Towels From Windows
The link is dead, so it would be good to have some proper sourcing for the tale about people hanging towels from windows looking for the Monster's secret chamber(s). There is one website online which says it dates from the 1870s and supposedly took place in the 1850s - supposedly engineered by a wife whose husband disliked her and shortly afterwards kicked her out or something. I dare say the story, if there is any truth in it, has grown in the telling. One thing the internet in general (and wikipedia in particular) is very good for is debunking popular myths, eg. entertaining but fanciful stories about the origins of words and phrases. A lot of the supposedly "true" ghost stories which I heard in my youth - Borley Rectory, Gef the Mongoose, Lord Dufferin, the Amityville Horror etc - are debunked on wikipedia, which is good. So it would be nice to have this one properly debunked Paulturtle (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
