BUCKET LIST: Ghost Hunt in the London Tombs with Host Aaron Millar


Listen Later

“I was lying in a coffin in the catacombs beneath London Bridge while a clairvoyant called to the

spirits around me to make themselves known. To say this was not a normal Saturday night

would be to grossly understate the point.”


And so begins, the second of our Halloween specials – a bucket list ghost hunt in the London

Tombs.


When these ancient catacombs were being excavated in 2007, they were found to house the

remains of plague victims who had been buried there centuries before. The builders working at

the time reported numerous strange goings on and insisted on working in pairs for fear of being

alone in those dark recesses.


Today, it is purported to be one of the most haunted places in the city and home to many

trapped souls including one particular menace known only as ‘Shadow Man’.

Told by host Aaron Millar, this is the story of a paranormal investigation he took part in while

on a Halloween assignment for a UK newspaper. Everything that is told here is true, and not

exaggerated. And whether its ghosts, imagination or the power of the mind, things happened

down there which Aaron, a skeptic, still can’t fully explain.
