The Original London Ghost
A little ghost maker, in an extraordinarily haunted city
The London Ghost Company
Here, in the mist-drenched heart of Victorian London, where the veil between the living and the lost grows thin, the last of the fabled London ghost makers craft spirits of quiet wonder—handmade ghosts, each a singular echo of a story whispered through the ages. Every ghost we make carries its own soul, its own tale, its own unique, haunting beauty.
These are no ordinary creations—they are talismans, charms, and tokens of the unknown. Some say they are vessels of luck, others call them objects of curiosity, but all agree each holds a peculiar magic.
So, please enter—delight yourself in our craft, as we breathe life into memory, and in turn, invite you to keep the whispers of their tales alive.

The Vauxhall Dandy
Vault Ghost Release
For sixpence, London crossed the river in silk, powder and perfume.
They came to promenade beneath the lanterns of the newly opened Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens — to be seen, admired and envied beneath the glow of candlelight and fireworks.
Music drifted through the trees. Perfume and powder hung thick in the evening air. The finest wine flowed long after dark.
And beyond the lantern glow, the darker walks of the gardens tempted those seeking other pleasures beneath the cover of the trees.

The Vauxhall Ruffian
The Dark Paths around Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens were intentionally left unlit to encourage illicit, exciting encounters, far from the lights, music and spectacle. On these dark paths, also lurked danger. The cover of darkness provided the perfect opportunity for London’s Ruffians to rob the rich and fashionable Dandies.
10 Dark Path Ruffians have been created, to accompany 10 Vauxhall Dandies. These will be randomly added to 10 of the 100 Vauxhall Dandy boxes. Will yours be one?
