Haunted Bodmin Moor

Haunted Bodmin Moor brings together reported apparitions, local legends and dark histories from Cornwall’s granite upland. Jason Higgs begins with the moor’s prehistoric monuments and settlements before turning to stories associated with Bodmin town, nearby parishes and villages, and the unresolved murder of Charlotte Dymond.

The book also visits Davidstow Airfield and War Museum, Jamaica Inn and other inns scattered across the moor. Accounts include the murdered sailor said to haunt Jamaica Inn and the White Lady associated with Altarnun. Alongside historical material and eyewitness testimony, Higgs presents investigations undertaken by himself and the Supernatural Investigations team, treating Bodmin Moor’s ghost stories as claims rooted in particular places and local memory.
