Supernatural Lancashire [Paperback]

Peter Hough (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 31, 2003

Supernatural Lancashire delves into the mysteries, myths and strange phenomena of the old county of Lancashire. From Windermere in the north to Warrington in the south, Liverpool in the west and Manchester in the east, the author has produced a thoroughly researched and entertaining book. Supernatural Lancashire includes stories of ghosts, witchcraft and mermaids, plus cases of close encounters, poltergeists and alien big cats. Read about the dark forces released during a performance of The Devil Rides Out at Liverpool's Neptune Theatre, the lift in a derelict Southport hotel which continued to operate even while it was being demolished, the puma-like creature that terrified a teenage girl in Bolton, a UFO which hovered over a car in Nelson, draining it of power - and much, much more. There is also an 'A-Z of Phenomena' for those who want to know more. For those readers who wish to visit places of mystery, Peter Hough has included details of locations. If you are interested in a tour of Pendle's witch villages, a walk through Tolkien's Middle-earth, or a visit to a haunted house, then look no further - it's all here in Supernatural Lancashire.
