In this haunting episode, we dive into the eerie true story of one of history’s most infamous ghost hoaxes—Scratching Fanny, the spirit said to haunt London’s Cock Lane. What began as a tale of unexplained knocks and ghostly thuds soon spiraled into a full-blown paranormal frenzy, involving seances, possession claims, and even royal scrutiny. At the center of it all? An 11-year-old girl, a vengeful landlord, and a woman who may—or may not—have returned from the dead.

Was Fanny Lynes truly trying to speak from beyond the grave… or was it all part of a carefully crafted con fueled by greed and spite? Tune in as we unravel the dark motivations behind this 18th-century ghost story and explore how a string of knocks set the stage for one of the earliest paranormal scandals.
