MOST HAUNTED : Aldwych Underground Station#

Yvette Fielding and a team of experts visit the now defunct Aldwych Tube station in central London, which was used as an air-raid shelter during the Second World War. Aldwych Station, originally know as Strand Station was closed in 1994. The disused street level entrance can still be seen on The Strand. Strand Station was originally opened in 1907, it acted as an off-shoot of the Piccadilly Line to Holborn. The station attracted low passenger numbers but originally ran a late night shuttle service to take theatre-goers from The Strand to Finsbury Park and Holbron. Thirty-three years after it was opened, the station was recommended for temporary closure during the Second World War, during this time the station was used as an air raid shelter, the tunnel its self was used as a storage space for valuable from the British Museum. The station was put back in to operation in 1946 but passenger numbers remained low, it soon became a Monday to Friday service and remained this way until it's eventual closure in 1994. The limited amount of movement on the line made it an ideal film location and many movies and TV shows were shot in the station before it's closure. Staff working at the station say they've heard strange noises while working in the tunnels and experienced unexplained icy blasts of cold air. There also said to be reports of the ghost of an actress seen walking along the platform. It's thought that she haunts the station because she's angry that the theatre where she was the leading lady was demolished to make way for the station.
