Did I encounter a GHOST? My incident at The White Tower, July 2007, Josef Jakobs story & chair

[@ruthdorward6105]

I also experienced something in 2008 on the stairs outside the White Tower, in the smaller doorway halfway up. Through the door you can see a stone spiral staircase where the bones of two children were found in the 1800's, suspected to be the two princes. I distinctly heard a boy's voice say, "Where's my brother?" My sister was standing two steps up and she heard nothing, but it was as clear as day! It certainly made me take a few backward steps!

[@timefoolery]

Very interesting!! That says to me that Richard, Duke of York, wasn’t the child Queen Elizabeth Woodville sent to keep Edward V company. Most curious.

[@lynnemidgley-ward8772]

We were in the Tower on London Marathon weekend a few weeks ago and we were in the White Tower on the Saturday afternoon. My husband said to me - "Did u just brush past me?" I said no...I was a good few feet away from him and there was loads of space behind him and not a lot of people in the room! It has freaked him out ever since so your video was very interesting!👍

I'm getting notices. I think it's the bell that needs to be set to All. My wife and I had the exact experience of someone push past in the Louvre. We were in the antiquities area, looking at a Roman bust of Livia Drusilla and felt someone knock into me but saw no one else; my wife felt it as well. Funny I haven't thought about that in years.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

chegeny thank you so much. So you had similar in the Louvre wow thank you so commenting. That actually makes me feel a bit better in a bizarre way!

Hi Nicola , i visited the Tower of London in 2019, my partner & myself are from New Zealand. When we entered the Chapel, i walked up too the front & to the right in front of the pews. I found myself frozen to the spot, unable to move or speak, tears streaming down my face & totally overcome with dispear & sadness. I wasnt frightened, just extremely sad. On leaving the Chapel the Yeoman asked me if i was ok, as he had seen what happened to me. 😢 I told him what had happened & what i had felt. He smiled & said " yes we all that live & work here have got used to that happening" And then he explained the history of all the people who had been buried under the floors of the Chapel. Tower of London is so worth visiting.

[@lizstevenson7801]

Having grown up in London and visited the Tower many times I can say it is the scariest place every time I visited. It felt like there were people near you that you couldn't see but sense they were there. The worst place was the bottom of the spiral staircase that led to where the two prince's died. Also I do remember one morning we were all lining up in the playground to enter school and the bell tolling from Pentonville prison as they hanged the prisoner. I was only young because I was in primary school N.1. Very near to the prison, we all somehow knew what the bell ment as we had overheard our grown ups talking about for a few days before it actually happend. Later I had friends who lived in the flats inside the grounds at Pentonville and they had seen a transparent white figure of a women floating up the staircase to their flats in a few occations. This was in 1960's. Thank you so much for your great work. 💕🇦🇺

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Liz thank you so much for this and for sharing your memories as a child. Pentonville was definitely a formidable prison in the 1960s and some of the spies from WW2 were hanged there. I had a look at Pentonville as it’s been in the news over the last few years as being completely unfit for purpose. I read that the last execution there (maybe the one you heard?) was in 1961, Edwin Bush, aged 21, stabbed a shop assistant in an antique shop just off Charing Cross Road, using an antique dagger. Then he and his girlfriend stole a sword and an antique dress which they subsequently sold. The police found his fingerprint on the dagger and a footprint so he was arrested. At the Old Bailey, Bush claimed that the murder was motivated by racial slurs the shop owner used towards him when haggling over the price of the sword, I think. I wonder who the figure of the woman is? That’s very interesting. Pentonville is a male only prison at the moment but perhaps it housed women in the early days. Many of the prisoner were awaiting transportation to your fine country so perhaps women were part of that 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

The female ghost might have been a wife or daughter, grieving for a lost man at the prison. I believe t's the emotion that is trapped. Emotion is the strongest thing....above all. Emotion is what makes us remember something, hang onto something and relive it. For instance, in the song Fields of Athenry, a young woman is grieving her man as the prison ship sails; I think it would be HER spirit we'd see, not his. It's a fascinating subject. @@ghostcasebook1266

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Nicola, my sister Leanne, was at the top of the stairs this was 2.30 in the morning in the year 1986 Leanne was around 7 years old, mam appeared at the door Mam said to Leanne "who are you talking to? Leanne said, the old lady at the top of the stairs, The Old lady says she'll knit Dad some socks for work" when Mam appeared, the Ghost disappeared, Mam put Leanne back to bed, the Ghost was wearing a Winceyette night gown, like what Kate Bush wore in the Wuthering Heights video, this is Paul (aka Choppy) in Whitehaven, Cumberland, England

[@johnjephcote7636]

The moment my grandmother passed away in our home, the nurse sitting in a chair at night saw the cat, previously dozing, suddenly startled, looking all around 'as if the room was full of people'. The nurse stood up and checked and my grandmother had left this world. A sobering and rather enlightening remembrance.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Wow that’s so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. Cats and dogs are quite receptive to changes so I wonder if the cat sensed something.👻🙋‍♀️

[@smjrn63]

Did you ever go to Hever Castle? I was there in June of 2022. After spending a long time touring the castle I started down the spiral stone staircase. I went down slowly and paused on the steps as I was looking at the walls and taking a photo of the stairs. You know that feeling of someone being behind you literally breathing down your neck? Well that is what I felt. I turned to apologize for blocking the way to find that I was alone. I felt a cold chill and got goosebumps. It was such a strange feeling. I did not feel like I was alone. Afterwards I went outside to tour the gardens and captured an amazing photo in the Italian garden. There is a small waterfall in a grotto that I was taking photos of. When I got back home to the USA and looked at my photos on my phone. I found that I captured a photo of a rainbow without color in front of that waterfall. I have to wonder if whatever was on those stairs was still with me.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Sharon thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I am very grateful for your comment on Hever Castle. I can’t reveal too much at this point but Hever is on my work in progress list so perhaps you’ll be interested to see the final outcome in time! what a brilliant story and thank you ever so much for sharing 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I am planning to visit Hever Castle in the future and some other locations in that direction for sure. How interesting that you had such an interesting feeling of being followed. That’s creepy but I know exactly what you mean 🙋‍♀️👻🙏

[@pilotgal6191]

As a veteran of the US Army, I had heard that members of military firing squads are randomly issued either bullets or blanks. None of the soldiers knows which casing they are issued so no one knows who ends up firing the fatal shot(s). Sounds like that may be true for the British military as well. I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos (have been subscribed for quite awhile) and really appreciate your meticulous research and attention to the little details. Please keep your wonderful content coming!!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much Pilot Gal and my understanding is that the soldiers are unaware if they have blanks, as you’ve described. Thank you for your kind words and there are more videos to come 🙋‍♀️👻

[@borderlands6606]

It has been said that the issue of blanks is a myth, and all members of a firing squad are given live rounds. This goes back to the days when deserters or "cowards" (people incapacitated with shell shock, usually) were shot by their own side. It provided the opportunity for them to hope they hadn't killed their fellow soldiers. As officers frequently had to finish off the individual with a pistol shot to the head, one assumes they aimed at less lethal areas or missed entirely, unable to shoot to kill a comrade.

[@lameesahmad9166]

If in fact this is true it is a very kind thing to do. To protect the minds of the men in the firing squad is a noble and compassionate gesture.

[@lameesahmad9166]

Your description of the chair used in the execution of this spy is excellent. The way you described it really brought to life the rharsh eality of the last moment of thus mans life. Of course we can temper the story with the harsh reality of the hundreds or maybe even thousands of not only soldiers but civilians who died by either finding that their war operation had been leaked and they were mown down by enemy fire or captured and sent to the awful Nazi concentration camps or had their lives taken away by the bombs which destroyed buildings in England.

[@MsSteelphoenix]

This is correct. In World War One on the Western Front, there were a lot of executions of 'cowards'. The procedure was generally that they would be shot by members of their own unit; usually twelve soldiers. Between two and four bullets were placed in the rifles, the rest blanks, and the rifles would be shuffled before and sometimes afterwards. General Haig was called 'Butcher Haig' because he was so keen on it for purposes of 'stiffening up' the troops. 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers were executed over the course of the war and only pardoned in 2006. There is a documentary here on KZbin called 'The Other Side Of WWI: The Men Who Were Shot At Dawn', I recommend it if you would like more information.

[@pumpkinpatch5]

Last year I went to a work do at Colwick Hall in Nottinghamshire. My team and I were seated at a table in the hall cafe waiting for lunch food to be brought out and I was having a conversation with one of my colleagues when I suddenly felt something brush past my arm, like air shifting as someone walks past. I turned around thinking it was the lady serving food, here with some plates, but there was nobody there. My colleague noticed me look and stop all puzzled. I later found out that the hall is said to be haunted by a past lady occupant who walks the corridors and around the rooms. The whole place is quite spooky, with a church ruins in the grounds said to be haunted by a woman in white and a priest and the woods and lake where a man named William Saville murdered his wife and children, who now haunt the area. Your experience reminded me of mine. It's so uncanny, isn't it? Feeling that there's 'something there.'

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Yes indeed it does sound similar to my experience. I’d like to cover some stories in Nottingham and surroundings in the future 🙋‍♀️👻

[@guavaB52]

Since I was young (I'm an American expat), I have had so many ghostly encounters, yet they've always been visual and auditory. I haven't felt a spirit physically. Although, I did experience my mother's bed shake violently in the middle of the night. She lived directly behind the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California. So many incidences happened, that I've been writing a book about it all but actually don't know enough about how it all works. I've been in England for over 10 years, and have had ghostly experiences in Colchester mainly. Thank you for your wonderful series, I love your listening to your voice and of course all the research you have done.

[@valpayne2963]

I had an unexplained experience at the Tower of London. Annoyingly I cannot remember the name of the tower I was in. I had walked up steps into the entrance and then turned right, walking along a wall with windows towards a short flight of very wide wooden steps that went up to another level, only 8 or 10 steps. I took a couple of steps up and was suddenly hit with…and this is the only way I can describe it…a wall of absolute dread. A feeling so strong it stopped me in my tracks and I could not go further. It was as though physically I could not go further. I went back down the couple of steps and just went somewhere else, stunned by this strange experience.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Val thank you so much. That’s so interesting. Reminds me a bit of the dungeon and Warwick castle. Very easy to feel completely overwhelmed for no logical reason. I wonder where abouts in the Tower you were. Thank you so much 👻🙋‍♀️

[@borleyboo5613]

Apparently, many years after Jakobson’s execution, an old lady approached a Yeoman Warder and asked him to show her ‘where her father had been executed’ The lady was Josef Jakobson’s daughter. As for your experience on the wooden stairs, and as someone who is studying parapsychology, I’d love to look into that further. Very interesting. Great video and very well narrated and researched. Thank you.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much for your comment Borley Boo! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video and all the best with your studies for sure. I did read the account of Jakobs’ daughter asking about where he’d been executed. I might be wrong but the book that published the account might have put a bit of a sensationalist spin on it; it was suggested that the army cut a piece of black fabric into a typical heart shape and pinned it on Jakobs too. I’m not convinced that would be true but who knows 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

[@Greymalkin-]

Wonderful video, as always. You're such a gifted storyteller, and the level of research and your empathy really sets you apart as a creator. Your story at the White Tower is quite unnerving (and what a rude ghost!). I had a similar experience in a very innocuous fruit & veg shop near Penzance once 😂, and it's hard to describe because it's so inexplicable and bizarre. When I mentioned it to the lady who worked there, feeling rather embarrassed and expecting to be laughed at, she wasn't at all surprised and reeled off all the strange things that have happened there like she was grateful to get it off her chest. To have it somewhat validated makes it more spooky somehow, and you were one of quite a few people who experienced the same thing! Another ToL story for you: My granddad was in the Scots Guards and was stationed in the Tower as a sentry a few years after WW2. He'd noticed that he hadn't seen another sentry he knew there for a few days, and was told that the man had been taken off duty. Apparently he'd seen a lady in medieval dress leading a candlelit procession one night at the Tower, and it sounds like he'd had a nervous breakdown afterwards (it wasn't said so politely back then), so he was taken off duty and the whole thing was hushed up outside of the regiment. My mum and I tried to research this sighting, and found a mention of an "unauthorised light in the chapel" coming from "a ghostly procession of knights and ladies pacing up and down within. At their head was a woman..." in a book called Haunted England by Christina Hole, referencing an earlier book.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you ever so much greymalkin. This is really interesting. Wow a fruit and veg shop in Penzance; well to be honest I think events happen in all kinds of places, not just castles and oldie buildings. In Cardiff a newly built Ibis is said to be haunted! Having looked through the comments, others have experienced similar events and to be honest I found that reassuring. You can think you’re imagining things but you’re not. Thank you so much for sharing the story of your granddad. What an interesting story. Your point about events being reported (or not) and attitudes towards mental health at that time when people have experienced something is fascinating. I have some more stories concerning that idea of not reporting events at the Tower for fear of being ridiculed. Might have to do a part 4! Thank you for your comment about research and empathy. Means a great deal to me Greymalkin 👻🙋‍♀️

[@hksproductions8507]

I'd like to confirm that I too have experience the strange activity at the doors to the white tower. It was back in 2021 when i was visiting London. It was myself and my mother and we were stood two stairs from the door and the outside platform. We had just seen the crown jewellery and decided to go in the white tower. We were discussing Anne boleyn, Henry the 8th second wife, it was then when I felt a bump from behind me. I'd been looking in the direction of Thame and Tower Bridge, when I felt myself be bumped from behind, I turned to see what was happening but nothing had changed. My mother, who noticed me quickly turn asked if I was all right. I joking said that a ghost had bumped. We had a good laugh about it. I haven't told her the truth, she doesn't believe in ghost so she wouldn't believe me anyway. The experience sends shivers down my spine to this day. To think something was there with us.

[@hksproductions8507]

Hello again, I know this is un expected but I'm actually here to update this story. Recently during the winter of 2023, my friends and I were in London, specifically the tower. I am going to say this first, I never told them the story of what happened in 2021. We decided to split into two groups, 4 of us went to the white tower, whilst a small group, consisting of me and 2 others went to see the crown jewellery. It was about 12:30 when the two groups reunited outside the small cafe on the sight. My, then friend and now boyfriend, Luke was clearly shaken, as was the rest of the group. They explained to me that whilst they were waiting to enter something had rushed past them, rather forcefully. It had been forcefully enough to knock Luke over. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, just a scratched knee. Supposedly they asked the person at the door who had rushed past then. The lady at the door simply responded "I don't know." It's a event that still makes Luke shiver.

We went to the tower in December 2022,whilst in the chapel royal we asked the yeoman if he had ever seen anything,the only thing he said was he was working like he was that day in the Chapel and it was nearly closing time,he had been talking to a group and as they left he noticed a man and a woman still in seperate areas of the Chapel,he went to main door as he was getting ready to lock up,the man walked past him but the woman did not,he said he went back in and nobody was there and there was no other way possible that she could of got out or walked past him without him seeing her.

[@maureencope2752]

We lived in the Tower for 20 years. I never in all that time saw anything that could be described as a paranormal experience

[@elizabethpaints]

Maybe someone has mentioned this already, concerning that movement or shove you experienced on the stairs. That place is full of hundreds of years of energies. Energies of people who lived there, worked there, etc, the coming's and going's....and I think maybe at that time of the day, that energy is plowing it's way up the stairs, determined to carry out it's errand. That was a great story! Not many people get to experience the paranormal as you have! Great videos, love your channel!

Where I used to work in HMS Nelson, portsmouth, the junior ranks block that had the naffi I worked in, above that was their dining hall and above that a functions room. And off that functions room, was a small side room and apparently there's a ghost thats always seen in there, I asked one of the big civvies bosses can I go up there. He said yes, so I sat in that room for a little while. Nothing. But I did see a ghost in a nursing home I worked in many years ago. That one I didn't go out of my way to look for.

A note: I found the dead man's hole on my last visit to London and I don't think the sign is there anymore unfortunately. Maybe I was just distracted telling my girlfriend about the mortuary and the tiles lol. I didn't have anything as distinct as your experience but many years ago when I was in the...I believe St Thomas tower? The one that they have set up as a king's bedchamber. It was me, my mom, and my three siblings in the fairly large room. No one else. And there was suddenly the sensation like a huge group of people had just passed through. The air currents, the way the floor feels when a lot of other people walked by, all of it. No *sounds*, but other sensations. It's hard to describe, but honestly I felt like a group of tourists had just tramped past us. My siblings were kids and didn't say anything but they all scooted over to the walls like they were expecting a group to come through. Very strange. The tower is an incredible place, and I'd give anything to be allowed to stay overnight! I just subscribed a couple days ago, and for some reason the Tower ghost stories didn't show up in my subscribed feed, but this video did. I don't know why, I suspect KZbin is doing some algorithm nonsense...

Sometimes they show presences….a red circle on my App is an intense reflection. Only in The Tower…in the Armory…my…App…showed multiple red circles…all…around me! I cut the visit short…as I felt unwell….my last visit to The Tower…for sure.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much, as ever my friend! Goodness me, Redcoat, my word with an app like that, I'd be a nervous wreck! It sounds brilliant though. Have you done any videos in locations with your app? I'm fascinated! 👻🙋‍♀️🙏

Hi. Just thought I would share a couple of experiences that happened to me, and.. ome of which continues to happen to me. Both of which are quite similar to your experience at the Tower... One afternoon, I was in my apartment.. flat.. where I lived only with my cat. I was playing my piano, lost in my music, and I felt two distinct tugs.. ome after the other, on the back of my shirt, between my shoulder blades. Well, I quickly turned around and said, Hey Angus, stop it... I thought it was my cat, however, I looked across the room, and Angus was on my window ledge in the living room. Nowhere close to me. To this day I still struggle to think about what it actually was. Now, another occurrence that happens to me quite often, is a little weirder.. and i would love to know if this happens to others.. Quite often when i lay down in bed and close my eyes, as soon as i get into bed for the first time, i will feel like someone has just layed down beside me. I can feel the bed as if a weighted person, or something, has layed down also and made the matress wieghed down on the opposite side. I can actually feel the matress move. Its a very strange feeling, and it really freaks me out becuaee it happens quite regularly. Its just strange.

Thank you for the link you gave me to part 2 off this series, in reply to the comment I left you when i watched part one of the tower ghosts. I watched part 2 thoroughly captivated, and I went on to watch part 3, and your personal video of your own experiences at the Tower. Once again, these latest vdeoa i watched were wonderful... its just everything you do and how you do it. You have a calming, yet intriguing voice that suits your videos perfectly. You come across as being very Intelligent, knowledgeable on the subject, and , your voice is very soothing and friendly. I love all the videos ive watched so far, and im just trying to catch up with as many as I can, and as quiclky as I can. Im looking forward to watching more tomorrow evening. Its 10:20pm here, and now what I look forward to every day, is coming home from work, and watching two or three of your videos. Thank you. Cheers from Ontario, Canada

[@dianetheisen8664]

Regarding the 'incident' on the stairs: you know it happened because others experienced it too. But you have to wonder, why would anyone be in such a hurry to get into the Tower? Maybe if it was the opposite, I can understand. Anyway, very eerie, indeed. As for the chair; I get it. It's an everyday object found in most homes, but in this case, used for a darker purpose. I can certainly understand the chilling feeling of seeing it in person and letting your imagination take you to the last day of Jacob's.

I lived most of my life in Germany and would like to pay tribute to the bravery of Josef Jakobs for even attempting a parachute jump into enemy territory alone, as an undercover agent. Likewise to all those fearless English souls who were dropped into Vichy France and elsewhere in Europe and were caught and executed in a similar fashion. Extraordinarily brave people. May they all rest in peace.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Alex I understand your point here. It struck me how poorly prepared the men were and Jakobs had never done a parachute jump before. But it was a risky game for all sides involved 🙏

I forgot about this when I made my last comment on your last video Castle of London III. The Lee Enfield rifle used on ??? I forgot his name. My bad. Joseph? Anyway that was a .303 174 grain. Not as powerful as a 30.06 but you seen what it did to the chair. Also, him saying Shoot Straight... He already knew what would happen if he got caught. Think of it this way... If he Did Not get caught how many lives may have been lost? He knew what he was doing so... Any way remember this.... When you pass you might be a ghost. I don't think so. You're way too nice and you will be a Spirit and cross right over. And on that note I hope to meet you there. As usual. Keep up the Excellent work.

[@ambermyers1330]

I tell all my family about your videos! Some of them roll their eyes at my belief in there being something after this life - but I don’t challenge them on their skepticism. Unless you personally have experienced something paranormal I can understand how it can be difficult for some to “believe”. I’ve had 2 experiences that convinced me there’s is something unexplainable out there. First one was at Hampton Court, I was there on a school trip. I was in Year 6 and I was so excited because I have always loved history! We were being taken around by the guide and we stopped at the Haunted Gallery. Now I don’t know if it was due to our age but the Guide never called it the “Haunted Gallery”. Just “The Gallery”. He was talking about the portraits there and I suddenly felt very unwell. I had the most oppressive headache, I felt really nauseous and then it all went black. I woke up with my head in my teachers lap - I had hit the deck! The guide was trying to give me chocolate and telling me I must have low blood sugar. As soon as we left that area I was fine! It wasn’t until I was a little older I had read about Catherine Howard breaking free of her guards and running down the gallery to The Chapel in a bid to beg Henry VIIII for her life and how she has been seen by many in the subsequent years running and screaming down the Gallery. I do remember my teacher saying quietly to my Mum that the guide said that fainting in that part of Hampton Court was a frequent reaction from many visitors - but I never knew why. My second experience was in a seaside town in Kent called Broadstairs. It was at The Charles Dickens Museum House there but this comment is already long enough! I just love to hear of other peoples experiences, I find them strangely comforting and also validating! Your story about The Tower is so incredibly interesting. It’s one of my favourite places to visit and will keep in mind your story the next time I visit! Your videos are a joy and I will continue to spread the word of your amazing channel! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dianegardner2658]

On my goodness this is exactly the same experience I had in 1972! My friend and I were visiting celebrating the end of our o'levels. It was late spring and the weather was chilly but sunny. We entered the long gallery where there was an art exhibition in so there were paintings hanging on a sort of v shaped display wall all the way down the gallery. We were the only ones in there except for an attendant sitting at the far end. As we started down the gallery I became aware of something walking very close behind us. But there was no-one there. We got about half way along and I started to feel faint and very frightened. My friend took one look at me and hurried me out of the building to the cafe. She said I was as white as a sheet. She had not felt anything. We had a coffee and I started to feel better although still shaking. As we say there a gentleman came up to ask if I was ok. It turned out that he was the man sitting at the end of the gallery and he was on his lunch break. He said he had seen me keeping looking behind me and then my friend helping me leave and hoped I was ok. I told him what I had experienced he said I had experienced the ghost. We didn't have a guide book and really didn't know we were in the 'haunted gallery's we were just looking at the paintings. I never want to experience that again but was really pleased to hear someone else had had a similar experience in the same place. I have had a couple of experiences since then but nothing quite so disturbing.

Lovely video as always. Glad you shared your story. And to try to get an answer for what happened that day at the Tower, you could always try to find a psychic at the famous Arthur Findlay College in, I think, Stanstead, England.

Amazing telling of Jakob's story and much research done for this, great job. Your own experience while visiting the White Tower is intriguing, as I understand paranormal phenomenon though I'm no expert, this wouldn't be a recording on the atmosphere, as psychics call it 'residual' energy as I don't think there's physical contact with that so your experience does suggest there was an entity there that barged past you. Wow! Anyway, thanks for this indepth episode and keep em coming.😀👏

Hello from Washington State USA. First off, I wanted to say what an incredible job you do on your videos. As far as disappearing subscribers go, I have found myself unsubscribed from channels through no actions of my own. This leads me to believe its either a glitch or intentional on KZbin's part. In reference to the trained canine who wouldn't go into the building, I have a fully trained diabetic alert dog. On 3 separate occasions in my house, he behaved strangely in my kitchen. Each time he started to walk in, only to react to something in the same spot , and either back out again, whining in disress. A couple times, he would retreat into the living room and begin barking towards the kitchen, clearly frightened. I'm a new subscriber and love your content.

[@phoenixrising6245]

Truly fascinating account of your brush with the paranormal at the tower.!! The chair? Yes, I can understand your sense of 'intrigue' with the chair. On the one hand, there's the gruesome tale of a man's execution and then the (amusing) tale of your gran - who owned that style of chair - giving you money to run along to the 'bookies', to place a 'bet' for her. It really made me smile!! So, a mixture of feelings whenever you glance at that chair, imo! Top video as always. I'm receiving notifications btw!!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much Phoenix! Yes the chair is special. I’m glad the story about my gran made you smile. The bookies in those days, in my village, was a chap in a kiosk behind a pub. It wasn’t like the large betting shops of today with sky sports etc. He basically was independent, smoked a pipe and was surrounded by ledgers and newspapers. He knew we were her grandkids and we’d pass the bookies on our way to school, so we were always in and out of there. It was entirely illegal as we were kids, but nobody cared to be honest! 👻🙋‍♀️

Great video, great story. I worked in an Australian I.C.U. The hospital was very old and very haunted. I worked there for years. I’m not teasing you about this - it’s just that there’s to many incidents to relate - but I mention this as I’m sure that lots of people have had experiences ( like a shove, or a touch ) that they have explained away. More people have had things like this happen to them, than will admit to it. Love your channel, thank you. Blessings,❤.

Thank you so much Iain, that’s really interesting. I always find it interesting when people encounter odd things at work.

It really startled me, the incident on the steps, but I agree, too many incidents to just be a coincidence perhaps 🤔🙂👻

[@raindog428]

What hospital was that?

[@HePlaysThePiano]

Another great video, weirdly i was in The Tower of London just last week as i live in nearby CG and have an unlimited pass for The Tower, Hampton Court etc. I really like reading some of the comments (sone more than others), specifically with regards to those with first hand experience... " said The Tower was the scariest place on earth! " .... Anyway it got me thinking, a suggestion for you to consider? The easily missed pavement circle denoting where The Tyburn Tree once stood for the best part of 600 years and countless executions took place. I have never heard anyone mention a ghostly experience there. Yes i can understand why not as it is quite urban and grim, easily missed but because of that aspect i wonder if any have had any strange experiences there ?? Maybe you could think about a video about Tyburn and see if any comments are posted from viewers saying anything of interest ? .... On the subject of The Tower, yes it defo has an atmosphere there, in particular The White Tower. The only place i have experienced such an abundance of the feeling of 'hundreds of invisible eyes upon you' as you do there, is Hampton Court ! Well doe on another great video !

[@ghostcasebook1266]

James, I thank you so much for your comment and support. Hampton Court is coming but not just yet 🙂I can’t reveal too much on that. Your suggestion about the Tyburn tree is very interesting. I’m not sure how ghostly it might be; I’d need to look into this, but with regards to stories behind executions at the Tyburn tree, I think there are many, many stories, many quite chilling! Thank you so much for your comment and stay tuned 🙋‍♀️🙏👻

[@HePlaysThePiano]

​@@ghostcasebook1266 Looking forward to the Hampton Court video. I actually had a bona fide supernatural experience at Hampton Court approx six months ago. I know i would have dismissed it (to myself )as my imagination playing tricks on myself if it were not for the fact that two other people experienced it along with me, the other two being H C staff members and i even managed to take footage on my mobile. One of the staff members in particular was quite visibly shaken by the experience ... Fascinated and almost in disbelief at what i had experienced, i then spent the days after my visit doing further research on what i had experienced during my visit and discovered many many others talking of very similar experiences that myself and the others had heard whilst there. Genuinely quite shocking, as you tend to only read of these things, read of it happening to others and not experience it first hand! Anyway Hampton Court is defo something else .... the way i would describe it to anyone who has never visited is, as soon as you arrive, it feels as though there are a hundred sets of invisible eyes upon you. scrutinising your every move as you walk throughout Hampton Court .... p.s one last thing that i would like to say Nicola.... i have read many comments talking about how soothing they find your voice to be as a narrator, which it defo is, however, i would also like to add that in general i feel that a voice can tell something about the person speaking. Conveys their personality in some way. With your narration, i feel when people say your voice is soothing, i think they are picking up on you being the gentle soul that you are -)

[@ghostcasebook1266]

If I had a unseen person bump into me I don't know if I would be brave enough to have stayed for the tour. A job in that building would definitely be beyond me. To many unjustifiably killings like Anne Boleyn. She had done nothing wrong other than not producing a male. The king was asshole sleeping around with another woman while accusing his loving wife of all those false charges. Now the proven charges against the German spy deserved to die but to see the chair which held him would be difficult to see. You are brave to go back several times to the spooky ghost filled tower. A lot of sadness in that building.

[@kristinepakule7204]

Hi! I appreciate the way you put your stories❤As to this one - I had a similar encounter at my working place, a state gymnasium in Latvia one evening. I was busy doing paperwork and had to make some copies,so I needed to unlock the door of our IT lab which was the closest to my office with a copy machine. However, the cleaner lady couldn't open it for me as the alarm box, the buttons din't work. She tried several times and every time the code display always showed LOCKED. I have to mention that this cleaner had worked at this school for more than 15 years and it had never happened to her, that a code didn't work. Then I said: Ok, then I'll do it tomorrow and went back to my office upstairs. It was approx.9 p.m. and on the final step before the platform to enter my office something cold and solid, well I had the feeling, as if a real person had gone through my left side. I din't see anything but the feeling was as if this something didn't reach the ground and was a bit bigger than me/over my head. For a glimpse of a second I thougt a student rushed into me as I was used to be among hundreds of students every day and did my job with real passion,but then I realized how late it is and all the school children had gone home long ago. There were big windows in front of me but they were closed so it couldn't have been a wind blow,and it didn't feel like air at all, rather something solid/thick. Some thick cold energy, I an x-ray or something like that. I have to mention, that I didn't go home that night, I called a collegue and asked if I could stay with her, I was stuttering for the first time in my life and calmed down a bit only in her flat with a cup of tea. It was also strange that the cat of my collegue kept brushing his head and showed very big interest in my left side, my arm and shoulder, even jumped on the table to do so. This cat usually is quite shy and unfriendly with strangers and it hadn't seen me before. The strange feeling in the left lide of my body remained till the middle of the next day and then gradually wanished. I have worked in the premises of this school for 20 years and had never had a similar encounter, however there are still rumors of spirits walking around from the time when this building was used as a hospital during World War II.

Love your passion when you tell your personal experiences. You are such a great storyteller that I feel I am right there with you. Another great video Nicola! 👻💀😎

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Oh goodness thank you so much. I was so nervous to do this video as it’s rather different from my usual ones but I’m so pleased people enjoy the stories. It’s quite difficult to tell stories first hand but If you were able to imagine along with the description, that makes me happy! 🙂

[@mandyb4140]

So far thankfully had no problems my end getting notifications I getting your amazing videos. Many thanks for uploading them, as they are a mixture of interesting and facinating.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

You’re welcome Mandy, thank you so much 😊

[@lizzieh5284]

Ive just found your channel. Its so interesting. Thank you for telling us of your eerie experience. I look forward to watching your other vids.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

You are very welcome Lizzie H and welcome along! 👻🙋‍♀️

Hi Nicola, thanks for your hard work and beautiful videos, they’re amazing! I live in Canada, and came to visit London a few years ago before lockdown. I was waiting on the staircase near to where you described, but a little further down. Same with me, I was just kind of looking around and not thinking about anything in particular, when suddenly I had the overwhelming urge to move to the side as if someone was coming down the stairs quickly. I didn’t hear or see anything, just that brief moment. How interesting!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Oh my days it was such a bizarre event and what you have described is exactly right. How bizarre! what is that? I am at a loss to identify what happened. I’m not kidding, for a few days after this incident I genuinely worried I losing my marbles but the reactions of the family in front of me allowed me to accept this bizarre event. Thank you for sharing. I have some plans for some Canada stories coming soon 🙋‍♀️👻

[@julierobertson4191]

@@ghostcasebook1266 I have thought a lot about this experience since it happened, and wonder if it’s a soldier or someone still purposefully carrying out urgent business from some point in the past. I’m hoping to come visit London again in the next couple of years, so I will definitely be returning to the Tower for another look. ❤️👻 I look forward to hearing Canadian stories too! Thanks again for all your hard work and beautiful videos! xx

I had a teacher in college (long ago) who said something that always stuck with me. "Be THE expert in something. It doesn't matter what it is-- big or small. But be the expert in it." It seems to me that the story of Jakobs has really struck you beyond simple curiosity. Keep researching it. Become the expert.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Jeff with all sincerity I don’t know what to say. Thank you and I am moved to the core by your wonderful comment. Truly. I absolutely hear the words of your teacher and I’m so honoured that you feel those words are applicable to me. I’m a really inquisitive person and I love history, weird stories, bizarre cases and whatever it is, I get completely absorbed into it. I often begin researching a video and I’m off on a trail again, but if this video has given you an insight into something new, I’m absolutely thrilled. I really enjoy making these videos and I want them to be interesting and whilst this video isn’t typical of my normal videos, I hope it was engaging. I’m an amateur enthusiast but I want to share my passion for the unknown, history, architecture, culture etc in my own way, so thank you so much. ❤❤❤

reference Buckingham Palace, my Father was sergeant of the Guards, when he and my mum argued i would go into his work with him. he would take me around the palace on his tour, show me the old cells where prisoners would be, i would hear all sorts of noises, my father would tell me they were the tortured souls of the old prisoners. he would then take me outside and show me the statues on the palace and told me to count them, I actually counted 12 just after 1 AM in the morning he would take me around and told me to count them again this time i counted 13. there was a figure of a man from the middle ages who would look out and surveyed the surrounding terrain. apparently when my father would lie me down on the bed and he did his notes he would come to me and ask who i was talking too, apparently i would tell him i am talking to that man there.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Hello and thank you for your comment and story. Do you mean the Tower of London? Buckingham Palace wasn’t built with a prison as far as I know. But if it’s the Tower of London, I can imagine the strange sights for sure! 👻🙋‍♀️

[@amyjones8114]

You live in an amazing country!

[@MsSteelphoenix]

Fascinating stuff! The fact that so many people around you is very validating. 'Malleable for double-cross work' means that MI5 considered turning Jakobs against his own side and feeding false information to them. I'm surprised they didn't do that.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Yes it was a very odd event and I still remember it to this day. The man was especially freaked out and I know he tried to keep it together but he went white! Yes, I understand more about double cross these days. Thank you ever so much for your kind words 🙋‍♀️👻🙏

[@GinaW7061]

I love your enthusiasm when telling the stories, and your very clear voice. The Tower has always been of great interest to me with it's vast history and famous and infamous occupants. These four videos have really been amazing, including your strange encounter at the White Tower, and I've learned so much. Thank you 🌹

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much and I am so pleased you’ve enjoyed learning about the history and my weird experience. It was very strange! 🙋‍♀️👻

[@Contessa6363]

Interesting about the monks. Most likely they were performing evening vespers or evening prayers.😃👍👍♥️

Thank you MGM 👻🙋‍♀️

[@eoindee7007]

Amazing video and what Amazing experiences, not least your own Nicola. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Keep up the great work 👍 👏

The .303 Lee Enfield was a very powerful weapon, anyone in the case mate would have heard without a doubt, hopefully his death was instantaneous. Great story about your encounter!🙏🏻

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Alex, thank you. I must ask you a question. Regarding the .303 rifle (I believe this refers to the ammunition?) Do you say 'A point 303 Lee Enfield rifle'' or how would you express this in words regarding the .303? Please help me and thank you 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@alexwilliamson1486]

@@ghostcasebook1266 in Army parlance it would just be the “303” or “Lee Enfield” We called it the “303” when I was in cadets, a long time ago! The kick from the recoil was memorable?! One thing that interests me, though is that most spies caught by the authorities were soon “turned” and made to work for them, what was this guys reasons I wonder?

[@johnjephcote7636]

I used to fire them we always called it the SMLE .303 Short Magazine Lee-Enfield. It gave a hefty kick when firing and in the butts, the noise and richochets were 'interesting'. At point blank range that was a sure killer. @@ghostcasebook1266

As far as the notification button is concerned, nothing nefarious is going on. It just needs to be refreshed every so often. Turn off the bell, then turn it back on. 😁🥳👍🏻

Friends of mine owned a cat who was so famous locally for her ability to see "something" that a realtor paid to have her inspect properties for "problems". If she strolled about, sat on a window sill and groomed or bird-watched, all was well. However, if she cowered in her basket, ears flat and hissing at corners -- on one occasion her eyes tracking "something" moving along a wall -- the sale price dropped if the deal wasn't cancelled altogether. (No, my friends weren't believers. They were young, skint, amazed and delighted to learn the locals would pay for her services.)

[@ghostcasebook1266]

I love that! Thank you for sharing. That sounds like a talented cat. My cat doesn’t have any talent…wait, that’s not true. She has a talent for eating and sleeping and she’s Olympic gold medal at getting in my way and being a trip hazard! 😸🙄
