English ghost stories

Many of Britain’s ancient castles have ghosts. One of the most famous “haunted castles” in England is actually the Tower of London. During the Tower’s long history, many men and women were thrown into its dark dungeons, or executed outside its gates. _______ the most famous was Lady Jane Grey, Queen of England, who was beheaded outside the Tower on 19th July 1554. Since then, it is said that the ghost of Lady Jane Grey wanders through the rooms and corridors of the Tower of London. This is just one of Britain’s well-known ghosts; but there are lots of ghosts too who aren’t quite as famous.
