Located at the very edge of Hyde Park, in London, is Apsley House, which was the home of the first Duke of Wellington, Sir Arthur Wellesley, who is the most famous Duke of Wellington, the man who beat Napoleon at Waterloo. Sir Arthur Wellesley later went on to become Prime Minister of the British Isles. There are those who believe that the spirit of Wellesley still restlessly roams the halls of the Apsley House.
Wellesley had a very ghostly encounter in Apsley House himself one night. Apparently, he encountered the ghost of Oliver Cromwell, the Protector of England. The duke, at the time, was a politician and was making a very important vote. He was trying to decide whether he was going to vote for or against something pretty controversial.
According to the story, the ghost of Cromwell assisted him in deciding which way to cast the vote. So two of England's greatest military personalities met, one of them living, one of them dead, late one night in the Apsley House and made a political decision together.
