The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series. I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon. Here's this week's UK haunting:

St George-in-the-East, London
Much of Whitechapel has transformed beyond all recognition, but in the shadows of this handsome church — one of six designed by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor — a now-derelict brick shed still stands. It opened as part of the Whitechapel Museum in 1904 but in a previous life served as a mortuary. On the evening of 30 September 1888, the body of Elizabeth Stride, the third known victim of Jack the Ripper, was brought here for identification. It’s one of many locations throughout the old East End associated with the notorious serial killer. Join an expert-led tour at twilight to learn more of his wicked crimes.
