Haunted London Bank of England

The Bank of England is well known for it’s gold bullion stored in it’s vaults. But in 1798 something more unusual was deposited there for safekeeping. The Directors of the institution gave permission for the burial, in an inner courtyard, of the 7'6" body of a former employee William Jenkins

William was disturbed by the thought that his large body would be stolen by body snatchers for use in experiments, or worse.

His giant ghost has been seen walking the corridors of the Bank, although according to the Bank of England Museum there have been no recent sightings.
