50 Berkeley Square is a reportedly haunted townhouse situated on Berkeley Square in Mayfair, Central London.
In the late 19th century, it gained notoriety as a place of eerie occurrences. Its attic room is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman who tragically took her own life there.
The legend varies, but most versions claim that the young woman threw herself from a top-floor window after suffering abuse from her uncle. Her spirit is believed to manifest as a brown mist or sometimes a white figure.
An alternative tale suggests that a young man was locked in the attic room, fed only through a hole in the door, until he went mad and died. Another story involves the ghost of a little girl who met a tragic end at the hands of a sadistic servant.
From 1859 to the early 1870s, Thomas Myers resided in the house. His odd behaviour, including sleeping during the day and making strange sounds at night, contributed to the house’s eerie reputation. Myers eventually died there at the age of 76.
In 1872, Lord Lyttleton stayed a night in the attic, armed with a shotgun. He claimed to have fired at an apparition but found only shotgun cartridges in the morning.
: The local council issued a summons to the house’s owners for tax non-payment, but they reportedly avoided prosecution due to the house’s haunted reputation.
Peter Underwood’s book “Haunted London” (1975) renewed interest in the site. However, no paranormal phenomena have been reported since the Maggs Brothers acquired the house in the late 1930s.
So, 50 Berkeley Square remains a captivating tale of spectral intrigue, echoing through the corridors of London’s haunted history.
