Do you fancy a day of London Ghosts? Hearing talks on haunted hospitals, Spring-heeled Jack, London vampires and the ghosts of Senate House and lots more? Fancy breaking that up with songs about London ghosts and a short film or two? They we might have a day for you.

Not long to go until our London Ghosts Conference at Bishopsgate Institute on 27 October 2012. If you've not heard of it yet we've a dedicated page with full details and a booking pages for the conference at We Got Tickets and EventBrite. There's no Fortean Times UnConvention this year so we thought it was the ideal time to take a good look at London ghosts.

Speakers include Roger Luckhurst, Mark Pilkington, Mike Dash, Alan Murdie and John Frasier of the Ghost Club,  John Constable of Crossbones Graveyard, Rob Stephenson, Paul Cowdell and many more.

We've even found our own ghost, the ghost of Bishopsgate Insititute, which comes to us via the multi-talented Senate House ghost expert, speaker and artist Sarah Sparkes. We call our ghost 'Ghost Lucy'.

Check the London Ghost Conference page for full details and we hope to see you there for a fine start to London's Halloween fund.

    Amazing article. Thanks for sharing with us. I would like to share the information about the App development companies in Pune, India. The close connection between creating an app and a business's success is highlighted by how flexible these digital tools can be. A well-made app acts like a helpful guide, steering companies through the twists and turns of customer needs, market changes, and the challenges of staying innovative.
