My English History prof in college said that, in the 18th & 19th centuries, several people claimed to have seen the ghost of St. T'B standing at the altar, but on inquiry the "ghost" was shown to be far too short to be St.T'B... Then, during a rennovation in the early 20th century, it was discovered that an earlier repair job had raised the floor arounf the altar 18", making the "ghost" just the right height.

Just though I'd pass that tale along.

Thank you. I read a slightly different version. Before he was Archbishop of Canterbury, he was Constable of the Tower. The article I read said that there had been many sightings of ghosts previously in the Cathedral, but his was the earliest recorded one. He appeared when alterations were being made to the Tower which obviously did not please him. The ghost was reported to have struck at a wall of the Tower with a cross, and the wall immediately collapsed. The author said, "Outspoken in life he was obviously attempting to make his views known in death."
