My good friend the historian and author Richard Jones would, I think, definitely confirm that London stands head and shoulders above all other cities in the haunted stakes. There are more ghosts per square mile in London than in any other place on Earth. This of course is due to its vastness compared to other UK cities and to its long history as the capital of England. It has long been more densely populated and that in itself produces more than the average number of ghostly happenings.

I have been a frequent visitor to London and during my career as a spirit medium investigating ghostly sightings one particular spirit person stands out in my mind. Curiously, it was not during the course of my work that I met this gentleman but whilst staying at the Carlton Mitre Hotel, which is close to Hampton Court Palace (see page 62).
