Ghastly Tales of Tudor Ghosts

The Tudors ruled over England from the unlikely battlefield victory of King Henry VII in 1485; through the 6 wives of heinous Henry VIII and his three children’s desperate fights over the throne; to the agonizing death of the magnificent Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The family’s tragic interpersonal drama, and penchant for beheading anyone who got in their way have inspired a number of chilling ghost stories. So lock the door, turn down the lights, light a candle and pour yourself a bloody Mary. Together, lets step briefly off the relatively firm ground of historic record and into the misty realms of legend, hearsay and the supernatural as we recount the Ghastly Ghost Stories of the Terrible Tudors...
