In early 1804, a man was shot dead in a London street, but not by a criminal, but by someone who believed he was firing at a ghost. The killing was rooted in panic and superstition as a white clad ghost was said o be roaming the streets. This murder of mistaken identity, led to a landmark trial that would challenge the boundaries of selfdefense in British law. This is the case of the Hammersmith Ghost, where folklore met fatal consequence.

Today's True Weird Stuff - Hammersmith Ghost (Airdate 11/15/2024)   In 1803, residents of the Hammersmith district of London reported being terrorized by a ghost. The hysteria was so intense that a man named Francis Smith did the unthinkable: he shot and killed a man wearing white clothing, having mistaken the man for the Hammersmith Ghost. Can a man be found guilty of trying to kill a ghost? It's a decision that would take English courts 180 years to figure out.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the last twenty-five years, ghost hunting has entered something of a golden age, with all sorts of technology playing its part and filling up an investigators kit bag. Cameras, EMF metres, InfraRed thermometers and spirit boxes all help to carve a science out of a difficult premise, with differing levels of credibility. In the early 1800s, things were a little bit different. It was a simpler time. All you needed back then was a stiff drink, or maybe two, and a loaded revolver, because as we all know, if you want to catch a ghost, you need to shoot it first. All well and good, provided the ghost you shoot isn't just a man in his work overalls. SOURCES Old Bailey Proceedings Online (1804) Trial of FRANCIS SMITH (t18040111-79).

In late 1803, a ghost started terrorizing Hammersmith London and soon led to a very real life murder. While walking home one night Thomas Millwood was tragically mistaken for the ghost and killed. And the ensuing murder trial raised a number of questions. Who was the Hammersmith ghost? Was it real or a prank?

Given the sheer age of London and the number of people that have passed through its gates over the centuries, it would be difficult to imagine it not being haunted. Though, as the tale of the Hammersmith Ghost will show, ghosts aren't always what they appear to be. This tale takes us to Hammersmith, a rural area to the west of London on the River Thames. It marks the point where London meets the countryside.  December 1803 will be marked by sightings of a ghost, which will ultimately end in tragedy.

We're closing out spooky season with a couple spooky-adjacent stories this week. Scotty talks about the bizarre and ultimately deadly story of the "Hammersmith Ghost," and Amelia takes us through the history of one of Disney's most popular rides: the Haunted Mansion. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Our journey begins in the foggy night of January 3, 1804, when a terrified woman reported a haunting encounter with an apparition dressed in white near the St. Paul's Churchyard in Hammersmith. News of the ghost's malevolence quickly spread, and fear gripped the local community, prompting them to seek protection from the ghastly entity. As the Hammersmith Ghost's notoriety grew, more sightings of the spectral figure were reported. Panic swept through the neighborhood, and tales of hair-raising encounters circulated, leaving residents sleepless and paranoid. The ghost's eerie presence seemed to be spreading unrest and fear throughout Hammersmith. Amidst the growing hysteria, tragedy struck on February 3, 1804, when a local bricklayer named Thomas Millwood was mistaken for the Hammersmith Ghost and fatally shot by a nervous vigilante. This tragic incident heightened the tensions, raising questions about the identity of the apparition and the appropriateness of vigilante justice. As the authorities investigated the circumstances surrounding Thomas Millwood's death, startling revelations emerged. The true identity of the Hammersmith Ghost was unveiled as a deceased shoemaker named John Graham, who had been buried in the local churchyard. But how had he come to be seen wandering the streets, and why did his specter appear so menacing? As the Hammersmith Ghost's true identity came to light, debate raged over whether the sightings were part of a sinister hoax or something truly supernatural. Skeptics argued that it was merely a cruel prank played by mischievous individuals seeking to terrorize the community. Meanwhile, believers clung to the idea of a vengeful spirit haunting the living. The killing of Thomas Millwood led to the arrest of the shooter, Francis Smith. The landmark trial that followed captured the public's attention and raised complex legal questions about the nature of apparitions and the consequences of acting on fear. The court's decision would set a precedent for future cases involving self-defense and mistaken identity. As the Hammersmith Ghost hysteria eventually subsided, its legacy endured. The case offered valuable insights into human psychology, mob mentality, and the power of fear over reason. Furthermore, it prompted important discussions about the reliability of eyewitness accounts and the responsibility of the legal system in handling cases involving the supernatural. The legend of the Hammersmith Ghost remains an enduring mystery, a curious blend of the supernatural and human psychology. As we delve into the chilling tale of this infamous specter, we are reminded of the impact that fear and superstition can have on a community and the importance of seeking justice with a clear and rational mind. The Hammersmith Ghost will forever haunt the pages of history, leaving behind a cautionary tale of how the unknown can drive us to extremes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shaychapman/message

Hammersmith, England thought they had a ghost problem in 1803. Then they ACTUALLY had a murder problem. When in reality... it was a man in a sheet problem.   This whole situation set off an argument in the court system that lasted 180 years!

On Sunday April 18th 1943 four boys head off on a boys-own adventure into Hagley Woods. A day of poaching birds eggs soon turned macabre, however - with the discovery of a skull in an elm tree. In this Halloween Tale we discuss a few of the possibilities around the poor Jane Doe, known to history simply as ‘Bella'.      Sources this week - Oh boy… I wrote this as a blog post years ago, after a YouTube video on the tale caught my eye. I thought that video was a Rob Gavagan episode, but if so he's since taken it down. Next most likely YouTuber? The remarkable Cayleigh Elise - not that you could confuse the two YouTubers, but they were my go to's at the time for True Crime. A few years back Cayleigh found the weight of her own content became too much for her - and scrapped her entire channel. This Unexplained Mysteries episode is also a likely source.  This led me to several newspaper articles, like this one in The Independent, which is paywalled. This fantastic piece in the Birmingham Mail is a source, and well worth a read …. And several others, lost to my inattentiveness.  This Crimereads article is, I'm 99% sure a source. As was 100% this article in The History Press.  Josef Jacobs dot info is well worth checking out, not just for info on Jacobs, Jack Mossop and Clara Bauerle, but so much else besides with WW2 espionage leanings.    The blog post of the episode is here.

In this episode, however, I use my own quick takes on Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade (Miller + Mitchell Parish) Bless ‘Em All (First performed by George Formby, probably written by Fred Godfrey and Robert Kewley) And the WW2 drinking song Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major (Art Noel and Don Pelosi)… I had planned to throw together a version of Lili Marlene, and White Cliffs of Dover… but I ran out of time… The rest of the music is all mine.  For more information on Simone click here.

In the winter of 1803, residents outside of London reported strange encounters with a ghost. Some said it looked like Napoleon Bonaparte, or a horse without a head. Others said the ghost breathed fire and smoke. By Christmas, there was a “full-scale phantom panic.” Shortly after the New Year, one man decided he'd stop the ghost once and for all.

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.

In the early 1800s, London had so many spooky spirits terrorizing people in the streets. It was an epidemic! The most infamous of these spirits sparked a ghost story so powerful that it would actually end up setting a legal precedent in the UK regarding self defense.
