“I was lying in a coffin in the catacombs beneath London Bridge while a clairvoyant called to thespirits around me to make themselves known. To say this was not a normal Saturday nightwould be to grossly understate the point.”

And so begins, the second of our Halloween specials – a bucket list ghost hunt in the LondonTombs.

When these ancient catacombs were being excavated in 2007, they were found to house theremains of plague victims who had been buried there centuries before. The builders working atthe time reported numerous strange goings on and insisted on working in pairs for fear of beingalone in those dark recesses.

Today, it is purported to be one of the most haunted places in the city and home to manytrapped souls including one particular menace known only as ‘Shadow Man’.Told by host Aaron Millar, this is the story of a paranormal investigation he took part in whileon a Halloween assignment for a UK newspaper. Everything that is told here is true, and notexaggerated. And whether its ghosts, imagination or the power of the mind, things happeneddown there which Aaron, a skeptic, still can’t fully explain.
