What is The Ghost of the Tower London?

The Ghost of the Tower of London is a legend that has persisted for centuries. The story goes that the ghost is the spirit of a young boy named Edward V who was murdered in the tower in 1483. Edward was the son of King Edward IV and was only twelve years old when he and his younger brother Richard were imprisoned in the Tower of London. They were declared illegitimate by their uncle, Richard III, who then assumed the throne. It is believed that Edward and Richard were murdered by their uncle, although the exact details of their deaths remain a mystery.

The ghost of Edward V is said to haunt the White Tower, where he and his brother were held captive. He is often seen as a pale, sad-looking boy, dressed in white robes. He has also been heard crying and moaning, and is said to appear before those who are about to die.

There have been many sightings of the ghost of Edward V over the centuries. In 1671, a sentry on guard at the Tower of London claimed to have seen the ghost of a young boy in white robes, walking along the battlements. In 1864, a group of tourists claimed to have seen a young boy in white robes standing in one of the windows of the White Tower.

Whether or not the ghost of Edward V is real, the story of his tragic death and his haunting of the Tower of London continues to fascinate people to this day.
