The Tower of London, Part 2: Ghost of Anne Boleyn | 13

Welcome back, as we continue our ghost tour of the Tower of London, focusing on the notorious female phantoms and femme fatales who have left an indelible mark on its history.

In our previous episode, we met the Countess of Salisbury Margaret Pole, Lady Arbella Stuart, and England's nine-day queen, Lady Jane Grey. But tonight, we turn our attention to one of history's most enigmatic figures and one of the most famous ghosts in the world: Anne Boleyn.

Anne's tragic fate and complex legacy have captured the public imagination for nearly 500 years. From her rise as a bewitching presence at the English court to her tumultuous relationship with King Henry VIII and her eventual execution, her story is steeped in intrigue and scandal. But beyond the sensationalised narratives of seduction and betrayal lies a haunting question: who was the real Anne Boleyn?

From the rise of Spiritualism in the 19th century to modern-day paranormal tourism, Anne Boleyn's ghostly presence continues to fascinate. Whether viewed as a victim, a seductress, a political pawn, or a feminist icon, her legacy lives on – and perhaps her ghost does, too.
