If you don\u2019t believe in ghosts it\u2019s probably because you didn\u2019t visit the Buckingham palace at night yet.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though everyone knows or has ever heard about the amazing Buckingham Palace<\/strong> <\/em>in London,\u00a0there are still around 756 spaces that remain a mistery for the public. Having more than 400 years of history it\u2019s no wonder that there are a few things the royal family is keeping hidden inside the luxury property<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recently we found out that the Buckingham Palace<\/strong><\/em> is just like a little town, containing its own chapel, post office, movie theater and a doctor\u2019s office that is prepared to perform surgeries. But it doesn\u2019t stop there, Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong><\/em> has made her own additions to the property over the years, that are completely amazing by the way.<\/p>\n

An ATM that prints money<\/h3>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

One of them is an ATM\u00a0printer that can only be used by the royal family itself. It sure must come in handy to print your own bills before heading to major international events, although it must be uncomfortable for the Queen Elizabeth<\/strong><\/em> to print bills with her own face in it. This convenient object is located in the basement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Private Art Collection by Canaletto<\/h3>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

Also in the basement, you can find the Queen\u2019s private art collection<\/strong><\/em> by the Venetian artist, Canaletto<\/strong> <\/em>in the 1700\u2019s. Several other pieces she\u2019s acquired over the years are also displayed within the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While 450 pieces are displayed for the public in the Queen\u2019s Gallery, the rest remain private for royal eyes only.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Light Fixtures that can be lowered by remote control<\/h3>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

To allow a much easier and safer cleaning, the gigantic crystal light fixtures<\/strong><\/em><\/a> that inhabit the Palace\u2019s ceiling can be lowered by remote control, according to BBC. I mean it would definitely be a shame if those pieces of art weren\u2019t being taken care of, a great idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

25 different types of Roses<\/h3>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

The garden of the luxury<\/strong><\/em> residence couldn\u2019t be more appropriate to the building\u2019s splendor. It covers 39 acres and features around 25 different varieties of roses. One was even created in honor of Royal William.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ghost of King Edward VII<\/strong><\/em>\u2018s secretary<\/h3>\n

\"5<\/a><\/p>\n

To make the Buckingham Palace<\/strong><\/em> even more unique, the luxury estate<\/strong><\/em> was reported to have spirits who have been haunting the space. First there are rumors that a monk died in a cell on the premises and sometimes haunts the terrace at night. Second, there\u2019s the ghost King Edward VII<\/strong><\/em>\u2018s secretary, Major John Gwynne<\/strong><\/em>, who shot himself after divorcing his wife.<\/p>\n

Staffers say they sometimes hear the sound of a single gun shot coming from his former office. I mean, would you have the guts to visit it again??<\/p>\n
