Nearly a hundred years before the modern spiritualism movement swept the globe and the infamous Fox sisters fooled a whole community with their toe-clicking séances, another ghostly phenomenon shook 18th century London. It’s a story filled with sex, lies, scandal, and murder, that almost ended with an innocent man swinging from a rope. Today we are talking about the Cock Lane Ghost. The Lady Dicks dick-tect history, mystery, and paranormal tales from around the world. Hailing from Canada, Andrea and Tae are a terribly cheesy comedic duo that covers some of life’s biggest mysteries and peskiest ghosts. Do you want more of The Lady Dicks?
