New Kent Road, SE16

On a windy night in October 1998, a small park by a bus stop on New Kent Road became the backdrop for a chilling re-enactment of a violent crime. The witness reported hearing a man running and calling out for help along the road, his voice growing more desperate as he ran. The gusts of wind died down, and an unsettling silence fell over the rest of the road, making the voice seem even more isolated. A few moments later, a second disembodied voice seemed to respond, saying that no one could help the runner, followed by the sounds of a person being tackled and a man's terrifying scream.

Bakerloo line, SE17

Deep in the London Underground, on the Bakerloo line, lies a phenomenon that has left many passengers scratching their heads. At Elephant & Castle station, and other stops along the line, some travellers claim to have seen a ghostly reflection. While travelling northbound, they'll catch a glimpse of someone sitting next to them, but when they turn to look, there's no one there. It's as if a spectral commuter has momentarily joined them, only to vanish into thin air.

Imperial War Museum, SE11

The Imperial War Museum in London's SE1 area has a reputation for paranormal activity. This site was once home to the second Bethlem Royal Hospital, which relocated from its original location. During World War II, the Women's Auxiliary Air Force took over the site, and staff reported strange occurrences at night, including ranting and screaming, and the sound of chains being rattled. These unexplained events have continued to be reported over the years, with a security guard more recently hearing shouting and screaming on the site.

Elephant & Castle Station, SE1

Elephant & Castle Station in London is home to a couple of unsettling ghost stories. Footfalls and rapping sounds echo around the Northern Line after it has closed, but when investigated, there's no source to be found. It's as if the station itself is trying to communicate, but what it's trying to say is anyone's guess. Then there's the tale of the lone girl on the Bakerloo Line's last train of the night. She walks from the last carriage to the front, vanishing as she reaches it. Her presence is felt but never seen, leaving passengers and staff with a sense of unease.

Side street by Kennington underground station, SE11

Near Kennington underground station in south London, a chilling incident took place back in 1984. Two employees on a smoking break outside the station, sitting on a wall, were startled to hear a woman sobbing just a few yards away. The sound was unmistakable and sent a shiver down their spines, but there was no one in sight. As the crying moved away, one of the workers followed the sound, which led him down the road and into a side street behind the station, where it abruptly stopped.

Old Vic, SE1

The Old Vic on Waterloo Road has been a hub for theatrical performances for centuries, but it's also home to a rather unsettling ghostly presence. A woman with bloodied hands has been spotted multiple times within the theatre's walls. Her appearance is always marked by a sense of eeriness, and it's little wonder why - those bloodstained hands are a sight to behold. Some believe she was an actress who used fake blood for a Shakespearian play, but that doesn't necessarily explain the fear and unease she inspires in those who see her.
