Meet at Temple Tube Station, Victoria Embankment, London WC2R 2PH

Join the London Fortean Society on a trek through the haunted secret passageways and spaces of Temple, Holborn and Bloomsbury. Go where the stories of damned souls, gentleman ghosts, martyrs, medical experiments and awfully modern apparitions still dwell.

This two-and-a-half-hour ghost walk you will hear of haunted pubs and tube stations, Oliver Cromwell’s undead walk, the ghosts of Senate House, an angry table, a malevolent Egyptian mummy, a doppelganger in Lincolns Inn, the curse of the forty steps in Bloomsbury and much more.

Your guide is London Fortean Society host Scott Wood. Scott is the host of the London Fortean Society, a regular writer for Londonist and the author of 'London Urban Legends: The Corpse of the Tube'.

Time-Slips

  Time-Slips 26 November 2024 In the early years of the 20th century, two ladies visited the gardens of Versailles. Whilst there, they apparently slipped back in time to the late 18th century. They published a book describing their experience, which in later years was debunked as misperception and hallucination. Case closed. Or is it? There are a plethora of similar contemporary reports of apparent slips through time, from brief glimpses to full interactive experiences. Most reports describe features from the past, but a few describe possible slips forward in time. Dr Ann Winspe r has been researching people apparently travelling through time for the last 20 years. She describes some of these fascinating cases and looks at possible explanations, as well as how not all can be explained through misperception and psychology.
