With the countdown to Halloween now under way, I want to begin October with a chiller of a ghostly tale.
Number 50 Berkeley Square has long held the reputation as “the most haunted house in London”, and a legion of terrifying tales come marching out of its dark and sinister past.
But how true are the ghost stories associated with it?
In this video we trace the history of the hauntings from the early 19th century through to the present day.
You will hear of a certain something that has reportedly caused the deaths from fright of anybody who has had the misfortune to encounter it in the darker recesses of the property.
You will read newspaper reports on the house’s reputation, which used to draw curious crowds from locals and visitors to London alike.
And you will gain a full understanding of how these chilling tales evolved over the years, combining fact with fiction, until the two became so blurred as to be indistinguishable.

I never put much store in ghosts and always saw them as a bit of fun. Then years ago I visited Chillingham Castle in Northumberland. It was a beautiful sunny day but from the moment I parked up and my girlfriend and I got out the car, I got a really bad feeling about it. There is a little way to walk to get to the castle and it is horrible. There were these creepy statues of bulls along the walk to the castle. The sun was largely blocked out by the trees making the day seem grey and we kept hearing sounds as if something was crashing through the trees and thumping on the ground, yet there was nothing there. Coming to the clearing where the castle is, I caught a movement in my peripheral vision and looked round only to see a man standing by one of the trees smiling at me. It was not a friendly smile. I pointed him out but he disappeared behind the tree. I walked over to see what he was doing but there was no one there. Freaked me out.

@MsDormy 8 месяцев назад

Chillingham Castle seems to have a most appropriate name…. It does sound as if you had a genuinely supernatural experience though. The older I get, the more I have come to believe Shakespeare’s assertion, that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. God bless you.

@melodyszadkowski5256 8 месяцев назад

I am very glad you included a sighting in your tale. Bothing makes me more skeptical than having someone providing "I constantly felt like I was being watched" as their only evidence of a haunting. You can get that "feeling" anywhere.

@tracywalton4496 8 месяцев назад

I’m not surprised given its dreadful past of torturing people and killing prisoners children several centuries ago.

@VMM34 8 месяцев назад

That sounds like the unnerving experience we had at Chingle Hall, Preston. There were guided tours so everyone queued up on the bridge over the moat. The atmosphere was completely silent and eerie and everyone was jittery. Then a goose honked and several people including myself screamed. I was absolutely terrified although I like ghost accounts and would have loved to have seen a ghost. When we all stood silently in the Mad Girl's Room the atmosphere was horrendous, even though the guide was speaking. Suddenly my 17 year old daughter standing next to me poked me with her elbow and when I turned to her she pointed at her hair. She had very long hair and a section of it was standing out sideways as though someone had hold of it and was raising it up and inspecting it. We looked at eachother in horror and she batted it back down in panic. Once home we told my sister about it and she and her boyfriend, 39, who was mad on photography and would develop his own photos, visited Chingle the next week. The boyfriend took two of his best cameras. When they got inside the cameras wouldn't work. Completely dead. Once outside they worked perfectly, apparently lots of swearing ensued from the boyfriend. Would love to go again but it's a private residence now I think.

Wonderful video. I was fascinated and terrified when I first heard about the Berkley Square Haunting as a child and saw a television drama about it. But as I got older and more cynical I began to read that the evidence was not there to support the claims. But I never knew about that lady's book. Amazing video, really enjoyed it and will advise people to watch.

From 1859 to 1874, a man named Thomas Myers lived at the house. Soon after moving in, he had been jilted by his fiancée on their wedding day. He became a recluse who slept during days and led a solitary existence at nights wandering the house where he had planned to live in happy matrimony. When he died, aged seventy-six, in 1874, the property had fallen into severe disrepair and lay empty for overy fifty years. In the 1920s, a woman attending a new year's eve party in a house at the rear of number 50 saw a pale, elderly man wearing Victorian clothing staring sadly through one of the upper windows. She didn't think he was a ghost because she had never heard of the property's reputation, and she assumed he had returned from a fancy dress ball.

I visited 50 Berkeley Square when it was an antique bookstore. I happened to ask the staff, and owner about the stories, and this is what they told me. "They are just stories, created for the tourists in the Victorian era". "There have been no ghosts or supernatural activity during our occupation of the bookstore, which was from the early 1930s. What you need to think about is if there were deaths at the property as alleged in the stories, there would be reports in the newspapers at the time, there were none, police investigations none can be found, if a crime or incident had taken place at the location, you can guarantee the police would have been involved. Bodies impaled on railings, and nothing documented? In closing, if you would like to visit a real haunted house in London, I would recommend Ham House in Richmond, which has sixteen resident ghosts and is active to this day, apparently. ^^

A animal which has deep fear of something will never just settle. It'll be extremely hard to force an animal which will kick, scratch and even bite in order to escape what it fears. This is why I found it very hard to believe both the cat and dog, especially being able to tie a cat down which will seriously hurt you and run off while you recoil in pain.

I think there's been a lot of embellishments to this story since it first came out.

What a lovely voice and beautiful pronunciation. Funny story which I read about as a teenager in France studying English. I hope the house is family home, full of laughter and the patter of little feet now. As I nurse in the 1990ies I got kicked out of a post in Dalkeith/ Newtongrange for being a disbeliever: the knocker. Yes I used to open the back kitchen window to enquire about the man knocking on the window around 4.30/5am. Persuaded someone was going around terrifying my superstitious patient, and would have called the police to complain too if let alone. I was determine some morning to have a good row with the culprit. Until one day I was told no you can't disbelieve like this....

This is the most extensively researched account of how the house gained it's reputation I have ever read - it's almost overwhelming in it's detail. Thank you for this. It is interesting to note that 'the Illustrated Police News' article (timestamp 17:55) seems to have been the catalyst for other articles and opinions that established the residence as a haunted house. My one critique would be that it is hard to keep track of where each account is coming from. It would be nice to take a breather from each account and give your own opinion on the credibility of these stories. That aside, this made for great listening!

Obviously the amount of Energy flowing in, around and through this house it must have been built on an Energy Vortex where numerous Ley Lines Meet. This effects the minds of the occupants and permits Interdimensional Portals to open and close from time to time allowing Entities to Enter and Exit from this House.

I can see the stories of the house at 50 Berkeley Square influencing the story that you mentioned. I wonder if anyone has done research into old articles from the early Victorian period to see if the stories first popped up in that period. It would be a good starting point to do a search. If the London newspapers reported about Spring-Heeled Jack then it’s likely they talked about it even back then. But that’s just my thought process.

I remember hearing a radio drama about Berkeley Square, it ended with one of two sailors being thrown from the top window, onto the spiked railings below. The two sailors, out for a laugh, break into the house. There's a whore from the local tavern with them, she flees in terror. A great drama it was.

😂I’m also finding it mad that looking down the comment section that a lot of other people have also read the probably the same book when they were at school just like me 😂

And I really wonder if H.P. Lovecraft found some little inspiration from these tales- they struck me as extremely 'Lovecraftian'.
