One of the ways they managed to sell tickets was by releasing reports of ghost sightings to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was claimed that two of Henry VIII&#8217;s wives &#8211; Jane Seymour and Catherine Howard &#8211; both haunt the palace, as well as Sybil Penn, a servant to four of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/stunning-british-locations-from-cbcs-the-tudors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Tudor Monarchs<\/a>. More recently, security at the Palace caught CCTV footage of a mysterious figure opening and shutting fire doors in the palace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Theatre Royal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This famous <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/7-of-londons-best-theatres\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">theatre on Drury Lane<\/a> is recognised as one of the world&#8217;s most haunted. Supposedly, it is haunted by the ghosts of two different clowns and the mysterious Man in Grey. Dozens of theatre performers testify to having seen the ghostly figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who exactly they are and how they died, however, remains quite the mystery. What is certain is that the stage has seen enough fantastic productions to keep any ghost interested for a few hundred years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brookside Theatre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a cool evening in July when theatre manager Jai Sepple noticed that one of the chairs in the Brookside Theatre hall was askew. Thinking this unusual &#8211; after all, the cleanup for the day&#8217;s performance had already been done &#8211; he checked the CCTV footage of the hall to see whether anyone had been in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What he saw there changed his mind about the paranormal. The cameras had caught several specks of light whizzing around the hall before the chair and nearby table moved completely of their own accord. Spooky stuff. One wonders whether the spirits had heard they were being outsold by the Theatre Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brookside_theatre_entrance.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2348\" style=\"width:522px;height:522px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brookside_theatre_entrance.jpg 600w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brookside_theatre_entrance-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brookside_theatre_entrance-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brookside_theatre_entrance-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bruce Castle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ghost of Bruce Castle is shrouded in both history and mystery. What we know for certain is that famous historian Henry Hare bought and moved into the house sometime in the late 17th century, along with his wife Constantia. What happens next is a confusion of historical fact and legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s said that spurned by jealousy over an affair, Constantia grew enraged and was locked up by her husband in one of the highest rooms in the house. From here, she threw herself from a window holding her child in her arms. It&#8217;s said that on November 3rd every year &#8211; the day of Constantia&#8217;s death &#8211; it&#8217;s possible to see her ghost haunting the grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CfcgNb8K0mt\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
