Puzzling reference[edit]

"In 1832, there was another ghost preying on women with claws..." -- hats off to this particular apparition for specializing in victims peculiarly able to defend themselves. 75.150.76.129 (talk) 21:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whose children?[edit]

This:

an old shoemaker, John Graham, who had been using a sheet to pretend to be a ghost to frighten his apprentice, who had been scaring his children with ghost stories.

is unclear. I presume it was Graham's children rather than his apprentice's; someone who has access to the reference might confirm this and change "his" to "Graham's" accordingly. jnestorius^(talk) 08:29, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
