Running almost neck and – er – neck is this famous foreboding abode, the former prison of some of England's most notorious figures, many of whom where hung or beheaded within. One of the most notable is Anne Boleyn, wife of King Henry VIII, who lost his head when she was unable to produce a male heir. Subsequently, it was she that lost her head, and her headless apparition can still be seen within the so-called Bloody Tower. One area, known as the Salt Tower, is so spooky that dogs refuse to enter. In 1864, a soldier who passed out from fright after doing battle with a ghostly apparition was acquitted for neglecting his duty when two other soldiers corroborated his story.
