Product Description

Book Description
A comprehensive examination of new and little known material concerning the famous Brontë family and their involvement with occult practices. Foreword by Peter Underwood, President and Chief Investigator of the Ghost Club Society, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

From the Publisher
Essential reading for any serious Brontë student, including the Brontës occult connections, new information regarding Jack the Ripper (1888) in Bradford, the death of Johnnie gill and the Haworth highwayman James Sutcliffe, hung at York. See the Brontes in a different light, their stranger/darker side; explore new material and fresh evidence about the Ripper case; digest new information about 'The Golden Dawn' - a Victorian occult group in Bradford; examine the Brontë birth charts. This is an eye-opener offering a unique look at the little known or forgotten facts relating to the Brontës and their part of West Yorkshire, its people and places that the Brontës lived and visited.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing compendium of unusual information!, 4 Nov 2001
By denny@tusan.karoo.co.uk (East Yorkshire. England) - See all my reviews
This is a seriously researched book and absolutely stuffed with unusual but factual information concerning the Brontes of Howarth. I have never before come across a book written on this famous family which looks at their fascination with the occult and the supernatural. In addition the book explores a number of local legends, ancient folklore, detailed illustrations of the Brontes astrological birth charts, ghosts and hauntings, witchcraft, stone circles, wizards, the Order of the Golden Dawn, the Theosophical Society, and mysterious deaths and murder. The book also boasts an impressive foreword by Peter Underwood -President of the Ghost Club Society. At over 200 pages this book is groaning at the seams with strange revelations on the darker side of the Bronte's heritage. It also includes a host of photographs and illustrations never before published. I think anyone remotely interested in the Bronte family will find this book fascinating and DEMAND it for Christmas. A rivoting read and excellent value for money.
