The Loch Arkaig Treasure
On April 30, 1746, two French ships landed 1,200,000 livres of Spanish gold at Loch nan Uamh in Arisaig, two weeks after the Jacobite army had been destroyed at Culloden. Six caskets of it reached Loch Arkaig and were hidden. The men who knew where went into hiding, into prison, or into exile, and the gold has never been accounted for.

The London Stone
A block of limestone set behind glass in a wall on Cannon Street, recorded by name since about 1100 and unexplained ever since. The prophecy everyone quotes about it, that London stands only so long as the stone is safe, was written by a Welsh clergyman in the 1860s.

Tower of London
A nearly 1,000-year-old fortress on the Thames where centuries of executions and imprisonments have left it Britain's most consistently reported haunted building, from a sentry-killing "phantom bear" to the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn.
