In Search of Britain's Haunted Castles

In Search of Britain’s Haunted Castles gathers reported hauntings and ghost traditions from more than 60 castles across Britain. Marc Alexander and Paul Abrahams pair each account with historical background, showing how stories of spectral inhabitants are often connected with battles, executions, sieges and other violent episodes. The result is as much a guide to castle history as to local ghostlore.

Entries include the alleged vampire associated with Alnwick Castle, the spectral figures and unexplained sounds reported at Arundel Castle, and many other castle legends. Maps, photographs and visiting information accompany the accounts, making the book useful for tracing the locations behind Britain’s best-known tales of haunted strongholds.
