British Ghosts, January 4, 2006
This review is from: A Gazetteer of British Ghosts: An Illustrated Guide to 236 Haunted Sites (Frontiers of the Unknown) (Hardcover)
This unique reference book and guide to the ghost population of the British Isles covers a subject that fascinates and, at the same time, terrifies mankind. The ghosts of Britian are numerous. Here for the first time, catalogued and placed in alphabetical order, are well over two hundred accounts of ghostly happenings ranging from the legendary to the factually presented and the scientifically investigated.
Included are details not only of the famous haunted houses as Borley and Bettiscombe, Hampton Court and Hinton Ampner, Glamis and Great Bealings but also lesser known hauntings such as those associated with Woburn, The Gargoyle Theatre in Soho, St. Albans and Bury St. Edmunds. The author has also assembled a wealth of new material pertaining to such hauntings as those at Sandringham, Thames Ditton, Penzance, Greenwich and Grantchester. Every entry ends with a nearby recommended hotel.
A Gazetteer of British Ghosts represents the results of a quarter of a century of study and on the spot investigation by one of the leading authorities on haunted houses alive today. -- from book's dustjacket
