She pulled out her cell phone to capture the footage of what she believed to be paranormal activity. The only news outlet that was willing to run the story was a tabloid called The Express. Her video was posted on their website, along with a description of where and when she saw the ghosts.

Of course, there are plenty of people who dismiss this story as a hoax, or a misidentification of some other lights that may have been on inside the tunnel.
For as long as people tell stories of the plague pits underground, people will probably continue to feel spooked by the possibility that the victims of The Black Death.
