Haunted Britain and Ireland

Richard Jones surveys more than 100 reported haunted places across Britain and Ireland, arranging the material region by region. The locations include stately homes, castles, inns, streets and open heaths, with accounts ranging from Roman legionaries said to haunt York to the strange lights associated with Longdendale in Derbyshire.

Alongside each ghost story, Jones gives historical context for the events and people connected with the location. Other accounts include Lapford’s murderous vicar and the white lady linked by tradition with Skibo Castle. Photographs, maps, extracts from original documents and opening poems for each chapter add context and atmosphere to this illustrated study of British and Irish hauntings.
