The Cambridge Ghost Book, Halliday and Murdie, 2000, records that in 1954 there was a sighting of a ghost in Silver Street close to the Anchor. A student from Queens’ College followed the figure of an old man with long thinning hair and a morning coat. When the student was within two paces of the figure it disappeared. He then wrote a detailed account of the experience which he sent to the Society for Psychical Research. The Society president, Frederick Stratton, University Professor of Astrophysics was convinced of the sincerity of the account.
