Hi All,
The following experience wasnt in London, and if I've already posted this elsewhere I apologise, Greylady said she would lve to hear of this type of experience so I'll post it from my BoS anyway :

Reiki and The Pink Room
I was invited by a spiritual friend, to a Holistics Centre in Ipswich for some Reiki. I had not had Reiki for a year and wanted to see if the experience would be similar to then.
It was fantastic, I experienced my body becoming very light and then very heavy. At one point my left arm and legs from the knees down began to lift out of my body. I felt waves of energy passing through me then at one point the light-headed energy buzz really, really took off, as if someone had cranked it up really high. I saw in moving images two tall grey dismal tower blocks. Looking up at them from the ground the sky was ugly grey and raining. I got a glimpse of some strange machinery. I saw and travelled into a tunnel of purplish blue with pink speckles. Lastly I saw a gaseous shape with lilac colours in it and the edge looked like golden flames with a trailing gaseous tail. As I was wondering what it was I received a message, “Birth OF Life” with the feeling of being proud at being allowed to witness this incredible event. There was emotion carried within this vision.
After the Reiki I thanked Catharine and I was offered a walk round of the Centre.
It is a lovely centre and well set up for all its therapies. I was shown the Pink Room where I feel the expectancy was that I would walk in and instantly say its nice but that wasn’t my first reaction. Don’t get me wrong the room is nice but as soon as I walked in I felt a cold, clammy, presence on the back of my neck and shoulders. I had felt this only once before. Not a pleasant sensation, not scary nor threatening but just, not pleasant. I also saw moving shadows across the walls but it was so strange you knew they were there but you couldn’t bring them to full focus. I explained my reaction and was offered privacy with the room to see what I could “feel”. I grabbed the chance gratefully.
I closed the door and had the room to myself. I protected myself then I checked the windows etc for draughts or breezes. None. I walked round the room a little at a time and found this feeling was contained to a 3ft diameter area. Only there could I feel the presence or see the shadows. I sat within this circle and opened up to some psychic drawing.(Sketching without looking at the paper) One drawing came out showing what looked like someone dragging another body, with a pool of,
Possibly blood on the floor. Don’t know. But a pool of something. The second drawing did not provide anything recognisable.
Within the Relaxation Room I began to feel a heavy sadness with whatever I was linking with and had to come out after a bit.
After, I was talking to Catharine, David, Helen and Nicky I think the names were and they confirmed to me that there was a murder within the Pink Room many many years ago. It was also confirmed to me that a sad transaction took place within the relaxation room. Also the shadows had also been seen by one of the staff in the exact same manner that I had saw them. So it was nice to get the confirmations.
I would like to thank Catharine and all the team who made me very welcome. People have reported different feelings etc as the building is old and historical but I would thoroughly recommend the Reiki and just to experience the building itself. It was quite an amazing day.

I would suggest Walking Haunted London by Richard Jones. Richard was one of the historians on Most Haunted Live and has written numerous books on hauntings, history and Jack the Ripper, he also organises the walking tours around London.

The book has walks taking in locations of historical interest and hauntings with maps and diagrams and details of the nearest tube stations. It is a fantastic book and truly inspirational.

Richard's a good friend, and his knowledge of London and ghosts is amazing.

Ahh, yes, very great City, especialy for me the old part of London like WhiteChapel, there are some realy good Ghost tours there as Mike said, i have yet to a tour, but i would love too.

I walked around Whitechapel at 3.00 in the afternoon and it was eerie then, especially George Yard, where Martha Tabram was murdered, and Mitre Square, where Catherine Eddowes was murdered.
