My grandad speaks at 44 minutes in.He has passed now but love seeing him,hearing him.he wpuld always speak of the ghosts and things he had seen working on the underground.He passed on 🎃 Halloween.His favourite time of the year
Ive had many unexplained phenomena while travelling on the underground. On many occasions, the arrival screen shows 2 minutes until the next train but 10 minutes later.......no train has arrived! Yet there has been no announcement and the screen has not changed!! Also, every 12 months or so, the cost of my ticket goes up considerably.....and yet my pay remains the same....... No one can explain how this happens. It just does.
It's entirely comprised of zero-evidence anecdotes, theatrical language of 'spirits', claims the tube goes through 'numerous burial grounds' which is false.... and for all we know could be filmed entirely using actors. ... But it's "credible", apparently.
oh, really? The way the segments were directed and how the music was used to create these little pauses easily could've been from a modern documentary. Props to the makers :O
My grandad died when I was 5. When I was 18, and living in London, I’d get the tube every morning. One morning I was on the tube, feeling particularly depressed and I looked up to see a man the image of my grandad smiling at me. This was confusing, because 1/ he looked like my grandad and 2/ nobody looked at anyone else on the tube, let alone randomly smiled at anyone else. It happened at Warren Street station, he got off with the crowd and I lost sight of him. I never told anyone about this. A few months later my dad and uncle were talking about him, and mentioned he worked somewhere at Warren Street for many years of his life. Edit - thank you for all the likes :) Yes, I’m aware it may have been someone who looked like him, it’s very possible. I choose to believe it was him, because it’s comforting to think he’s watching over me. We all have our own beliefs and I think that’s part of what makes us all so unique and beautiful. Wishing everyone who sees this a lovely day :)
I travelled on the subway when I was 16/17 years old. On one occasion going upstairs I was stopped by a man who said I bet you don't know the name of the tartan skirt/kilt you are wearing. I told him and he walked away without saying another word. This was in Glasgow in 1968.
LissyLis Loves I'm wonder whether evil ghosts and Devils are mentioned in the bible ,,,I mean , in Quran ,it is mentioned the existence of such unseen creatures ,and as a Muslim ,I do seek help from God to keep them away 😊
This is probably the best documentary on Ghosts that has ever been made. Absolutely compelling. No hype, genuine witnesses. Creepy music. Very well done indeed.
I have seen the original of this and the music was more creepy, for some reason the music in this one is different from the original, I get the feeling royalties were not paid for the use of music that's why it was changed
@Jock Odd Sock I think he's saying there's no evidence for ghosts, in which he's right, there's no evidence to confirm the existence of ghosts,just stories people tell you. Pareidolia however, is very, very real.
When I was a teenager I moved to London and due to a run of bad choices I had to sleep rough for over 2 years and both myself and a fellow homeless guy lived in many of the disused tunnels and service corridors, it was the most peaceful and IMHO the safest place to live in London despite all these stories, I've heard many of these tales before but never saw or heard anything EVER. Occasionally you'd have a few people come down and try to scare us but we just used to make whispering noises (which carried really well) and it would ensure that they never came back.
Bizarrely, I was at the end of watching this when my husband came in from working in London (we live in Essex). He hadn’t seen the beginning of the programme and had no idea about it. This is just something random I chose to watch whilst cooking tea. He said he’d had an eerie feeling on Kennington underground station TODAY !. He was awaiting a train and was alone on the platform. He felt cold and as if someone was close to him and he was being watched, but nobody was there. He uses the underground a lot and has never mentioned anything before. I just had to rewind this to the Kennington Loop part !!!. Very spooky how I was watching this…
synchronicity its like something drew you to watching the documentary ... comparing times when you first saw the doc and decided to watch it with what your other half felt could prove interesting
I remember back in the 90s that a really good series was shown on British TV called 'Ghosthunters'. It was presented by William Woollard . It is a pity that the hysterical Evette Feilding type of nonsense was where the TV treatment of the subject went thereafter.
Great documentary and great tales. For once we see real people, in ordinary working environments, talking about extraordinary events. No loud dramatic music or re-enactments nor narration. Merci.
if this was an american production it would be full of extreme closeups of skeletons and dramatic music with photogenic men and women in their 30s all looking like pamela anderson and jason momoa etc
@Nenethegreat W Gordon Ramseys shows in the UK to the US... night and day... "Hells Kitchen" "Kitchen Nightmares" Ramsey is like a real person in the UK productions but in the US hes a effed up jack in the box effing and blinding "The Office" "The Apprentice" need i go on... american productions lavish a ton of stuff thats not needed like lense flare ala jj abrams... we have straight talking ricky gervais and ramsey, bear grylls taking your telly by storm... ricky gervais is nothing compared to some of the scots we have censored on our tv lol... american productions need their beautiful people on tv
This is one of the best ghost documentaries and Paul McGann was a perfect narrator. Multiple paranormal channels have referred to this program as a source. I wish they'd done more like this. Also love how the modern world and history collide in this manner. The London Underground is something people take for granted every day, but many old burial sites and plague pits and old buildings needed to be disturbed/destroyed to build it. These stories are a reminder of how old London really is.
scariest thing i ever witnessed was a platform full of drunken millwall supporters ready to board while I'm sat there in my Chelsea top.....they didn't do anything to me...just sang songs about how fat and ugly i was
Not the smartest thing I've ever done, watch this just before i'm about to go to bed at 1am at night with high winds and rain lashing against the bedroom window
I was a Station Supervisor at one of the Northern line stations on the Charing Cross branch and after the last train of the night, I'd do a sweep of the platforms before heading back upstairs to lock up the station and book on Contractors for the night. One night, whilst walkiing along a cross passage, I suddenly felt the hairs on the back of my head stand and was overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of terror because I could feel I was being watched by a presence. I was too mortified to turn around and check behind me so I started belting out "Amazing grace" as loudly as I could whilst scampering up the spiral staircase back to the ticket hall. Once at the top, the sense of dread left me just as suddenly. I had been working at this station for a while and had never ever felt any fear during night turns.
That is creepy - the thought of scampering up the spiral staircase with the feeling of something down there. I remember once walking the connection through Bank/Monument after finishing very late at work and there was no-one else there during that walk: nothing happened but it did feel disconcerting doing this long, underground walk with no-one else there and no sound but my footsteps and the air con units - especially compared to how busy and loud it is during the day.
@@jackspring7709 Yeah stations become rather creepy in such moments, it's like some sort of dystopic parallel which exists only a membrane away isn't it? You become acutely aware of your vulnerability and your mind can turn on you. The Covid-19 restrictions were especially disconcerting on the tube. The S-stock trains on the District, Circle and Met lines could sometimes spook the crap out of you late at night; when you might be one of only 3 people on the whole train.
Before the Underground was made,what was there?Only I have been told it was built on graves & Queen Boudicca was mentioned.True or false?Reply much appreciated if u have the time.
@@susanmccormick6022 Well, remember that we have lots of suicide incidents on our stations too. There are stations which carry an aura because of these incidents - some more so than others. Even on the stations I work at, when I do my checks I don't go into "designated rooms" - temporary morgues so to speak. I get creeped out and so do many of my Supervisor colleagues. Of course you never want to overthink these things but you just can't help it. Tube platforms are the theatre of spectacular, sudden and gruesome deaths several times a week.
I understand I’m seeing this video some 16-17 years after it was first released, yet it is perfection as far as ghost programs I’ve seen; and I regularly watch the not-overly-sensationalized ones to this day. The quiet, the softness, perhaps most notably the narrator’s energetic ease; I truly wish there were other’s produced by the same cadre. Yet if any in that cadre have passed on, per a gentle recognition of the subject, may their soul Rest In Peace.
if you haven't seen them already, you might like Robert Hardy's castle ghosts of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales in 4 separate videos. he's obviously a believer, but like this video he doesn't over sensationalise, & does a good job presenting them
Id love to think that while the guy who was trying to disprove the ghosts was talking to camera, that there was half a dozen spirits stood by him listening
If all these photographs and sightings of ghosts aren't spirits of the dead then they're definitely evidence of something. With so many you can't just brush them off, they are definitely something. I remember one such photograph taken decades ago of a couple having their picture taken by a tree. Behind them, clear as a bell is the ghostly image of a woman in a dress running straight towards them with her mouth open and her black empty eyes staring at them with her arms flailing. She looks like she's screaming
its clearly the breeze of trains, they is no rational explanation at to what a purpose of a ghost running round does are they there to scare people why and why when its dark and spooky its all silly.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..
@@smasha9445 Neither the past or the future exists, only the present. And how long does this present moment last for? A second? A nanosecond (as you describe)? When you think about it, the present barely exists. Yet here we are.
I’ve worked on the underground for 30 years & on every line. There are disused stations that the general public never see & some are very creepy. You get used to patrolling on your own & you might walk 3 or 4 thousand metres without seeing anybody else, so it’s important not to allow your mind to play tricks, especially in poorly lit areas. I’ve know a couple of patrolmen that have asked not to be sent to work in certain areas because of experiences they’ve had. This was a good documentary.
I’ve just watched this and really enjoyed it… I truly believe there are ghosts on the underground.. why wouldn’t there be? There’s so much history there
I imagine feeble minds and over-imaginative ones wouldn't last long in your job. There are basic reasons why we would tend to get scared when on our own in such an environment. On the scale of human evolution, we're still basically cavemen, and our brains are hard-wired to be aware of potential dangers (enemy, predators, etc.) that could hide in such places (dark, not easy to escape from, etc). Levelheaded people recognise all this and the rational part of their mind is able to overcome these primitive fears. More impressionable and less educated people think the tunnels are haunted.
@@frontenac5083 Closed minds on pedestals of biased science arrogance are easier to break when they fall, just look at the jibby jab debacle to see that. Real science is driven not by just want of singular answers backed in the main by bribery and smear campaigns but want of unbiased understanding born of listening, reasoning and wider conclusions. Thinking outside the box is what got us here today or would you prefer religious and single-minded dogma? I keep an open mind as I lived with a ghost for 2 years and I'm no simple minded fool which you deem me to be which in mine and majority of others minds show you as the simple minded arrogant one.
@@frontenac5083Oh ghosts exist. When your heart stops beating you will have a shock when you find you still have consciousness and are no longer wedded to your body.
I agree. We're not dealing with someone wearing a tin hat. To be given the responsibility of looking after a train station, you must have demonstrated a good level of competency, experience and attention to detail, which makes them credible witnesses. The guy's theory on infrasound as being a contributing cause seems very far fetched. If that were the case, then millions of passengers/train personnel would be experiencing paranormal activity every day of the week, leading to mass panic and closure of train stations.
Yes, ghosts are much more prevalent than most people realize but its a taboo subject so it just doesn't get talked about. The same with death bed visions. .
CN he isn't Indian, you can tell by his accent. Or maybe you can't...but you can't tell from his appearence, either. It's all just gene variations. Anyway we all know that your claim is false so nuff said. Don't be a troll. If you continue to sound like one, we won't feed you.
The maintenance guy that died in the 50s due to not hearing the train was killed by my mum’s uncle. The maintenance guy was deaf, looked at my mum’s uncle right in the eye apparently. Never got over it.
@@susanmccormick6022 boudicca's body's location is unknown, but is believed by some to be under one of the platforms at king's cross station, but it is also believed that she could be burried under stone henge, Gloucestershire, Norfolk, or london hampstead. No one really knows.
This is such a good documentary! These are just regular people trying to do a job of work or ride the tube. They aren't looking for ghosts. And I continue to deeply admire the attitude of the British when dealing with the supernatural. You lot are so level headed and respectful, and refuse to demonize these spirits. Thank you for that. 🇬🇧💘
@@raidwipe Just because you have had no experience of the supernatural. I lived in a 17th century house, where we had paying guests. When no- one was staying I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and along the hall to the dining room , where the door made a distinctive sound as it closed. A guest said my son ( a toddler then) was standing by his bed wearing a white nightgown. I knew he only wore pyjamas and that it was a supernatural being but I agreed as I didn’t want to lose business.The light in their en suite toilet switched on and off regularly. That room had been the nursery. There are so many incidents but I don’t have the energy to list them all. My family would refuse to sleep on the top floor on visits home from uni. I never saw any ghost or anything but I was aware of presences and I heard so many strange things. It’s 2.27am or I would list more ( many ) similar experiences. I didn’t believe in anything like this until I experienced it myself. One which stands out is when I finished a painting of a boy who’d died in a car accident. It was sitting in the kitchen for his parents to collect - after their long journey. Suddenly the kitchen door exploded in a loud bang. I looked everywhere for the cause , finding nothing. I glanced outside and his parents had arrived. Far , far too many events to be coincidental or imagined. We knew that the house had a reputation for being haunted when we bought it, but, like yourself, didn’t believe.
I've been watching this great documentary for years and when I was passing through a station in East London the other day I happened to be talking to two of the staff there, one of whom worked in Bethnal Green station: she said that place is a hotspot: when she was working late in the office there, an apparition appeared behind her - and one of her colleagues also saw a boy in WW2 clothing curled up and crying at the end of one of the platforms there. I told them about this documentary. The producers have been asked about making a sequel to it but I don't know if one is on the cards.
@@MrBrutal33 Suggest u try internet for that.Often would be short trousers & jersey.Poss a cap.The period is a bit too modern for me.More into crinolines,breeches,hose etc.Some of the fashions were so crazy.Like panniers where u had to walk thru a door sideways sometimes,or hennins & shoes with toes so long u had to tie them around your knees in order to b able to walk.Not keen on the torn jeans look,but hey,to each their own.
I used to be an electrician working undergroung in 2 coal mines in UK over 2000ft deep. I remember feeling uneasy on several occasions its difficult to explain. I was often on my own in miles of empty unlit tunnels with just an electric cap lamp for light doing routine repairs and maintenance. There had been several miners killed there over the years.
There's something inherently spooky about the underground at any time of day or night. Perhaps it's because it's underground, but I don't know. It's as if you can feel all the bygone decades and people there sometimes.
@@nuttyfroot Yes, probably. If it was an Indian underground they'd probably be in there ceremoniously clearing the space - not just the Fluffers at night! If it was in the Middle East, there would have been jinn spotted in the disused tunnels!
That's an outstanding observation! I am really attracted to the underground for that very reason. London has an immense amount of history attached to it, and it is palpable!
I lived in Finsbury Park in a Victorian townhouse which was converted into flats in the 1970s. I love Victorian architecture, so never thought it was spooky or anything like that. But doors used to open by themselves ( the house was subsiding so I thought that’s logical) then the lights used to go out by themselves and lots of people had this weird feeling -myself included - that they were sitting in a crowded family home when they were by themselves. It was a weird place, but I was never scared. I actually felt very at home.
I just want to take a moment to say, thank you Antonio Marques for uploading this documentary. I love that it's so factual, without using jump-scares or other such rubbish that you find in ghost docs today. On top of that, this is a brilliant record of just some of the creepy stories that come out of the London Underground. I watch this often, as part of my supernatural playlist. Thank you for sharing it and keeping it up. :)
Dave England me and my mate went up the stairs because the lifts were dead - it was late and we were alone, pretty creepy experience considering how steep they are, and I’m only 16 so I was shitting myself
I used to work for LU and knew Paul Fisher very well, he told me the story about the worker in the tunnel 20 years ago. It was decidedly spooky. Paul is a very senior head of engineering and a gery serioys man whose job ensures the safety of millions each year.
@Just Mingled what can be seen on the monitor is not always recorded on tape. Monitoring is not the same as recording and I can only imagine the vast volumes of tape that would have been required to record every camera on every underground station across London, simply not possible as there are over fifteen thousand of them just on the underground system. Even today the vast bulk are not recording, only certain cameras in key places will be recording rather than monitoring alone. As for Ghosts themselves, I am a man of science from the age of 4, I grew up in a non religious household and physics was my love from a kid to today. However that did not stop something walking straight through me aged 11, with two dogs that dropped to their forelegs and skowled& snarled as they backed off away from, "it", and a human adult, as witnesses to this thing that made a bee line for me, out front of a normal terraced house in coventry UK, in broad bloody daylight, resulting in me screaming so loud that my mother came bolting out of the house next door to my neighbours where this had happened, because she thought I had been hit by a car. She then had to sit with me for many nights to so I could get to sleep, and stay asleep without waking up screaming. Now I am not saying whatever it was, was a ghost, however I will really say that only an idiot would say there is nothing when such cases are abundant. I am a man in the unfortunate contradiction of understanding the standard model of physics, that precludes energy without form or reason, it simply is not possible according to our understanding of physics, yet, it happened, There are more things in heaven and earth horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Me and my husband missed our last train back to Salisbury from Waterloo station, (12 years ago on a Saturday night, around midnight) it was the London boat show weekend, so ALL BnBs and Hotels were fully booked, luckily at a very last resort, a lovely manager at Waterloo, must of felt very sorry for us and agreed to lock us in Waterloo First aid room when they closed for the night, to kip till 6am when they re-opened the station to let us out... It was the most scary night I have ever experienced! The noises, voices and bangs we heard all night was frightening!!! Plus two of us squeezed on a thin medical bed with no blankets lol but at least we was dry! We will never forget that night!
@@Roadent1241 I read the original post with an accent like in that show 'East Enders', while I read Ra Clarke's response with an Oxford accent. It was sort of amusing, though I get what you're saying.
Probably the best and most intriguing programme i have ever watched.. Why don't the BBC do another investigation in 2023/24 because its very clear that the people love watching things like this ❤
I used to go to a small English cafe called 'Nico's' just outside Bethnal Green station before he retired and rented it out to Starbucks. The toilets were down in the basement - and I remember how disconcerting it was going down there when the lights were busted and I only had my phone to see in front of me: a short while later I was there with my ex and she needed to go to the bathroom but she froze at the top of the stairs and couldn't move: she felt as if there was something down there looking up at her - She couldn't see it but felt it. A few months ago I was talking to some underground staff about this documentary and one of them had been stationed at Bethnal Green - she saw an apparition behind her in the ticket office: and a colleague of her's saw a young boy in WW2 clothing curled up and crying at the end of the platform.
I’ve watched this a few times as well. Genuine spooky stories and investigations with no nonsense. As a another commenter has mentioned already I hope they do make a sequel. 👌🏼
I loved this!! Hearing real tube workers tell about their experiences. It wasn't over-dramatized and it wasn't done with an air of criticism either. Wonderful!
this is probably the most convincing evidence of ghosts I've ever seen. You can tell these people aren't actors, and none of them appear to be lying either
A pearl. I loved watching this so much. Also, I hope you will agree, what this documentary helps reveal is that the London Underground is a weird and beautiful architectural marvel and the people who work there, alive and elswhere, deserve our total respect.
My Dad when he worked for London Transport heard the man on the stairs at the Elephant & Castle. Tge station was closed for the night and he was sitting in the ticket office with another man who said it was a frequent occurrence and thought to be an Edwardian actor. No one ever sees him, just him running up or down the stairs.
@@Liquidreflectivengl the music at 15:23 is really good. gives the vibe of paranormal and "off" perfectly. the swirly humming and sounds depict that feeling very well.
In Japanese and Chinese folklore, spirits of the dead from ancient times can sometimes have no face where a face should be, this is a spiritual concept which tells us according to this lore, that the person you are seeing has been dead for so long, they've forgotten their name or who they were in life.
I used to work in a Chinese Takeaway in Bath when I was 16. My boss Mr. Cheung told me a very similar ghost story about a friend of his who heard a girl crying, sitting next to him in a Hong Kong Cinema. When he turned to ask her if she was ok, he saw she had no face.
I actually Worked with Larry, who, by the time I worked as a guard on the Northern Line, he had been promoted to a 'Duty Manager Trains' job, he was a very level headed person and reliable. Some month's after I had started as a guard on the Northern Line, I was on a train that had to be turned in the Kennington Loop. We had sat there for about fifteen minutes, when I heard the inter connecting doors slamming shut. I looked down the empty train and saw two P Way workers (track maintenance)coming towards me. Almost straight away, the noise of doors being slammed shut stopped about two carriages from where I was. I called the driver on the intercom to ask him where the men had boarded the train, as I had not seen them get on the train. He told me nobody was on the train except myself and the driver. I walked up to the carriage where I had seen the two men, but there was nobody there. When we came out of the tunnel, I watched for the two men but they never left the train at any station.
There are ghosts there so it's not for the faint hearted, one is my son, bless his soul He loved it on the underground,he was very clever so don't worry he won't harm you.just say hi.
When was a child in the 70s my Father had to go and check some electrical work in ST Mary's a disused Underground Station. It was bombed early WW2. He was alone on the platform when out of the corner of his eye he saw a man in a bowler hat. He turned to shout but the man had disappeared. He went up and told the Underground staff and ask who let the man down. He described the man to them and they knew about him...He waits for a train that never comes....
Gosh that’s so sad. You think of them as tortured souls. I’m a sceptic who believes because I once had an experience that cannot be explained and I know it was not my imagination or some delayed cell of my brain catching up with the next cell/channel and creating an illusion something I read trying to understand it all. Only happened once in all my long years... but as clear today as when it happened 16 years or so ago
I saw the imprints of a mans shoes walking in ballast on the underground from a station platform once , probably a ghost of one of the workers that died over the years. Nothing surprises me about the London Underground.
As a filmmaker I have to say the cinematography here is fantastic. Props to the DP. I love the factual approach and lack of gimmickery. I'll be watching this one again.
Leave it to the British to make a documentary about hauntings that's absolutely frightening yet riveting but NOT resort to petty parlor tricks and sensationalism to do so.
I worked on the underground in 1993-2001 Lots of scary things happened. I once saw hundreds of people waiting for a train all dressed in old fashioned cloths. I assumed it was an event on until I realised the underground was shut and only skeleton staff remained working. I told colleagues and no one believed me.
i totally believe you mate. Is it okay in the future to interview yours truely? Because me and my friends on making doing a documentary on Paranormal London.
@@freelanceart1019 a more alarming story was when I caught a man dressed in a suit with a brief case locking a padlock and walking away from a service door. I immediate shouted hey.. he turned and ran off, cctv was patchy back in late 90s early 00s, and I lost him. We then returned with keys and the key didn’t work. We forced lock open and found a complete apartment developed within a couple large rooms. He managed to have disposable toilets, TVs washing facilities, power, the works. We believe he set up his home when maintenance was going on. It was absolutely bizarre ! When I say he had a complete apartment, even the walls had wall paper on, carpet on the floor the works. Even evidence of other people living there there. Also don’t forget the dozens of decommissioned lines which have harrowing screams coming from. Often workers would go to investigate but no one ever found anything. After a few years you simply learn to avoid these voices etc
@@freelanceart1019 I think you should also check out this other guy on UA-cam. I’ve become obsessed with his content. Essentially a haunted house in. Roth of England with a 37 year old man called Lee who films spirits in his house. It’s absolutely fascinating .. I have reached out to him but had no success. I will drop you a message later from my iPad (another account) and link you his channel. I would gladly finance a trip to his house if he consents. It would be a remarkable documentary if the production quality was top top. (Which I’m sure it would be)
@@jamietaylor7748 thank you for replying to my comment, UA-cam didn't alert me to your reply. I deeply appreciate your generosity, regarding the recommendation of the North of England haunted house, he is 37 years old man he would be wise! It would be great if both us could find a suitable time for to do an interview with him! On the oth Alarming account about the Suitcase guy back in the 90s you were working at which station was it? So this person locked himself in behind the service room? So strange fully furnished apartment-room appearing out of nowhere😬. The mysterious character and the door way sounds like a *portal to another world* I am so fascinated by your description of the *mysterious interloper* but I am skeptical are you sure it was just One person, and the suitcase person had no dopplegangers'? There was a similar incident I heard from my Aunt, she worked and lived in Japan most her life, and she met a mysterious interloper from Tokyo international Airport back in 1998, who was asking for directions to a terminal, the westerner spoke to him in Perfect Japanese, told her that her passport and stamped documents were rejected by the *passport security*, she told me the person was wearing all blue with a trenchcoat, and had a pretrified look, had a large rectangular briefcase with G letter, he left the corner and he disappeared in the waiting room at the airport.
I had quite the experience a few months ago, I was in bank station with my boyfriend he was to the left of me and there was a lady to the right of me. both me and the lady shivered at the same time, I have never felt so cold in my life, We both looked at each other and laughed it off. Beside my boyfriend was a man probs in his late 50's he was a foot or two in front, who turned to look at us when we were laughing turned his head back round and instantly faced us again in shock. We asked the man if he was ok and honestly he looked terrified and he swore he saw a shadow in the middle of us. Honestly I've never seen someone so terrified.He actually left the station. I don't really believe in these sort of things but my god that was a moment i'll never forget.
Great documentary, reminiscent of the 2004 movie “Creep” with Franka Potente. I’m a Londoner by birth myself and have always felt a strong emotional connection to the city. London has a history and charisma like no other city, and a poignant, eerie, fascinating quality. Interesting the infrasound explanation for these unsettling experiences.
London and New York are former shadows of themselves I’m sorry to say, it’s a major culture change. The city’s brought us music And fashion character and attitude, from SKA to Hip-Hop, from Black Sabbath to Yaz from that girl to Benny hill on TV from Knee high boots to doc martins from the paradise garage to the ministry of sound. Now Gentrification is the new culture for both city’s. They don’t feel the same.
The first time I saw this was the first night I arrived in London from Texas in September 2010. I was staying in a dump called Earl's Court Gardens and my room overlooked the tube tracks. Every time a train came by the tv would flicker off and on and the room would shake. It really added to the whole experience. I've rewatched it so many, many times. Absolutely one of the best. Thank you for uploading it.
Omg!!! My darling grandmother told me that, when I was a child!!! I told her that, I was afraid of the dead and she told me just what you said!!! Thank you for the happy memory. Wishing you a happy new year. Much love from me, in Ireland xx
My fiancé thinks that he saw William Terriss in Covent Garden station several years ago. He was surprised to see someone in period dress (which looked very authentic and not like a costume - he mentioned the detailed stitching and quality of the clothes). He stood right next to my fiancé in the lift, but when he mentioned it to the person he was with after they had stepped out of the lift, they hadn't seen/noticed him. My fiancé said while watching this, "But there's only one thing that was different - he had a moustache", and in the photo used in this documentary he doesn't have one. So I Googled William Terriss and he did indeed sometimes have a moustache. I showed the picture to Dominic and he said that was who he saw. Make of that what you will!
Just watched a short interview with comedian Jason Manford. He thinks his daughter saw William Terriss standing behind him in a dressing room whilst he was talking to her online!! Think he has been seen around Covent Garden and the theatre quite a few times. Spooky!!
@@2760ade Yes, we saw/heard this somewhere the other week too! I think it might have been on the Uncanny podcast? It's crazy if that is who my fiancé saw! He's absolutely adamant that William Terriss was as real and 'solid' as if he was looking at a real person. It's intriguing for sure!
I watched another Paranormal t.v. show where they explained how William Terriss died. He was stabbed to death by another actor in a brawl & at the trial it was discovered that the offender was mentally insane. He was confined to a mental asylum for the rest of his life. It is also said that Covent Garden is not the only place that William Terriss haunts. He also haunts the stretch of road between the station & the theatre where he had his employment in life, he also haunts the dressing room his girlfriend once used.
Terriss was stabbed by a down-on-his-luck actor whom Terriss had frequently helped with money and by securing small roles for him. The man stabbed him on the threshold of the actor's entrance. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. 😮😢
I believe there is an energy which we haven't been able to detect and harness yet. Ghosts are a manifestation of it, in the same way lightning is a manifestation of what we call electricity.
I agree James, I’m a bit psychic. Ive noticed they are not too happy about the new 5g lampposts and nodes springing up everywhere. I’m not sure, I think they can use the track to improve underground WiFi. I will be passing though London next week. I will be walking rather than using the tube, as I seem to attract spirits. If any one who works for the underground watches this.. Please shout down the track. Your shift is over ! Some people die so quick they don’t know they are dead. The energy in London is a grid in its self. They should open up the blocked up dead train tunnel or leave a hole in it, at least. The Monks are protectors, they know everything. I tried helping a couple of spirt monks to move forward. I thought they were trapped in a cellar at the union cross, Halifax uk. They appreciated my gesture and thanked me. But they had to stay… When I have a pint or two, i often tap on the floor( above the cellar ) a secret knock. I always get a two knocks back.. I believe the monks are mostly Druids. The Druids were wiped out by the Romans ( Vatican), there story have been deleted from history… The bible was then wrote. I live in the valley we’re it all started. The garden of Eden is hidden in a public place. Shidben park. Cunnery woods to be exact. The first house that folded.. Re built in the south = the Hx minster. ( after the floods ) 900 years ago. The water course went in four directions. Before the great flood, Halifax was already under water. Hence the seven kingdom’s., Sorry..!! Went a bit of track..= Pardon the pun Look at how they describe getting here. ( beacon hill) It’s not rivers and continents… It’s valleys and streams.. Even the missing river is there. I’m guessing this is why I attract them. Even Hell is there.. it heated the clay pools. (the underground furnace) ie the Whitaker pit. ( history being changed ) Calderdale council are still trying to hide the truth.. Serpent lane was changed to Radcliffe drive last year.. Which leads you to the rock alter.. Oh and I was told as a kid that the hills were a very old calendar. Enoch describes-that too.. Never be afraid of spirits. If you can help any move on after being trapped, you will have a freind for eternity. A
James, do you realise that you've just created an unfalsifiable argument? When people have to resort to doing that it usually means their argument unfortunately isn't worth a damn. At most you have an hypothesis and regrettably not an original one. Philosophically where there are gaps in our knowledge there is always a greater than zero % chance something might be possible but just because something is philosophically possible doesn't make it plausible.

I remember watching this when it first aired on TV and was blown away by how it was put together. I wish (channel 4 or ITV I cant remember which one it was) would do more in this exact set up. I must have watched this 1000 times and just don't get tired of it.
I was on the Bakerloo line once, was alone in the carriage. All of a sudden I got this feeling like I wasn't alone...and then I heard loud footsteps run at me across the carriage, and a loud voice scream in my ear "get out!". I never saw anyone, but I knew 100% that it was a ghost, and it was terrifying.
This was an excellent production from camera work to the interviews and exceptional music dealing with a subject matter in a sophisticated and thought-provoking way. Far cry from any of our presentations here in the States which usually consists of a fat tattooed supposed psychic dithering about energies, orbs, sage and demons. Bravo to this crew and their participants.
It's not just London though... it's the Subway in NYC and the Metro in my native Newcastle as well. I always get uncomfortable, dodgy, "haunted" feelings in every station
@@emmahealy4863 The low frequency sounds mentioned in this are pretty common in tunnels which is why most metro systems tend to give people the chills as it were.

Just pop in the station to do a big shop haha!
To me, this old 2005 documentary is much more unnerving than to watch a ghost hunter crew attempt to gather evidence. Nothing quite like hearing a good ol' ghost story.

Learning about the Bethnal Green disaster left a very horrific feeling. There's something very unsettling about the lady of the Bank Station (Sarah Whitehead?) returning to the very same place where her brother died, each day since the early 19th century.
looking at bethnal green station it still looks very hunted to this day. there is always a massive number of homeless, drugs addict and all sorts. Last year I saw a young girl, maybe 10 years old, begging for money. i couldn`t believe my eyes!
There's a full-length documentary on the Bethnal Green Tube disaster, split into three parts ua-cam.com/video/g1rHOzcGNrQ/v-deo.html It's shocking that this disaster was entirely caused by "friendly fire", and shocking that they managed to hush it up for so long

I used to travel home from Liverpool to Moreton on the Wirral, always the last train 23:25 in 72 to 1977. Many a time I would be on the platform of the Liverpool underground James St. station on my own. Such a strange feeling of loneliness and fear. I was only 17 in 72 but it would give me goosebumps at times. Getting on an empty train, the doors flying open at stations and nobody getting on. I used to be on edge at Bidston station, it was in the middle of nowhere, the doors open and all you could see was the marsh behind the platform if the moon was out. I miss them times, very unique.
Watched this loads of times, it is well made and much better than the crappy ghost programs you normally get. Had enough paranormal experiences myself to know its not infra-sound...!
Hey, you never know! Also some people experience ghosts differently, although some people in a group might experience the same thing. I also totally agree with you, this is expertly well made. Although every time I hear the end parts, I feel that it’s not as good as the start.

My grandad died when I was 5. When I was 18, and living in London, I’d get the tube every morning. One morning I was on the tube, feeling particularly depressed and I looked up to see a man the image of my grandad smiling at me. This was confusing, because 1/ he looked like my grandad and 2/ nobody looked at anyone else on the tube, let alone randomly smiled at anyone else. It happened at Warren Street station, he got off with the crowd and I lost sight of him. I never told anyone about this.
A few months later my dad and uncle were talking about him, and mentioned he worked somewhere at Warren Street for many years of his life.
Edit - thank you for all the likes :) Yes, I’m aware it may have been someone who looked like him, it’s very possible. I choose to believe it was him, because it’s comforting to think he’s watching over me. We all have our own beliefs and I think that’s part of what makes us all so unique and beautiful. Wishing everyone who sees this a lovely day :)
I travelled on the subway when I was 16/17 years old. On one occasion going upstairs I was stopped by a man who said I bet you don't know the name of the tartan skirt/kilt you are wearing. I told him and he walked away without saying another word. This was in Glasgow in 1968.

Adam Amisare I wouldn’t know about the bible. But I do believe in ghosts. I think like us humans, some will be bad and some good.
This is probably the best documentary on Ghosts that has ever been made. Absolutely compelling. No hype, genuine witnesses. Creepy music. Very well done indeed.
@Just Mingled what are you on about lad?
I have seen the original of this and the music was more creepy, for some reason the music in this one is different from the original, I get the feeling royalties were not paid for the use of music that's why it was changed
@Jock Odd Sock I think he's saying there's no evidence for ghosts, in which he's right, there's no evidence to confirm the existence of ghosts,just stories people tell you. Pareidolia however, is very, very real.
@Just Mingled I've seen so many cams in London underground stations
The lack of actual ghost footage didn't bother you?
When I was a teenager I moved to London and due to a run of bad choices I had to sleep rough for over 2 years and both myself and a fellow homeless guy lived in many of the disused tunnels and service corridors, it was the most peaceful and IMHO the safest place to live in London despite all these stories, I've heard many of these tales before but never saw or heard anything EVER. Occasionally you'd have a few people come down and try to scare us but we just used to make whispering noises (which carried really well) and it would ensure that they never came back.
hope you’re doing better now
Haha like whispering noises to make them think it was a ghost?
I always thought a lot of these could have been homeless people? What do you think?
Bizarrely, I was at the end of watching this when my husband came in from working in London (we live in Essex). He hadn’t seen the beginning of the programme and had no idea about it. This is just something random I chose to watch whilst cooking tea.
He said he’d had an eerie feeling on Kennington underground station TODAY !. He was awaiting a train and was alone on the platform. He felt cold and as if someone was close to him and he was being watched, but nobody was there. He uses the underground a lot and has never mentioned anything before.
I just had to rewind this to the Kennington Loop part !!!. Very spooky how I was watching this…

The London Underground is something people take for granted every day, but many old burial sites and plague pits and old buildings needed to be disturbed/destroyed to build it. These stories are a reminder of how old London really is.

Same here Birmingham
I was a Station Supervisor at one of the Northern line stations on the Charing Cross branch and after the last train of the night, I'd do a sweep of the platforms before heading back upstairs to lock up the station and book on Contractors for the night. One night, whilst walkiing along a cross passage, I suddenly felt the hairs on the back of my head stand and was overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of terror because I could feel I was being watched by a presence. I was too mortified to turn around and check behind me so I started belting out "Amazing grace" as loudly as I could whilst scampering up the spiral staircase back to the ticket hall. Once at the top, the sense of dread left me just as suddenly. I had been working at this station for a while and had never ever felt any fear during night turns.
i often go for the scare with singing tactic. i wouldn’t have the guts to belt out knees up mother brown 🤣
That is creepy - the thought of scampering up the spiral staircase with the feeling of something down there. I remember once walking the connection through Bank/Monument after finishing very late at work and there was no-one else there during that walk: nothing happened but it did feel disconcerting doing this long, underground walk with no-one else there and no sound but my footsteps and the air con units - especially compared to how busy and loud it is during the day.
@@jackspring7709 Yeah stations become rather creepy in such moments, it's like some sort of dystopic parallel which exists only a membrane away isn't it? You become acutely aware of your vulnerability and your mind can turn on you. The Covid-19 restrictions were especially disconcerting on the tube. The S-stock trains on the District, Circle and Met lines could sometimes spook the crap out of you late at night; when you might be one of only 3 people on the whole train.

@@susanmccormick6022 Well, remember that we have lots of suicide incidents on our stations too. There are stations which carry an aura because of these incidents - some more so than others. Even on the stations I work at, when I do my checks I don't go into "designated rooms" - temporary morgues so to speak. I get creeped out and so do many of my Supervisor colleagues. Of course you never want to overthink these things but you just can't help it. Tube platforms are the theatre of spectacular, sudden and gruesome deaths several times a week.
I understand I’m seeing this video some 16-17 years after it was first released, yet it is perfection as far as ghost programs I’ve seen; and I regularly watch the not-overly-sensationalized ones to this day. The quiet, the softness, perhaps most notably the narrator’s energetic ease; I truly wish there were other’s produced by the same cadre. Yet if any in that cadre have passed on, per a gentle recognition of the subject, may their soul Rest In Peace.
if you haven't seen them already, you might like Robert Hardy's castle ghosts of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales in 4 separate videos. he's obviously a believer, but like this video he doesn't over sensationalise, & does a good job presenting them

If all these photographs and sightings of ghosts aren't spirits of the dead then they're definitely evidence of something. With so many you can't just brush them off, they are definitely something.

Behind them, clear as a bell is the ghostly image of a woman in a dress running straight towards them with her mouth open and her black empty eyes staring at them with her arms flailing. She looks like she's screaming

I’ve worked on the underground for 30 years & on every line. There are disused stations that the general public never see & some are very creepy. You get used to patrolling on your own & you might walk 3 or 4 thousand metres without seeing anybody else, so it’s important not to allow your mind to play tricks, especially in poorly lit areas. I’ve know a couple of patrolmen that have asked not to be sent to work in certain areas because of experiences they’ve had. This was a good documentary.
I’ve just watched this and really enjoyed it… I truly believe there are ghosts on the underground.. why wouldn’t there be? There’s so much history there
There wouldn't be ghosts in the Underground because ghosts don't exist.
Which is a pretty compelling reason. @@janedonnelly
I imagine feeble minds and over-imaginative ones wouldn't last long in your job.
There are basic reasons why we would tend to get scared when on our own in such an environment.
On the scale of human evolution, we're still basically cavemen, and our brains are hard-wired to be aware of potential dangers (enemy, predators, etc.) that could hide in such places (dark, not easy to escape from, etc).
Levelheaded people recognise all this and the rational part of their mind is able to overcome these primitive fears. More impressionable and less educated people think the tunnels are haunted.

I agree. We're not dealing with someone wearing a tin hat. To be given the responsibility of looking after a train station, you must have demonstrated a good level of competency, experience and attention to detail, which makes them credible witnesses. The guy's theory on infrasound as being a contributing cause seems very far fetched. If that were the case, then millions of passengers/train personnel would be experiencing paranormal activity every day of the week, leading to mass panic and closure of train stations.
Yes, ghosts are much more prevalent than most people realize but its a taboo subject so it just doesn't get talked about. The same with death bed visions. .

I didn’t believe in anything like this until I experienced it myself. One which stands out is when I finished a painting of a boy who’d died in a car accident. It was sitting in the kitchen for his parents to collect - after their long journey. Suddenly the kitchen door exploded in a loud bang. I looked everywhere for the cause , finding nothing. I glanced outside and his parents had arrived. Far , far too many events to be coincidental or imagined.
We knew that the house had a reputation for being haunted when we bought it, but, like yourself, didn’t believe.

I've been watching this great documentary for years and when I was passing through a station in East London the other day I happened to be talking to two of the staff there, one of whom worked in Bethnal Green station: she said that place is a hotspot: when she was working late in the office there, an apparition appeared behind her - and one of her colleagues also saw a boy in WW2 clothing curled up and crying at the end of one of the platforms there. I told them about this documentary. The producers have been asked about making a sequel to it but I don't know if one is on the cards.
Poor kid.I hope he can be helped.
@@susanmccormick6022 That's what I was thinking. Kind of heart wrenching to hear when she was telling me about that.
That doesn't surprise me when you think of how many were killed by the Luftwaffe.
What does WW2 clothing look like exactly?
@@MrBrutal33 Suggest u try internet for that.Often would be short trousers & jersey.Poss a cap.The period is a bit too modern for me.More into crinolines,breeches,hose etc.Some of the fashions were so crazy.Like panniers where u had to walk thru a door sideways sometimes,or hennins & shoes with toes so long u had to tie them around your knees in order to b able to walk.Not keen on the torn jeans look,but hey,to each their own.
I used to be an electrician working undergroung in 2 coal mines in UK over 2000ft deep. I remember feeling uneasy on several occasions its difficult to explain. I was often on my own in miles of empty unlit tunnels with just an electric cap lamp for light doing routine repairs and maintenance. There had been several miners killed there over the years.
You've gotta have some balls of STEEL to be workin' in a HELLHOLE like that...
Well this wins the youtube algorithm today! Fantastic program. Can’t believe it’s taken 16 years to find me :-)
There's something inherently spooky about the underground at any time of day or night. Perhaps it's because it's underground, but I don't know. It's as if you can feel all the bygone decades and people there sometimes.
Haunting!
The millions of people who have walked through those tunnels over the decades who are now long dead
Loads of trapped, stagnant energy.
@@nuttyfroot Yes, probably. If it was an Indian underground they'd probably be in there ceremoniously clearing the space - not just the Fluffers at night! If it was in the Middle East, there would have been jinn spotted in the disused tunnels!
That's an outstanding observation! I am really attracted to the underground for that very reason. London has an immense amount of history attached to it, and it is palpable!
I lived in Finsbury Park in a Victorian townhouse which was converted into flats in the 1970s. I love Victorian architecture, so never thought it was spooky or anything like that. But doors used to open by themselves ( the house was subsiding so I thought that’s logical) then the lights used to go out by themselves and lots of people had this weird feeling -myself included - that they were sitting in a crowded family home when they were by themselves. It was a weird place, but I was never scared. I actually felt very at home.
I just want to take a moment to say, thank you Antonio Marques for uploading this documentary. I love that it's so factual, without using jump-scares or other such rubbish that you find in ghost docs today. On top of that, this is a brilliant record of just some of the creepy stories that come out of the London Underground. I watch this often, as part of my supernatural playlist. Thank you for sharing it and keeping it up. :)
I must say when I’m traveling through some of the older stations I do get a real feeling of unease,
I find covent garden station always creeps me out a bjt
@@LetoEchelon097 Try the stairs. Pretty fucking weird feeling there.
Camden station freaks me out...
Dave England me and my mate went up the stairs because the lifts were dead - it was late and we were alone, pretty creepy experience considering how steep they are, and I’m only 16 so I was shitting myself
I had those feelings on Earls court underground station
has anyone seen my white overalls
I think i left them at liverpool st?

Brian Eavis what colour..brown? Yikes
Yes theres a yellow stain on the front of them
What were you doing there at 2 o’clock in the morning
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I used to work for LU and knew Paul Fisher very well, he told me the story about the worker in the tunnel 20 years ago. It was decidedly spooky. Paul is a very senior head of engineering and a gery serioys man whose job ensures the safety of millions each year.
I'm watching this again 3 years later and it still gives me chills.
I don’t even believe in any of this stuff but it’s told and narrated very well
This film is a masterpiece! The music, the filming, the narrator's voice and the editing - just brilliant. Oh - and scary!
Paul Mcann is he narrator...lovely tone.
@@beeboppbaby the 8th doctor, absolute mad lad
Im guessing your not in the uk , this is like standard quality broadcasting
and the ending caption topped it off
@Just Mingled what can be seen on the monitor is not always recorded on tape. Monitoring is not the same as recording and I can only imagine the vast volumes of tape that would have been required to record every camera on every underground station across London, simply not possible as there are over fifteen thousand of them just on the underground system. Even today the vast bulk are not recording, only certain cameras in key places will be recording rather than monitoring alone.
As for Ghosts themselves, I am a man of science from the age of 4, I grew up in a non religious household and physics was my love from a kid to today. However that did not stop something walking straight through me aged 11, with two dogs that dropped to their forelegs and skowled& snarled as they backed off away from, "it", and a human adult, as witnesses to this thing that made a bee line for me, out front of a normal terraced house in coventry UK, in broad bloody daylight, resulting in me screaming so loud that my mother came bolting out of the house next door to my neighbours where this had happened, because she thought I had been hit by a car. She then had to sit with me for many nights to so I could get to sleep, and stay asleep without waking up screaming.
Now I am not saying whatever it was, was a ghost, however I will really say that only an idiot would say there is nothing when such cases are abundant. I am a man in the unfortunate contradiction of understanding the standard model of physics, that precludes energy without form or reason, it simply is not possible according to our understanding of physics,
yet, it happened,
There are more things in heaven and earth horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Me and my husband missed our last train back to Salisbury from Waterloo station, (12 years ago on a Saturday night, around midnight) it was the London boat show weekend, so ALL BnBs and Hotels were fully booked, luckily at a very last resort, a lovely manager at Waterloo, must of felt very sorry for us and agreed to lock us in Waterloo First aid room when they closed for the night, to kip till 6am when they re-opened the station to let us out... It was the most scary night I have ever experienced! The noises, voices and bangs we heard all night was frightening!!! Plus two of us squeezed on a thin medical bed with no blankets lol but at least we was dry! We will never forget that night!

Probably the best and most intriguing programme i have ever watched.. Why don't the BBC do another investigation in 2023/24 because its very clear that the people love watching things like this ❤
It wasn't a BBC documentary. It was a channel 5 production.
Bethnall Green piece sends shivers up my spine….the honesty at which he tells the story is very compelling.
Mind telling us why?
I used to go to a small English cafe called 'Nico's' just outside Bethnal Green station before he retired and rented it out to Starbucks. The toilets were down in the basement - and I remember how disconcerting it was going down there when the lights were busted and I only had my phone to see in front of me: a short while later I was there with my ex and she needed to go to the bathroom but she froze at the top of the stairs and couldn't move: she felt as if there was something down there looking up at her - She couldn't see it but felt it. A few months ago I was talking to some underground staff about this documentary and one of them had been stationed at Bethnal Green - she saw an apparition behind her in the ticket office: and a colleague of her's saw a young boy in WW2 clothing curled up and crying at the end of the platform.
Must have watched this like 5 times? Always love coming back to it every year or so always a good spook
It’s a fab programme. Very entertaining. I used the underground a lot before lockdown. Watched a lot of youtube during this difficult time.
I’ve watched this a few times as well. Genuine spooky stories and investigations with no nonsense. As a another commenter has mentioned already I hope they do make a sequel. 👌🏼
Spooky wooky!
@Colm Deasy tv is shite now
Colm Deasy You’re clearly a narrow minded pea brained idiot.
I loved this!! Hearing real tube workers tell about their experiences. It wasn't over-dramatized and it wasn't done with an air of criticism either. Wonderful!
this is probably the most convincing evidence of ghosts I've ever seen. You can tell these people aren't actors, and none of them appear to be lying either
44 minutes in is my grandad.far from a professional actor and to add he passed on Halloween 🎃
@@loc5085 I'm sorry for your loss.
A pearl. I loved watching this so much.
Also, I hope you will agree, what this documentary helps reveal is that the London Underground is a weird and beautiful architectural marvel and the people who work there, alive and elswhere, deserve our total respect.
I can't imagine walking alone through those tunnels 😨
I can. It would be fun.
jogaryxx sausage : You wanna try it. Really!
Nothing would get me to walk those tunnels.
why? i would
Would probably be an amazing experience!
My Dad when he worked for London Transport heard the man on the stairs at the Elephant & Castle. Tge station was closed for the night and he was sitting in the ticket office with another man who said it was a frequent occurrence and thought to be an Edwardian actor. No one ever sees him, just him running up or down the stairs.
How do they know it's a "him" if they've never seen it?
Great documentary. No nonsense, no over dramatisation, and great narration by Paul McGann.
Can't believe I didn't realise he was the narrator.
@@AlchemistOfNirnroot Me nither
It was even better before they replaced the soundtrack. I'm guessing for copyright reasons.
@@Liquidreflectivengl the music at 15:23 is really good. gives the vibe of paranormal and "off" perfectly. the swirly humming and sounds depict that feeling very well.
In Japanese and Chinese folklore, spirits of the dead from ancient times can sometimes have no face where a face should be, this is a spiritual concept which tells us according to this lore, that the person you are seeing has been dead for so long, they've forgotten their name or who they were in life.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing cool detail:o
Wow
I used to work in a Chinese Takeaway in Bath when I was 16. My boss Mr. Cheung told me a very similar ghost story about a friend of his who heard a girl crying, sitting next to him in a Hong Kong Cinema. When he turned to ask her if she was ok, he saw she had no face.
Fuck, for some reason the thought of that terrifies the shit out of me
Wow that’s so sad
I actually Worked with Larry, who, by the time I worked as a guard on the Northern Line, he had been promoted to a 'Duty Manager Trains' job, he was a very level headed person and reliable.
Some month's after I had started as a guard on the Northern Line, I was on a train that had to be turned in the Kennington Loop. We had sat there for about fifteen minutes, when I heard the inter connecting doors slamming shut. I looked down the empty train and saw two P Way workers (track maintenance)coming towards me. Almost straight away, the noise of doors being slammed shut stopped about two carriages from where I was. I called the driver on the intercom to ask him where the men had boarded the train, as I had not seen them get on the train. He told me nobody was on the train except myself and the driver.
I walked up to the carriage where I had seen the two men, but there was nobody there.
When we came out of the tunnel, I watched for the two men but they never left the train at any station.
Oh wow very spooky so you may well have seen a ghosts too!
2 ghosts typo!
There are ghosts there so it's not for the faint hearted, one is my son, bless his soul
He loved it on the underground,he was very clever so don't worry he won't harm you.just say hi.
@@user-xl3pi3yw5zwho was your son? Did he work there?
This is scarier than any horror movie because of how real it is
THIS THIS is the type of paranormal doc I’ve been looking for!! It’s so well made and not over dramatic- genuinely spooky and eerie
When was a child in the 70s my Father had to go and check some electrical work in ST Mary's a disused Underground Station. It was bombed early WW2. He was alone on the platform when out of the corner of his eye he saw a man in a bowler hat. He turned to shout but the man had disappeared. He went up and told the Underground staff and ask who let the man down. He described the man to them and they knew about him...He waits for a train that never comes....
Gosh that’s so sad. You think of them as tortured souls. I’m a sceptic who believes because I once had an experience that cannot be explained and I know it was not my imagination or some delayed cell of my brain catching up with the next cell/channel and creating an illusion something I read trying to understand it all. Only happened once in all my long years... but as clear today as when it happened 16 years or so ago
Victoria Gadd I can relate. I had a similar experience with the unexplained, only once in my life.
@@victoriagadd6831 Can you pls elaborate, would just like to know if you are fine with sharing !
I saw the imprints of a mans shoes walking in ballast on the underground from a station platform once , probably a ghost of one of the workers that died over the years. Nothing surprises me about the London Underground.
So sad. 😞
I had a frightening experience on the underground the other day. The prices had gone up again!
Lol

As a filmmaker I have to say the cinematography here is fantastic. Props to the DP. I love the factual approach and lack of gimmickery. I'll be watching this one again.
Leave it to the British to make a documentary about hauntings that's absolutely frightening yet riveting but NOT resort to petty parlor tricks and sensationalism to do so.
We do things with class and quality.

I worked on the underground in 1993-2001
Lots of scary things happened.
I once saw hundreds of people waiting for a train all dressed in old fashioned cloths.
I assumed it was an event on until I realised the underground was shut and only skeleton staff remained working.
I told colleagues and no one believed me.
i totally believe you mate. Is it okay in the future to interview yours truely? Because me and my friends on making doing a documentary on Paranormal London.
@@freelanceart1019 a more alarming story was when I caught a man dressed in a suit with a brief case locking a padlock and walking away from a service door. I immediate shouted hey.. he turned and ran off, cctv was patchy back in late 90s early 00s, and I lost him.
We then returned with keys and the key didn’t work.
We forced lock open and found a complete apartment developed within a couple large rooms.
He managed to have disposable toilets, TVs washing facilities, power, the works.
We believe he set up his home when maintenance was going on.
It was absolutely bizarre !
When I say he had a complete apartment, even the walls had wall paper on, carpet on the floor the works.
Even evidence of other people living there there.
Also don’t forget the dozens of decommissioned lines which have harrowing screams coming from. Often workers would go to investigate but no one ever found anything.
After a few years you simply learn to avoid these voices etc
@@freelanceart1019 I think you should also check out this other guy on UA-cam. I’ve become obsessed with his content. Essentially a haunted house in. Roth of England with a 37 year old man called Lee who films spirits in his house. It’s absolutely fascinating .. I have reached out to him but had no success. I will drop you a message later from my iPad (another account) and link you his channel.
I would gladly finance a trip to his house if he consents. It would be a remarkable documentary if the production quality was top top. (Which I’m sure it would be)
@@jamietaylor7748 thank you for replying to my comment, UA-cam didn't alert me to your reply. I deeply appreciate your generosity, regarding the recommendation of the North of England haunted house, he is 37 years old man he would be wise!

On the oth Alarming account about the Suitcase guy back in the 90s you were working at which station was it? So this person locked himself in behind the service room? So strange fully furnished apartment-room appearing out of nowhere😬. The mysterious character and the door way sounds like a *portal to another world* I am so fascinated by your description of the *mysterious interloper* but I am skeptical are you sure it was just One person, and the suitcase person had no dopplegangers'? There was a similar incident I heard from my Aunt, she worked and lived in Japan most her life, and she met a mysterious interloper from Tokyo international Airport back in 1998, who was asking for directions to a terminal, the westerner spoke to him in Perfect Japanese, told her that her passport and stamped documents were rejected by the *passport security*, she told me the person was wearing all blue with a trenchcoat, and had a pretrified look, had a large rectangular briefcase with G letter, he left the corner and he disappeared in the waiting room at the airport.
@@freelanceart1019I think Jamie's pulling your leg.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Absolutely loved it! Thank you 🙏🏽
I had quite the experience a few months ago, I was in bank station with my boyfriend he was to the left of me and there was a lady to the right of me. both me and the lady shivered at the same time, I have never felt so cold in my life, We both looked at each other and laughed it off. Beside my boyfriend was a man probs in his late 50's he was a foot or two in front, who turned to look at us when we were laughing turned his head back round and instantly faced us again in shock. We asked the man if he was ok and honestly he looked terrified and he swore he saw a shadow in the middle of us. Honestly I've never seen someone so terrified.He actually left the station. I don't really believe in these sort of things but my god that was a moment i'll never forget.
Damn that sent a whole chill down my spine
You can believe now.

Shivers here!
Gosh.

I’ve watched this so many times. I wish there were more well narrated and produced documentaries like this.
The first time I saw this was the first night I arrived in London from Texas in September 2010. I was staying in a dump called Earl's Court Gardens and my room overlooked the tube tracks. Every time a train came by the tv would flicker off and on and the room would shake. It really added to the whole experience. I've rewatched it so many, many times. Absolutely one of the best.

I come back here every so often because I truly believe in the supernatural and this is a well-put-together documentary.
My fiancé thinks that he saw William Terriss in Covent Garden station several years ago. He was surprised to see someone in period dress (which looked very authentic and not like a costume - he mentioned the detailed stitching and quality of the clothes). He stood right next to my fiancé in the lift, but when he mentioned it to the person he was with after they had stepped out of the lift, they hadn't seen/noticed him. My fiancé said while watching this, "But there's only one thing that was different - he had a moustache", and in the photo used in this documentary he doesn't have one. So I Googled William Terriss and he did indeed sometimes have a moustache. I showed the picture to Dominic and he said that was who he saw. Make of that what you will!
Just watched a short interview with comedian Jason Manford. He thinks his daughter saw William Terriss standing behind him in a dressing room whilst he was talking to her online!! Think he has been seen around Covent Garden and the theatre quite a few times. Spooky!!
@@2760ade Yes, we saw/heard this somewhere the other week too! I think it might have been on the Uncanny podcast? It's crazy if that is who my fiancé saw! He's absolutely adamant that William Terriss was as real and 'solid' as if he was looking at a real person. It's intriguing for sure!
I watched another Paranormal t.v. show where they explained how William Terriss died. He was stabbed to death by another actor in a brawl & at the trial it was discovered that the offender was mentally insane. He was confined to a mental asylum for the rest of his life. It is also said that Covent Garden is not the only place that William Terriss haunts. He also haunts the stretch of road between the station & the theatre where he had his employment in life, he also haunts the dressing room his girlfriend once used.
Terriss was stabbed by a down-on-his-luck actor whom Terriss had frequently helped with money and by securing small roles for him. The man stabbed him on the threshold of the actor's entrance. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. 😮😢

James, do you realise that you've just created an unfalsifiable argument? When people have to resort to doing that it usually means their argument unfortunately isn't worth a damn. At most you have an hypothesis and regrettably not an original one. Philosophically where there are gaps in our knowledge there is always a greater than zero % chance something might be possible but just because something is philosophically possible doesn't make it plausible.
I totally agree with you.

I never get tired of watching it either. I always return to watch it every couple of years or so.
I'm almost certain it's a Channel 5 production. I watched it too when it originally aired. Think it was Halloween night, 2005ish.

All of a sudden I got this feeling like I wasn't alone...and then I heard loud footsteps run at me across the carriage, and a loud voice scream in my ear "get out!".

It's not just London though... it's the Subway in NYC and the Metro in my native Newcastle as well. I always get uncomfortable, dodgy, "haunted" feelings in every station
@@emmahealy4863 The low frequency sounds mentioned in this are pretty common in tunnels which is why most metro systems tend to give people the chills as it were. It's more obvious when the place is empty as there's less stuff to distract you from it. Also the Metro logo just reminds me of the old Morrisons logo lol. Just pop in the station to do a big shop haha!
Try walking around a deserted station at night! Alone!!!
This is my favourite documentary on how haunted the Tube is
Probably the best paranormal documentary I've ever seen.
To me, this old 2005 documentary is much more unnerving than to watch a ghost hunter crew attempt to gather evidence. Nothing quite like hearing a good ol' ghost story.
I’m watching this at 12am just before bed. I’ve been off work for 2 weeks. I return to work tomorrow. I work for London Underground and I work at one of the station’s mentioned..
Your invisible friends are waiting for you, they walk in the dark every night thinking about you..
@@SamuelBlack84 hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi have you ever heard of any ghost stories at your work ?
@@casperinferno9686 no :( but I’ve been through the door that people say is haunted and wasn’t scary or anything tbf
Don't forget your Tilly lamp!
Learning about the Bethnal Green disaster left a very horrific feeling. There's something very unsettling about the lady of the Bank Station (Sarah Whitehead?) returning to the very same place where her brother died, each day since the early 19th century.
looking at bethnal green station it still looks very hunted to this day. there is always a massive number of homeless, drugs addict and all sorts. Last year I saw a young girl, maybe 10 years old, begging for money. i couldn`t believe my eyes!
There's a full-length documentary on the Bethnal Green Tube disaster, split into three parts

It's shocking that this disaster was entirely caused by "friendly fire", and shocking that they managed to hush it up for so long
There was no trains in the early 19th century
franl155 thanks for the link. It dacibates me, my late auntie lived in Bethnal Green and used to talk about it a lot, but I can’t remember what she said now. Wish I’d written it all down at the time.
Read 'Winds of Marble Arch' by Connie Willis. Her characters encounter the blitz winds and horrors with the trains.
I’ve watched this three times.
The first time I was alone, the next two times were with my wife and another friend just to see their reactions.
Brilliant 👍
That electric chair image is so obviously a poster, even if Madame Tussaud’s don’t have a record of it. The hand position is identical and the “electric arcs” aren’t giving off any light at all.
I got the feeling madame Tussauds run with it for more promotions, they knew it would make world wide news.
Infrasound Man (tm) strikes me as someone who's once had an experience he couldn't explain and is now dedicating his time to explain everything away
Hahaha same. Can’t say I blame him though, if a paranormal experience happened to me I’d probably spend every waking hour trying to explain it away. If we open the door to the uncanny, who knows what the fuck is gonna walk in.
Yes, like the scientists who try to explain certain miraculous occurrences. They provide the most absurd explanations and call it "science".
@@finallythere100 most of these explanations are probably far more credible than the spirits of long dead people walking the London Underground
@@kerrwallace7090 then again respecting the dead and not making a fuss at a place of mass tragedy wouldn’t hurt anyone too
People won’t believe in something unless they’ve experience it themselves
@@finallythere100 Id trust a scientist over made up ghost story tellers anyway! No evidence for the existence of ghosts !
Me: Puts on an episode of pingu after watching this in bed at night with the lights off...
Too right, I'm watching at 1.42am and think I need an episode of family guy
*noot noot*
Haha cute
Big sissy
I know I'm scared of the infasound too
I used to travel home from Liverpool to Moreton on the Wirral, always the last train 23:25 in 72 to 1977. Many a time I would be on the platform of the Liverpool underground James St. station on my own. Such a strange feeling of loneliness and fear. I was only 17 in 72 but it would give me goosebumps at times. Getting on an empty train, the doors flying open at stations and nobody getting on. I used to be on edge at Bidston station, it was in the middle of nowhere, the doors open and all you could see was the marsh behind the platform if the moon was out. I miss them times, very unique.
Watched this loads of times, it is well made and much better than the crappy ghost programs you normally get. Had enough paranormal experiences myself to know its not infra-sound...!
Hey, you never know!
Also some people experience ghosts differently, although some people in a group might experience the same thing. I also totally agree with you, this is expertly well made. Although every time I hear the end parts, I feel that it’s not as good as the start.
Who knows what was there in the past. London is ancient . Celts,Roman's...
I live in a bell tower(still working, bell section is in the top) built on 800ac, formerly a islamic minaret. The mosque bacame a church, after christian re conquest. There are a lot of human remains in to the catacumbs. Before the mosq, maybe, there was a visigothic themple and before that a roman one. I know the feeling.
eternity takes a long long time ...
UNOPUNTOTRECE cool!
great doc! not over-dramatized, music is not too loud, it is not repetitive (like some American shows) very believable, well done, great visuals. stories well put together! :)
We American people can make amazing documentaries, just because you choose to put us down and try to insult us doesn't mean you're somehow superior to us in point of fact stooping to those lows proves just the opposite
@@derrickguffey4775 calm down. they were making a point and didn’t even insult you personally. they said some american shows are repetitive, not all. i agree american documentaries are usually very well put together but if it’s bad it’s bad. don’t take it too personal mate.
Yes I totally agree
@@derrickguffey4775 there are so many adverts though that when you watch it through without the adverts on British tv it’s like every 2 minutes they repeat the same sentence and image . it makes it almost unwatchable. And on top of that the narrator always seems to shout for some reason.
What the fuck
Quite frankly the best documentary I have ever watched...
