Free Lunchtime lecture by Scott Woood. Part of the London Ghost Festival 2009 presented by London Paranormal www.londonparanormal.com
Bored with orbs and unimpressed with ghostly mists? Join writer Scott Wood for terrible tales from London’s ghostly past. Hear tales that include the gut-wrenching phantom dog of Newgate gaol and ghostly goings on in the Tower of London. Shudder at the thought of the pig-faced spectre, the meat thieving Smithfield ghost and an occult battle with the Undead on Bankside.
Scott runs South East London Folklore Society and has given walks and talks on many aspects of London’s ghosts and folklore. He has written for The Skeptic, Fortean Times, Londonist, as well as writing the afterword for Antony Clayton’s “The Folklore of Londonâ€.
