St James's Palace, SW1

St James's Palace, a place steeped in history and intrigue, is said to be haunted by the ghosts of two women, Madame de Beauclair and the Duchess of Mazarine. They lived in the palace grounds and made a pact that the first to die would appear to the other.

This eerie prediction came true, with Madame de Beauclair dying at one in the morning. Since then, both women have been seen by various people, including a servant who spotted the Duchess of Mazarine's ghost.
