An Unhappy Haunt: The Ghosts of Anne and Her Retinue in St Peter's Chapel
There's another famous story of Anne Boleyn's ghost in the Tower.

As I mentioned above, Anne's decapitated body was originally buried beneath the floor of St Peter's Chapel. In 1876, Queen Victoria ordered that the bodies in the chapel should be exhumed, and buried more appropriately.
A short while later, one of the captains of the guard was patrolling the Tower at night and saw a strange flickering light in the chapel.
He climbed to one of the windows and pressed his face against the glass. He was amazed by what he saw.
Inside the chapel, he saw a procession of lords, ladies and knights in armour. At the centre of the festivity was a small, delicately dressed woman. Later, he identified her as being Anne Boleyn.
He remained at the window, transfixed by this strange and otherworldly scene.
After a few minutes, the lights in the chapel faded - and the procession of ghosts disappeared into thin air.
The captain of the guard was left gazing through the window of a dark and empty old church.
