The Hammersmith Ghost was a legend that plagued a village outside of London.

When a villager committed suicide and was buried on consecrated ground, people began to report sightings of the local specter.

Some ran. Some died. Some picked up guns and decided to fight.

One man stumbled across the ghost and shot it in the face.

There was just one problem—it wasn’t a ghost at all.
