My grandma read me the beginning of a book when I was a kid that I've never been able to find. It starts with a description of pea-soup fog, saying it was so thick it could give you webbed feet. The protagonist was a kid who lived with some elderly relatives at an inn or something. Two guys show up during the fog doing some kind of sideshow, claiming one of them had been hanged three times and lived. A rare coin goes missing while they're in town. And that's as far as we made it. None of my grandma's kids or other grandkids know it. Probably from the 40s-60s.

Runcible Cat posted:It rings a vague bell... maybe something by Sid Fleischman? Or The Black Symbol by Annabel & Edgar Johnson? I've got a copy of that around somewhere; if I can find it I'll check. Found it! Thanks!! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/350588.The_Ghost_on_Saturday_Night
