Show Canterbury's Famous Ghost. Of course, Canterbury cathedral has its ghosts. If rumor be true the ghost of the murdered Thomas a Becket is periodically to seen engaged in that last deadly struggle of his with the four miscreant knights at the foot of the altar, and groans and other queer noises are reputed to be heard on the anniversary of his couth. The crime was committed on Dietmber 29, 1170, and the stains of his blood are believed to be in evidence ; no amount of washing wash-ing ever having effaced them. Pearson's Pear-son's Weekly. |
