
A proportion of the station was never used, and it closed during World War Two, for six years being used for an air raid shelter. The Station Closed on the 30th of September in 1994 due to refurbishment costs that were considered commercially unviable.
At night, reports have been made of a Ghostly form of a figure who appears on the tracks. The Ghost is said to be that of an actress who does not know that the show has finished. It seems that the Ghost moved position from the original building to the track location when the station commenced operations. In the main those who have seen her were the night shift station cleaners.
