This may turn out to be about as interesting as other people’s dreams. But sometimes I can’t shake off the notion that there is some divine force at work that can somehow manipulate my iPod’s shuffle function to throw up remarkable segues and coincidences. Didn’t someone at TFT once come u...

We’ve all had spooky moments around London, famed as it is for its ghosts and ghouls. And there are certainly some scary sights around Camden and Hoxton of an evening these days. KCL spent some time sharing fairy tales with serious spookmeister general, Richard Jones.

Mr Jones, prolific writer and expert in all things creepy, formerly of Living TV’s Most Haunted Live, has now collaborated with AA Publishing on a new book revealing the darker side of London. He’s helping us all believe in ghosts….
