The London Tombs are located beneath the London Bridge Experience, occupying the site of a former plague pit. During the 17th century, this area was used for mass burials of victims from the Great Plague of 1665. Excavations in the 1990s uncovered numerous skeletal remains, confirming the location’s grim history.

Paranormal activity reported in the London Tombs includes apparitions, disembodied voices, and unexplained cold spots. Visitors and staff have described seeing a shadowy figure known as the “Black Death Plague Victim,” believed to be the spirit of a man who perished during the epidemic. This entity is often observed wandering through the narrow passageways of the tombs.

Another frequently reported phenomenon is the ghost of a young girl named Emily, who allegedly died in a bakery fire nearby. Witnesses claim to have heard her crying and felt her tugging on their clothing. Some have even reported seeing her full-bodied apparition in period dress.

Staff members have recounted experiences of objects moving on their own, particularly in the area known as the mortuary. Tools and props have been found in different positions or locations from where they were left, with no apparent explanation.

Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) recordings conducted in the tombs have allegedly captured unexplained voices and sounds, including whispers and screams. Some investigators claim to have recorded responses to direct questions posed during their sessions.

The tombs’ connection to the River Thames has led to reports of a ghostly ferryman, believed to be associated with the river’s long history of transporting the dead. Visitors have described seeing this figure near the water’s edge, only for it to vanish when approached.
