Ghostly Burglar Disguise
Fox and Goose Public House, Chorley
The Fox and Goose Public House in Chorley, Lancashire, has a rather unusual ghost story attached to it. Back in March 1887, the landlord and two other men were in the kitchen when they spotted a figure clad in white. The apparition made a strange noise, which was enough to persuade the men to let it leave without intervention. It was only later that the truth came to light - the 'ghost' was actually a cunning burglar who had tried to disguise himself as a paranormal entity.
