Ready for another haunted London story? Because we’re going back to the London Underground! This time, we’re covering the ghost stories and paranormal encounters on the Bakerloo Line.

Initially opened in 1906 and expanded since then, the Bakerloo line has transported millions of passengers across London, but some say that not all of them were alive…

From mysterious figures seen boarding a train and disappearing, to staff-only areas where contractors refuse to work alone, we’re getting into the haunted history of Bakerloo Line stations like Elephant & Castle, Embankment, Maida Vale, Marylebone and more.

We’ll sit down to chat about the most famous (and the more obscure) hauntings of the London Underground’s Bakerloo Line.

My whole aim for this channel is to educate and entertain you lovely people, using accurate factual information and personal experiences to the best of my knowledge. I spend hours and hours on the research for each one of my videos, using sources that I like to think are trustworthy. But let’s face it, no one’s perfect, and when you’re dealing with anything in history, especially the paranormal, mistakes will happen.

Each of these seven ghost stories comes from a real home, with firsthand accounts of experiences that witnesses still can’t fully explain.

From a garden refit that may have angered the long-passed, to unexplained bruises that appeared overnight, each of these stories centres around a home where something didn’t want to be ignored.

To my knowledge, these are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from someone’s own claimed experience. Make of them what you will.

Have you had an unexplained encounter that you would like to share? Tell me your story for a chance to be featured on the channel 👻 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbPjdRwf2UCYVDNsyN_wI7wk0m1oxIqpPWNWe_nliGZ9cIyQ/viewform

For nearly 150 years, Bodmin Jail was the kind of place you entered through those imposing gates, and prayed you’d one day leave again. Because not everyone did.

And perhaps this is the reason why the now-luxury hotel and visitor attraction is said to be haunted by former inmates, staff, and possibly… something far darker.
