I wasn't sure whether it was from a newspaper or broadside ballad or parish magazine so that is a help. <br /><br />Thank you, it's for some research I'm doing on English revenants and I am enjoying fitting a few south London ones in.Scott Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236379157762055215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-70343618240173564302010-08-04T18:14:15.055+01:002010-08-04T18:14:15.055+01:00Hello Scott,

I don't know which newspaper though, as I saw the cutting in an album of Deptford cuttings in the British Library (shelfmark 578 m 8). Alternatively, there shouldn't be too many London newspapers to search through for that date if you have access to the Newspaper Library.CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-79770904809794318022010-08-04T14:17:23.240+01:002010-08-04T14:17:23.240+01:00Hi Caroline

I've got the account of it in Jess Steele's 'Turning the Tide' but it looks like you've seen another source or an original document. Can I ask where you saw it and whether it's open to all? Many thanks.Scott Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236379157762055215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-67749436074887973292009-11-01T19:35:52.253+00:002009-11-01T19:35:52.253+00:00Yes, the only downside to this story is that the p...Yes, the only downside to this story is that the poor ghost never got to share his beer!CarolineLDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197813252586559665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287675141745937676.post-65984626510700218722009-10-31T08:36:19.602+00:002009-10-31T08:36:19.602+00:00And a happy Halloween to you, too, Caroline!
