The Water Tower's haunting brings together two of this register's most recurring anonymous archetypes within a single building, a Grey Lady and a nun, each reported independently and without any indication in the sources consulted for this entry of whether the two figures are understood locally as connected, coexisting spirits or as entirely separate, unrelated traditions that simply happen to share the same site.
Neither figure carries a name, a date, or a documented originating tragedy, following the general pattern common to many of this register's thinner grey lady and religious-figure sightings, where the label itself, grey lady, nun, has effectively become the entire content of the tradition in the absence of any more specific surviving detail. The Water Tower's own genuine historical function, presumably connected to Carshalton's local water supply infrastructure at some point in its history, has not been further researched for this entry beyond its role as the setting for these two reported hauntings.
Recorded here as a modestly documented but locally recognised haunted site, the Water Tower's Grey Lady and nun join the wider collection of Carshalton ghost stories preserved by local historians, each a small, largely unexplained fragment of the town's own accumulated supernatural reputation.
