The story of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel has beguiled locals and visitors alike for many years. Opened in 1902, the tunnel runs under the River Thames, connecting Greenwich on the south bank to Millwall on the north. While it’s seen plenty of foot traffic over the past century, not all these travelers are said to have left. The tunnel is steeped in ghostly tales and unexplained happenings. The most famous of these was Jane, the Victorian woman who began appearing in the tunnel sometime after World War II. According to eyewitness accounts, she was distinguished by an old-fashioned style, a wooden cane and a pale, spectral glow. Jane was known to ask passersby for the time, only to vanish as they turned to check their watches. Over time, she became a legend; a ghost whose harmless nature didn’t lessen her eerie presence. There were also tales of phantom ringing bells and footsteps echoing behind lone pedestrians. Some locals whispered about a cursed sailor who had died in the Thames and whose ghost roamed the tunnel, leaving a chilling presence in his wake. Some of the visitors even reported feeling a cold breath on their necks and an eerie silence took over the usually vivid tunnel, only adding to the chilling legend that surrounds it. Although scientific explanations have been proposed for these encounters, many people prefer to believe in the haunted lore of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. It’s a story that echoes through the ages, traveling from person to person, generation to generation.
