The Most Haunted House In London - 50 Berkeley Square.

With the countdown to Halloween now under way, I want to begin October with a chiller of a ghostly tale. Number 50 Berkeley Square has long held the reputation as “the most haunted house in London”, and a legion of terrifying tales come marching out of its dark and sinister past. But how true are the ghost stories associated with it? In this video we trace the history of the hauntings from the early 19th century through to the present day. You will hear of a certain something that has reportedly caused the deaths from fright of anybody who has had the misfortune to encounter it in the darker recesses of the property. You will read newspaper reports on the house’s reputation, which used to draw curious crowds from locals and visitors to London alike. And you will gain a full understanding of how these chilling tales evolved over the years, combining fact with fiction, until the two became so blurred as to be indistinguishable.
