Product Description
Synopsis
The British Isles are arguably amongst the most spectrally populous parts of the world - this guide is aimed at anyone interested in the ranks of dismembered, decapitated spectres that inhabit the countries' stately homes and blasted heaths. Region by region, ghost-seeker Richard Jones reveals, explains and delights in the tales of the tortured phantoms eager to restage their dark and turbulent pasts. The cast of characters ranges from ghostly legionaries that tramp the long-buried streets of Roman York to the malevolent fairy lights of Derbyshire's Longendale, from the shade of Ladford's murderous vicar to the grief-stricken white lady who may or may not have attended pop singer Madonna's wedding at Skibo Castle. The book is illustrated throughout and features extracts from original documents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whatta great read!, 26 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 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 An informative read, 5 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.
