Haunted London Underground

Haunted London Underground gathers reported ghost stories from stations, abandoned lines and forgotten railway spaces beneath the capital. David Brandon and Alan Brooke set these accounts against the network’s development, including its early railways, closed stations and links with former burial grounds.

Among the cases are an actress said to appear at Aldwych Station and the Black Nun associated with Bank. The book also records cries attributed to Anne Naylor, murdered near Farringdon in 1758, and reported screams connected with the Bethnal Green disaster during the Second World War. Further chapters consider ghost trains, defunct Underground stations and the railway’s treatment in film, television and books.
