Ghosts
There is a ghost story attached to Golders Green. According to legend a house called Golders Lodge, situated where Golders Gardens is today, was haunted. “The story attached to it was that it was left by will to a certain person as long as a testator of the relative “remained above ground”. The relative died and to save his estate, the conditional tenant kept the body “above ground”, for a considerable period.” It has been said that the body was left in its coffin in the attic, and that the place has been haunted by the unburied spirit ever since.
