Pret A Manger, E2

Pret A Manger on Bethnal Green Road has been at the centre of a bizarre haunting. In autumn 2022, two workers reported hearing soft footsteps walking across the floor above, but when they checked the CCTV, there was no one there. It's as if the sound of footsteps was somehow disconnected from a physical presence. The staff were understandably spooked and even attempted to use a Ouija board to contact the entity, but without much success.

House in Westcroft Way, NW2

In a house on Westcroft Way in London's NW2 area, a mischievous poltergeist was said to have caused quite a stir back in the early 1960s. The entity, which was reportedly responsible for hovering furniture and tossing around everyday objects like marbles and milk bottles, was considered more of a nuisance than a malevolent presence by the occupier, Mrs Wright. Despite the chaos it caused, Mrs Wright told journalists that she didnt think the poltergeist was harmful. Two exorcisms were carried out in an attempt to remove the entity, but they unfortunately failed to put an end to the strange occurrences.

Magistrates Court, E1

The Magistrates Court on Aylward Street in London's East End is said to be haunted by the ghost of Lillian Brown, a former employee who still walks the corridors where she worked back in the 1970s. It's a curious case, really - no one seems to know much about Mrs Brown's life or what she did at the court, but her presence has been felt by many over the years. Some say she's a benign spirit, just going about her business as if she's still alive.

House along Bearhind Lane and/or in Old Ford, E3

Bearhind Lane in Old Ford, London, was once the scene of a terrifying encounter between Jane Alsop and a figure who would become infamous in Victorian folklore - Spring Heeled Jack. On the night of 20 February 1838, Alsop opened her front door to what she believed was a policeman, only to find a sinister figure clad in a helmet and tight-fitting white clothing. His eyes seemed to burn with an inner fire and his hands were claw-like. The figure attacked Alsop but her screams alerted her sister, who came to her rescue, and Jack leapt away into the darkness.
