The Bloody Tower of London 31 Days of Halloween with The Kelly Society Day 29

5th Anniversary

31 Days of Halloween with

The Kelly Society

Day 29

Greetings All,

I am Shawn Wilson. I am part of the paranormal cleansing team called The Kelly Society. I'm Vivien Kelly's assistant and second psychic on all our supernatural investigations.

I did a past life regression years ago and discovered I was a lady-in-waiting to Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded by her husband King Henry VIII in May 19, 1536. I was discharged however, after being late for my duties time and time again. They discovered I was dallying with the cook's son and before they could reprimand me (his mother vowed to stab me with her kitchen carving knife) I ran away! I lived a long life in the English countryside married to a stable boy. We were both very young when we tied the knot!

But not everyone got away from murderous intent so easily. I became fascinated with the fate of the two young princes who were sent to the Tower.

DISCOVER THE STORY OF THE PRINCES IN THE TOWER

The Bloody Tower is most strongly associated with the supposed murder of the 12-year-old Edward V and his younger brother, Richard, in 1483. Tradition says that they stayed in these rooms on the orders of their uncle, the future Richard III.

The princes' subsequent disappearance remains one of the most intriguing stories of the Tower's history. As the rumors grew, the tower was renamed the 'Bloody Tower' from the Garden Tower.

I took the Twilight Tour of the Tower of London last time I was there and I recommend it! It was very spooky and for me, it became emotional, because I know Richard III murdered the princes because they stood between him and the throne.
