Llandilo
The Welshman (08/08/1845) reported that 'Hinkin Bob' of Church Street, Landilo, had been running about at night in a large white sheet, puffing a pair of bellows, in an attempt to frighten people. On Friday 1st August a group of locals gave him a severe ducking in the river Towy as recompense!
PUNISHING A GHOST. A person residing in Church Street, in the town of Llandilo, generally known by the cognomen of Hinken Bob, has for a long time been in the habit of frightening females by going out between 10 and 11 o'clock at night, covered with a large white sheet, & having a pair of bellows in his hand. He followed them, and puffing at them, drove them into fits. On Friday night last, a few of the young men of the town, determined upon punishing him for his foolish and dangerous antics, went down and found his ghostship perched upon the churchyard wall; they immediately seized him, and sans ceremonie carried him down to the river Towy, and gave him a severe ducking. What makes his conduct appear more ridiculous is that Ghost Bob is the father of five children.
