Part 6: Haunted Devon, UK: Ghost of St. Thomas Beckett's Murderer

My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys
all of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a LOT more ghosts in England that I  did not (yet) meet, and here is the Sixth of several postings from Devonlive in Devon, U.K about some of them..
  This one is special because I encountered the GHOST of Thomas Beckett!

Why the ghost of St Thomas à Beckett's murderer haunts Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe is said to be haunted by the ghost of one of the murderers of Thomas à Beckett, Sir Will de Tracey. He hid on Crookham Common between Mortehoe and Ilfracombe where his daughter fed him bits of food.
On his death, legend tells that he would haunt the shore forever, which already is said to be cursed and a danger to ships as five vessels were wrecked on the winter of 1852.
