Exploring the myths of the Charterhouse Plague Pit
The Charterhouse area of London has played host to a monastery, a School, and university buildings...as well as the Charterhouse Plague Pit.
Yet the plague pit gave rise to schoolyard rumours in the nearby school, with the dead seemingly still screaming in their grave. Ghost sightings of monks give the tranquil square a slightly different kind of appeal.
So what is the Charterhouse Plague Pit and why does this square seem so haunted? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
