Ghostly sightings of the Tipton Slasher

The comment below, was posted over the weekend, in relation to an entry I did last autumn, when I visited the small park where the remains of WIlliam Perry, the Tipton Slasher are said top be buried.

Hi there, many years ago... 25 years ago!! I lived in The Fountain Inn with the previous land lady at that time June & Dave. I have many wonderful memories of living there one of which was the group sighting of William Perry( I think it was him) in the attic which was situated up a few steps and directly through a door leading to a rather large room. Being just 6 at that time and not fully appreciating what I saw, i am now more interested in finding out the history behind the room in which we saw this man. At that time I have vivid memories of a man seated in a chair wearing just boxing shorts, his hair jet black in colour with a middle parting and of course the handle bar moustache. If you have any information concerning other sightings or pictures I maybe interseted in, I would be grateful if you would let me know. :-)

Though I'm not a frequent visitor to this pub,  I am not aware of these sightings and so, must now for curiosity's sake alone, do a little research on the subject.  For those in the dark, William Perry was champion bare knuckle fighter of all England from 1850 to 1857.
