Ghost Stories of London: The Bank of England, Bank London Underground Station

[@robertphelps1574]

Great video I believe I saw the ghost of William Jenkins.when I was younger I was at my friends house playing in his back garden which backs onto Nunhead cemetery. We decided to climb the wall into the cemetery and only in there for a few minutes when a tall figure dressed all in black and wearing a black hat came out of the undergrowth

Up until 1973 the Brigade of Guards, later the Household Division (foot guards) used to guard the Bank of England. After 1963 they were dropped there by truck but before that the "Bank piquet" used to march with a drummer or piper to the bank from the Tower of London( Waterloo barracks) and later from Chelsea or Wellington barracks. In heavy rain they proceeded to this duty by Underground! London was so much more interesting back in those days. What do we have now, Police with scruffy beards and ill-fitting uniforms, I could go on but never mind.

Thank you so much for sharing such an interesting comment. It seems technology has superseded such rich traditions sadly. Many thanks again and best wishes 👻🎃

I love reading the comments. I learn so much from all of you! I love history and so much of history has been lost.

[@thurayya8905]

​@@wifeofagrumpyoldmarine428 My father used to tell me, "What is history, but stories; just stories". He had a BA in History from Brown University.

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

ah but it's so much more than that, if you let it. It's a warning, a comfort, a companion, an instruction and most of all, a rhyme with what's to come. Happy New Year to you @@thurayya8905

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

I agree. When I was young (ominous precursor to long lecture about the good old days) police officers were respectful, polite, smartly dressed and correct in behaviour. Now, it seems to me they are little more than scruffy thugs. I have no doubt that there are many good eggs.....I just haven't met them. Growing up, we had a local bobby, who knew all the kids by name and would tick you off for naughty behaviour, with threats to tell your father. Once, when my teenage sister, alone in the house, was disturbed by OUR resident ghost, she ran outside to find him, he came and searched the entire place, and sat downstairs until she fell asleep. Then let himself out. This was London, in the early 60s. Can you imagine it now?

Fancy robbing a girl of the chance to say goodbye to her brother, how cruel. Little wonder she lost the plot.

Worked in the city at mansion House, opposite The Bank Of England, seen some odd things at night.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Mansion House is such a lovely building. The whole area is so historic. 👻🎃

Loving this channel so far! My dad used to work on the underground and has a fair share of spooky stories. Can't wait to see more of your content!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thanks so much for commenting. It’s interesting how many reports of odd events at the underground have occurred over the years. You will have to share your dad’s spooky tales! Glad you enjoyed. 👻🎃

[@timecapsule.]

I love hearing about the ghosts of London!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you for your comment. There are more ghost stories of London to come! Best wishes, 👻

[@ericanelson1973]

Not the first time I've heard the story of the "Nun" and her brother. That poor woman!

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Yes it’s an old story but interesting even today! Thanks for commenting, best wishes 👻🎃

[@ashaleewai8735]

Just stumbled on this channel and love it. I've always loved the paranormal. Do appreciate the wonderful voice over. Thanks

[@trevorwills3356]

The appeal of your channel to me is the history of the old buildings you feature so I subscribed today.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

thank you Trevor, I appreciate that. yes I think history connected with buildings is very valuable and glad you’ve subscribed. best wishes GC 👻😊

[@gaius_enceladus]

Great video! I'm loving this channel! Very down-to-earth and matter-of-fact.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thank you so much👻

[@juliefrancis2383]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Loved this episode.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Thanks and welcome , Julie! I hope you find other interesting tales and videos as the channel progresses. I appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙂

[@julieelcock8477]

I have never liked using the Bank Station, I always try and go a different way to somewhere. It does have a very sad feeling in there and it does have spirits there who seem to have an overwhelming sense of loss and sadness

[@amanitamuscaria7500]

completely agree - I would avoid it if I could.....so many stops within walking distance. It's very heavy and unpleasant.

[@thurayya8905]

I have heard of the black nun and her brother, but it was a dramatisized account. I appreciate knowing the facts and what is supposition.

[@ahuddleston6512]

I just stumbled upon your channel and immediately fell in love with it. I immediately subscribed. Keep up the awesome work 😁

[@ghostcasebook1266]

That’s so kind. Thank you for subscribing and commenting. There’s lots more to come 👻🎃

[@patricialong5767]

Poor, poor Sara Whitehead! So sad! :((

[@melodymacken9788]

Brilliant. Really like the way you deliver this topic.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

That’s so kind. Many thanks for your support. Glad you enjoyed the video 👻🎃

[@adamantman3200]

I live in Fairfax, VA, in the 'burbs of DC. There was a lot of heavy fighting during the Civil War throughout Northern Virginia. I live less than 10 miles from DC. I sometimes wonder just what is directly under my feet. I'm sure laying of the infrastructure and the over-building here has unearthed a lot of gruesome remains.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Hello Adam and thank you for commenting. I think wherever you have the remains of battles, disease, even ancient graves below ground, building on top might well affect these souls. Especially with the sheer volume of development happening in our cities today!

[@adamantman3200]

@@ghostcasebook1266 I've felt that way for years. I keenly feel the past whenever I am at an historic site. We also have a 'Gallows Road' here. I've determined that where the gallows once was is now the site of a huge mall. I won't go there. Since I did my research, it's just too creepy. Another site was a Confederate encampment. There's now a high rise apt building there. At another spot nearby, Lincoln himself once deployed 50,000 Union troops. This area at one point was mostly farmland. I've seen some early photos. I grew up in nearby Manassas, which was the site of two major battles. (Bull Run) It was also the site of a stragetic rail junction. I left there years ago and have been told there has been the site of major urban sprawl since I left. It was still fairly rural when I lived there 30 plus years ago.

[@robertmcharg6904]

Never mind ghosts, there interest rates are scary, brilliant channel, interesting stuff

[@ghostcasebook1266]

so glad you are enjoying the videos. yes, scary interest rates! 👻👻

[@michaelwhite8031]

I was at bank station one morning and a Franciscan monk wondered along the platform and boarded the train, it spooked me at first but l am sure it's wasn't a spirit.

[@mariastevens1774]

The tunnel between Monument and Bank stations is most certainly haunted.

[@ghostcasebook1266]

Hi Maria. Thank you for your comment. It’s a very long, eerie tunnel and I always feel on edge in there! 😱👻🎃

[@WabbitHunter68]

The whole station feels horrible to me. I was last there right after the London bombings and even though there was just me and my daughter on the platform it felt like there was someone else there with us.

[@neilmaguire1444]

6 foot 7 is considered exceptionaly tall even now! The average height of a UK male is 5 feet 9 inches.

[@garryferrington811]

And getting shorter.

Anyone who knowingly disturbs the resting place of someone (archeologists excepted) deserves to be cursed.
