London Underground tunnels - experiences from regular commuters

I commute through King's Cross and Bank stations every day, and I've always felt... something off about Bank station specifically. It's got this oppressive atmosphere - cold spots, occasional strange sounds in the tunnels, and I've noticed I'm not the only one who feels it.

Historically, the location was a plague pit burial ground (17th century). The station was built directly over it. I'm wondering if any other London Underground users have experienced anything unusual at their regular stations, particularly Bank, Aldwych, or the older Victorian tunnels.

I'm not claiming it's haunted in a dramatic way. But there's something about certain underground stations that feels distinct - almost like the architecture or the history leaves an emotional imprint. Or maybe it's just the fluorescent lights and air quality doing weird things to perception.

Bank station is notoriously eerie. Even non-paranormal-minded commuters notice it. The atmosphere is genuine - whether it's psychogenic (the history creating expectations) or actual paranormal activity is another question. I'd attribute it to the depth (deepest station in London) and the fact it's 400+ years old.

Aldwych is definitely the strangest. It's abandoned except for film shoots, and the atmosphere down there is genuinely unsettling. I've been on a tour and the energy is palpable. King's Cross has a darker reputation post-1987 (King's Cross fire), but that's recent trauma, not historical hauntings.

Underground stations are incredibly atmospheric regardless of paranormal activity. You're 100+ feet underground in Victorian-era tunnels with poor ventilation, constant noise, and thousands of people passing through daily. The psychological effect alone is powerful. Add 400 years of history and it's no wonder people sense something.

Have you done any formal investigation or just anecdotal feeling? EMF readings, temperature mapping, audio recording? Bank station would be interesting to document properly, though TfL probably wouldn't cooperate. But if you're recording commute patterns and personal experiences, that's valuable data.

I work in the City and travel through Bank regularly. I've never felt anything unusual, but I'm sceptical about ghosts generally. That said, I respect the atmospheric quality of the older stations. They're deliberately designed with that Victorian darkness - it's architectural, not paranormal.
