Ghosts of the Underground
More than one billion people use London underground annually, yet few of them know just how haunted the tube really is. We investigate the supernatural secrets of the oldest underground network in the world.
Our hair-raising journey takes us through the graves, church crypts and plague pits that tube tunnels have disrupted. We hear the startling stories of the men and women who work one hundred and fifty feet below our capital’s pavements; we also scrutinize the network’s amazing architecture and exceptional engineering. This remarkable programme enables us to survey one of the most familiar environments in London from a radical and chilling perspective.
We hear the supernatural stories of London Underground staff members who man the echoing stations and tunnels at night, long after the commuters have disappeared. For the first time on camera, drivers and station staff discuss their unexplainable subterranean experiences, outlining the effect that the incidents have had on them.
Been trying to figure out the track that starts at around 15 minutes in, just before that guy start talking about the door rattling on his shift.
Great documentary. Would love to see more like this, thank you.
People need to watch
*A Trip into the Supernatural* by Roger Morneau and finally get closure with these stories.
Benjamin, the ethereal eerie track you're referring to is Nighty Night by Louise Dowd. Another track used is Sad Piano by Mark Hawkins.
its just a marketing stunt for the london underground
Lol, a billion people..
The stories are well told, without trying to over dramatize them. I don't know if there are ghosts but I believe these people were talking about what they believe happened. So much better than some of the presentations I have seen.
Track playing at about 4min is Mogwai - Yes! i am long way from home
the workers should go in pairs and not alone because that's kinda dangerous
To Charing Cross from Finchley by foot ??!! Geez, that must have taken ages and in complete darkness ?? thumbs up to this trackwalker bloke - balls of titanium...
Does anybody know the name of the track played at 40 minutes in, when the trackwalker for the Jubilee Line discusses a ghost?
The Aphex Twin Track at around 22 mins is called Schottkey 7th Path, from the selected ambient works 85-92 album. :-)
Guys... I am so confused. This documentary appeared on the History channel a couple of days ago (19/02/12), and the music was completely different to all of the documentaries of the same programme I find online. At 35 minutes into this documentary, I know that the band Sigur Ros is playing - and I have that song. But in the recent documentary I watched, it was a different song. It had piano and children's voices in a very ethereal errie soundtrack. Did anyone watch the more recent version of this documentary, and does anyone know the song I am talking about? If anyone knows, I'd be so grateful if they could just refer to me as "Benjamin" in a new comment and tell me. Thank you very much.
Another song is Gorillaz's Tomorrow Comes Today which plays during the introduction of the low frequency explanation. Thanks again to everyone who posted the tracks of the other songs on the documentary. I couldn't seem to find any official listing of the songs on it. If anyone knows the AFX/Aphex Twin song mentioned, that would be awesome! Thx again every1 :D
another song during the introduction of the low frequency theory is Gorillaz's Tomorrow Comes Today. Thx everyone else for providing many of the tracks' titles included in this documentary. I searched tirelessly for the names of them! :D
I think they have to improve the safety standards in those tunnels
I came in fully expecting a hokey laugh at the expense of this doc. Turns out it's actually very well done and argues both sides of the debate.
cool doc.....
awesome
cool doc. I watched this about a year ago on this site. I thought I posted a reply back then, I guess not. Anyway, love how he captures the environment.
Does anyone know any of the great tunes played in the background throughout?
That was interesting. Slightly scary as well... I gotta remember these stations next time I visit London.
If you believe somethings happening it probobly will.
Nothing recorded on camera ,phones. 8 out of ten people in the uk have a camera phone yet no material hmmm.
Why are there only 'Ghosts' of people who have been buried & not the ones who have been cremated??
