The headless Ghost of Anne Boleyn

The Ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn has been seen for centuries walking the Tower of London where she was decapitated accused of witchcraft. Perhaps the best reported sighting was in 1863, when a guard fainted away at the sight of the woman, holding her severed head. Another saw it as well. She has been seen many times, some say she seeks the ghost of her husband, King Henry VIII to tell him that the charges against her were false. She did have several unique elements about her person--such as six fingers on one hand and three breasts! I have investigated the Tower and it lives up to its reputation as one of the most haunted places in the world. It is creepy! Anne is encountered in several locations, sometimes with, and sometimes without, her head. If you ever get across the pond to the UK, do visit the tower of London! You will be glad you did.
