Tower






                                   For  many  years  the  Tower  served  as  a  royal

                                       prison  for  the  guilty  nobility,  and  many  people


                                       died  in  its  walls.  Over  the  centuries,  employees

                                       and  visitors  hear  and  see  a  lot  of  ghosts  in

                                       various  parts  of  the  castle.  Most  often  they  see

                                       two  princes  -  King  Edward  VII  and  his  younger


                                       brother  Richard,  Duke  of  York,  walking  arm  in

                                       arm.  They  were  treacherously  killed  by  order  of

                                       their own uncle - Richard III.


                                   Annually, on the anniversary of the execution of


                                       the Countess of Salisbury, beheaded by the order

                                       of  Henry  VIII,  a  vision  appears.  Eyewitnesses

                                       clearly  watch  the  countess  ghost  and  hear  her

                                       screams, see the executioner, preparing to do his


                                       job.  As  soon  as  the  ax  descends,  everything

                                       disappears.
