During last summer, myself and my family (my little girl
and
husband), visited the Tower of London.
It was a lovely sunny day, we
arrived about 11.30am, and after lunching in the tower cafe, we started
to explore.
We had been in the tower about 2 hours (after a medieval sword
reenactment), we reached the bloody tower, in which Sir Walter
Raleigh had been kept, and my husband decided he needed a cigarette
(before it was banned) and decided to sit outside with our daughter,
whilst I went inside myself.
I walked up the stairs into the room that was furnished how it was
supposed to be while Walter was there. There was couple who left
the room just has I entered, so I was left in the room by myself.
I was looking at his desk and had a really strange feeling someone
was watching me. I ignored it thinking I was getting paranoid! Then
I left the room to ascend the stairs to the upper part of the tower,
which was his bedroom.
The couple was nowhere to be seen, so once again I was in the dimly
lit bedroom by myself.
I was just about to leave (it had been about 5 mins), when something
breathed heavily in my right ear, I completely freaked, I turned to
see who the hell it was and to shout at them for scaring
me ....there was nobody there.
I turned and ran as fast as I could out on to the wall which was
directly to the right of me and found the little stairs to take me
downstairs.
I immediately saw my husband talking to a beefeater, and ran to him. He said I was white as a sheet and I was shaking so hard, it was a
wonder how I stood.
The odd thing though is what the beefeater said to me,"don't worry it
happens a lot" he said after I explained what had happened, I wanted
to leave there and then. |
