Berkeley Square, the Most Haunted House in England
House number 50, known as the Berkeley Square house, was built in 1740. In the lower loft apartment, a young woman met a terrible end, throwing herself from the window and taking her own life.
According to legend, the girl had been mistreated by her own uncle and could not bear the situation. It is said that, some time later, her spirit began to wander the house seeking revenge on her relative.
Those who have seen or witnessed her describe a brown mist that turns into a white figure, capable of frightening people so badly that they die.
Another story told about the house concerns a young man who was locked in the attic and fed through a hole until he became paranoid and died, turning into a ghost that chases people who visit the place where he died.

From 1850 to 1874, a man named Thomas Mayers proposed to a woman, but she rejected him. Deeply wounded, he shut himself in his room and never came out again.
It is said that when you walk past Thomas Mayers's room at night you can hear voices or sounds, frightening anyone who is there.
In 1882, a record in Mayfair Magazine mentions a room below the house. One morning, a woman who helped with the housework went down and was so traumatized that she had to be hospitalized, but she died the next day.
After this, a nobleman decided to find out what was going on down there in that room and stayed the night. When people came looking for him in the morning to hear how it went, he was so paralyzed with fear that he could not even speak.
Shortly after this incident, several residents of the house said they had seen the ghost of Thomas Myers, who was very aggressive. Various strange stories about the house at number 50 went around until the 1930s, after which the whole house was bought in London by Maggs Bros., which opened a large antiques office there.
