Erected by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, this former political prison and place of
execution has long been viewed as one of the most haunted buildings in the British Isles. Among the
ghosts flitting through the fortress are the spirits of Anne Boleyn, the wife of Henry VIII, who was
beheaded in 1536; Lady Jane Grey, who was spotted by a guardsman on Feb. 12, 1957, on the 403rd
anniversary of her death; and Sir Walter Raleigh. The first ghost allegedly spotted in the building
was Thomas Beckett's, in the 13th century.
