Chester, City of Ghosts

Chester, City of Ghosts brings together reported hauntings from the city centre, placing stories of apparitions, poltergeist activity, unexplained sounds and sudden coldness against Chester’s long history. Cameron includes accounts from hotels, pubs, churches and private homes, alongside incidents involving a monk, a woman by an open fire and a disembodied head reported in a converted house.

Maps and descriptions of local buildings help connect each account with Chester’s streets and landmarks. The historical setting reaches from Iron Age settlement and the Roman fortress through the medieval castle and Civil War destruction, while the book also records newer reports gathered through Cameron’s work as a city guide and ghost-tour leader.
