Tower of London--A Haunted Home?
Ghosts are said to haunt James’s home, but he hasn’t seen one—yet. “People have died here,” says the 15-year-old (above right) from London, England, in the United Kingdom.
James’s father is a yeoman warder, or guard, at the Tower of London, a former castle, fortress, prison, and execution site that dates back almost a thousand years. And his family lives there!

Enter James’s home—if you dare.

James explores Traitors’ Gate, named for the traitors who entered the prison on boats from the Thames River.
