Product Description

Product Description
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.

About the Author
Owner of the London tour company 'Discovery Walks', Richard Jones has a passion for all things haunted and spooky. He is also the author of the highly successful Walking Haunted London (New Holland, 1999). Richard Jones lives in South Woodford, East London.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant book, 14 April 2004
By Thomas Evans (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
Richard Jones has explored the length and breadth of the UK looking for fascinating and mysterious tales of ghosts and spirits, and his journey ends with the publication of this book. A well known historian, Jones has written several books including a quide to London's ghosts (Walking Haunted London, also well worth a look) and is perhaps best known for his role as historian on the cult show Most Haunted. The book is heavily illustrated with large colour photographs, which accompany a lively and interesting text which admittedly isn't as detailed as could have been, but this is only a slight critique on my behalf - a very worthy addition to anybody's bookshelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars Whatta great read!, 25 April 2003
By H. Doherty "Movie maven" (Wenatchee, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative read, 4 Nov 2001
By wellben60@hotmail.com (Darlington, England) - See all my reviews
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.
