Re: Murderous Wapping Vicar.
Well Fouro. I don't know about ghostly vicars, the " Wall at Wapping" aka The Prospect of Whitby probably is haunted by the ghosts of many on this site. Had some very rowdy nights there. One stands out when a ships crew thought the Jukebox would look good in their "Pig" only the cable held it from going out the door.

Yes Bill, my Ghost is in there on a few occasions (50's). The landlady was a gem and allowed us drink on the tab if we were short, we either paid just before we sailed if we could get a sub (very difficult for a cadet to get an advance, they had you by the short and curlies), and if we couldn't she'd say pay me next time, and we always did. Wise business woman, knew that young lads were her future business.

I, like many others, had the same deal at 'The Round House' London docks.

Re: Murderous Wapping Vicar.
Ghosts, so many stories but in my travels may have seen one or two, so have some of you.
Young ladies who for some reason during the wee hours turn into something that would frighten any man far worse than any ghost you may meet.
