London's Old Courthouse - Weird Story Locations on Waymarking.com

The courthouse is the reputed haunt of one Marion "Peg Leg" Brown. Convicted of murdering one Constable Michael Toohey, a member of the local Constabulary, he escaped custody, but was later recaptured in Washington State, and sent back to London to have his sentence meted out.
On May 17th, 1899, "Peg Leg", was escorted to the gallows, where he is said to have repeatedly expressed his innocence of the crime, and twice cursed the courthouse, saying that no grass would ever grow on his grave, (since his grave has since been paved over to make a parking lot, that part of the curse at least appears to have come true), and that he would continue to haunt the courthouse, especially on the anniversary of his execution.

Since that time reports have been made about a mysterious shadow that appears on the courthouse wall on the morning of the aniversary of "Peg Leg's" death, as well as mysterious cold spots, unexplained noises, and the occaisional apparition at other times of the year.
