Cock Lane Ghost

A thorough investigation revealed that Parsons' daughter, a child of eleven, was the source of the disturbance. The object of the Parsons family seems to have been to accuse the husband of the deceased woman of murdering her, with a view to Blackmail . Parsons was prosecuted and condemned to the Pillory . The ghost was mentioned in the first chapter of Charles Dickens ' '' A Tale Of Two Cities ''.
