It was a fortress that was intended to protect, also a palace that housed royalty, was the building that houses the Crown Jewels, and also was used as a prison for the nobility splendid misery.

The Tower of London is located next to the Thames in the heart of the city and is one of the oldest buildings, as well as an important monument of London.
With more than nine years of life are not always used as a building to receive tourists. It was a fortress that was intended to protect, also a palace that housed royalty, was the building that houses the Crown Jewels, and also was used as a prison for the nobility splendid misery. There, they met many important people to death, victims of the above decisions.
Perhaps for this reason it is said that this magnificent tower is the eternal abode of those who died violently behind its walls so many years ago, appearing at night and testing the strength of their guards.
Apparently most identified the emergence of all, walking through the halls, is Anne Boleyn, who was the second wife of Henry VIII. Anne Boleyn, died at the hands of the executioner who cut off his head a splendid May 19, 1506. By all accounts, his most famous appearance was in 1864. A guard says seeing her emerge from a mist, dressed in white robes but without the head.
Overcoming the terror, the guard tried to cross the appearance with his bayonet, but something like a light beam is transmitted through the canyon to reach him, causing him to faint. There were witnesses, two soldiers and one officer said they had seen the ghost of Anne through a window.
But not all. Apparently another appearance concern for the mission they have traveled the halls at night for safety. This is the Countess of Salisbury, Margaret Pole, killed by decapitation in the year 1541. It is said that when he sees before dying at the hands of his executioner, who repeatedly hit his neck before the head is separated from her body. It is undoubtedly a frightening experience.

in 1483, we see them walk the corridors timidly dressed in white and holding hands.
A spectrum that did not die in the Tower also appears occasionally. Thomas Becket murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in the year 1170. It appears that returns to where he was once governor.
And although it seems preposterous, it is said that to a large bear running through the wide aisles, making terrifying appearances and disappearances, will there also been beheaded?
In 1860, Edmund L. Swift, who was the Keeper of the Jewels of the Crown for nearly half a century, said one of the lookouts saw the bear coming out appear below a door. This guard, reacted instantly and rammed him with his bayonet, but on crossing the bear lost consciousness. This man could not be retrieved for printing and died a few days later.
The same charge of the royal jewels experienced one of those appearances, as the same story. While dining with his family before midnight, and his wife, were witnesses to a column of white mist, like a large glass tube, floated in the air. They play the white cloud on her shoulder and Edmund Swift threw a chair, cylindrical mist disappears from the room.
