Matthew Manning grew up in an old house, a house we're led to believe that has a ghost. In this instance, though, the ghost believes that he's still alive (for the most part) and living in the early 18th century. He ponders what these people, these Strangers (the Manning family), are doing living in his house.

Manning portrays an accurate and believeable tale concering his encounters with Richard Webbe, a 17th century 'Gentleman' with whom he corresponds through automatic writing. Webbe 'proves' his authenticity by having 500 people from the village (albeit the village from the 14th-19th century) inscribe their names on the wall of one of the rooms.

A very interesting book, this will keep you enthralled and, as a bonus, also has a strange twist at the end. Thoroughly recommended.

This book was very interesting...and not just because my name is William E. Webbe V. Indeed, I wonder if these Webbe's are my relatives...freaky account of a super-natural encounter with "The Strangers".

Matthew Manning - I believe what you are telling us in this book has got to be true!
