The British Isles must be amongst the most spectrally populous parts of the world, and this book is a must for anyone interested in the ranks of dismembered, decapitated spectres that inhabit the country's stately homes and blasted heaths.Region by region, renowned ghost-seeker Richard Jones reveals, explains and delights in the tales of tortured phantoms eager to restage their dark and turbulent past. They are all included here, from the ghostly legionaries that tramp the long-buried streets of Roman York to the malevolent fairy lights of Derbyshire's Longdendale - and from the shade of Lapford's murderous vicar to the grief-stricken white lady who may or may not have attended Madonna's wedding at Dornoch's legendary Skibo Castle.Richard Jones' authoritative and entertaining guide to haunted sites is handsomely designed and illustrated throughout with extraordinary ghostly photographs, detailed, four-colour maps and extracts from original documents.

This book is for anyone who has an interest, even a partial interest in ghosts and hauntings. it is a fascinating book with plenty of locations that cover every corner of the british isles. Jones as with his other books, he set each chapter out in areas, e.g. south-west, south-east etc.its set out very well.
i read this book in two days,i couldnt put it down.
the stories are fascinating and the pages are full of brilliant colour photos.this really is a great book. the stories of the ghosts and hauntings are covered very well without drawing them out or going into too much detail.
i thoroughly enjoyed this book.reading the stories and gazing at the magnificent photos.i would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in ghosts, and even to those who dont.you wont find a better, more attractively set out book on the subject of ghosts.

I started reading this book and just couldn't put it down! I've watched 'Ghosthunters' a few times and was surprised to see some of the places mentioned on the show in this book. The accompanying pictures were great in getting a place in mind. If you want to read about the haunted history of the UK..then read this book!

I liked this book. The author has wittily narrated a collection of ghost stories from the British Isles. The pictures are colourful and apt making way for an entertaining read.
In conclusion i would recommend this book especially to those with an interest in the paranormal and also to the general reader. Hugely entertaining.
