  Smithfield Market

  This place is far more than a meat market, it’s a setting of grisly executions, ghostly sightings, and unsettling legends.

  St. Bartholomew's Church

  St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, once a medieval refuge for plague victims, was also a place where morbid medical malpractices occurred, so ghost sightings are no surprise.
