Description

In a cold January in 1762, London was gripped with the story of the Cock Lane Ghost. Everyone from royalty to peasants flocked to Cock Lane to catch a glimpse of this spirit. But it was soon discovered that this ghost was on a mission...a mission to expose its murderer. Warning: This episode contains several "Cock Lane" puns (obviously).
