10 Things You Didn’t Know About The London Underground

Considering how old it is, how famous it is, and how creepy being underground can be, it's perhaps unsurprising that The Tube is reportedly home to a number of ghosts and ghouls.

The so-called Kennington Loop - a part of the Northern Line where trains reverse back round - is supposedly very haunted. Tube Drivers have reported hearing carriage doors slam on empty trains and there are rumours of a former employee who was electrocuted on the tracks still lingering in the Loop.

Then there's Sarah Whitehead, better known as "The Black Nun". The story goes that Sarah's brother was hanged for stealing money from the Bank of England and now her spirit haunts the nearby Bank station.

That's actually only the second scariest thing about Bank, after what it feels like to try and change lines there.

And finally, we have William Terriss. One of Victorian London's most acclaimed stage actors, Terriss was stabbed to death outside the Adelphi Theatre by a fellow performer in 1897.

Several sightings of the deceased actor have been reported at nearby Covent Garden tube station over the years - one final performance for a star cut down in his prime.

Spooky, right?
