On Sunday, Oct. 27 (check local listings), PBS presents the first of three new "Secrets Of" specials, peeking in the corners the tourists don't get to see at the Tower of London.
Properly called Her (or His, as the case may be) Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, the Tower sits on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. Built in the 11th century, it was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952, when it housed crime mogul twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
As any fan of "The Tudors" knows, a fair number of queens, court officials and sundry undesirables lost their heads within its walls. The ghost of one, Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, is said to haunt the chapel where she is buried and to be seen carrying her head under her arm.
"There are so many stories of it being haunted," says the film's director, Vicky Matthews to Zap2it.
