During the mid-1700's, a painter went to the Tower of London and was painting a picture of the cells where several prisoners that had been condemned to death had been held over the years. As he was painting, he was by a suit of armor. After he had finished painting the armor, he was about to turn his attention to the hall when he saw an arm and hand slowly extend into the hallway. It was shimmering as he saw it.
He at once painted as fast as he could to get the ghostly apparation before it dissapered. He was almost too slow. He had just finished painting it when it vanished again.
After this, he finished the painting as fast as he could then nearly ran from the building. Later that night, he was looking over the painting, and he noticed that the hand had a ring on it, which he had barely noticed as he drew. It was very detailed, the only part of it that had been really detailed.
He asked several firends if they knew anyone who had that ring, but all said no. Then, one day, a lord came to buy a painting from him. When he saw the painting, he inquired what it was. He closely inspected the ring, and when he had finished, calmly turned to the man and said, "This ring belonged the Cathrin of Argon, one of Henry VIIIs' several wives. She was beheaded in that hall in the Tower of London for not bearing any male hiers to the throne."
