In 1803, a small village on the edge of London was being haunted…or so they thought.
Reports of a violent ghost start to spiral. Panic spreads. And eventually, a man picks up a shotgun and decides he’s going to solve the problem himself. What follows is a tragedy that sparks almost 200 years of legal debate.
Grab a spoon and join us as we trek through the hysteria, the trial, the haunted pub (bc of course), and most importantly: the unmasking of the real Hammersmith ghost.
