The Disturbing Case of the Hammersmith Ghost Murder

In the winter of 1803, a quiet village west of London was haunted, at least, that’s what the locals believed. A ghost, cloaked in white, was said to rise from the graves in Hammersmith’s old churchyard, terrifying anyone who dared walk near after dark.

But when a man with a pistol tried to stop the so-called ghost, it ended in tragedy.
This is the true story of the Hammersmith Ghost Murder, one of Britain’s strangest legal cases. Where a ghost story led to real panic, a wrongful death, and a trial that changed the law.
