Handel’s House Museum

The last home of Baroque composer George Fredric Handel, this museum in haunted London was where he lived until his death in 1759. He actually died in the house and in 2001 an exorcism was performed in the room he expired in. Those in charge of the building contacted the clergy themselves due to activity.

A ghostly woman is seen wandering the home and visitors smell the strong odor of perfume. It is said that Jimi Hendrix lived in the next building and experienced paranormal activity as well. You can visit the museum for £6.50 for adults and £2 for children 5-16.

Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Haunted London

Widely considered to be one of the most haunted theaters, this location has quite an array of spirits that visit. The Man in Grey is the most famous of them all, appearing before a successful show. He is often seen dressed in 18th century clothing (powdered wig included). There is a lavender scented ghost, a disembodied clown head (don’t worry, it’s friendly) and the ghost of an actor that killed someone on stage.

You can see a show here for around £25 a person, but it would seem you may get more action as an actor versus a theater goer.

Highgate Cemetery

I once heard somewhere that cemeteries aren’t usually haunted, but according to many people, this very large cemetery is just that. With a wide array of spooks meandering among the stones, this cemetery tops all others as the most haunted. There is even legend of a tall, imposing vampire that stalks the grounds enough to begin a vampire hunt in the 70’s.

Others have seen red eyes peering from the gates, a floating nun and a woman running screaming through the cemetery. Certain parts of the cemetery are open for a fee and others have an age limit. The grounds are beautiful but you may want to avoid them at night.

London is one of the oldest cities in the world with a rich history, gorgeous building and long lasting mysteries. It will be hard to leave haunted London for our next destination. Come back next month and let us know where you would like us to visit. If you missed last months Haunted Traveler, you can read it here.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
