Haunted Gardens

Haunted Gardens gathers reported ghost stories linked with gardens in England and Scotland, then extends its survey across continental Europe, the United States and Australasia. The settings range from cultivated grounds and historic estates to gardens whose reputations have grown through repeated local accounts.

Peter Underwood presents these cases as a researched collection of garden hauntings, drawing attention to the stories attached to particular places rather than treating them as established fact. The book is illustrated with his own photographs, adding visual context to accounts of apparitions, uncanny encounters and traditions associated with landscaped grounds. Its international scope places British garden lore alongside reports from further afield, showing how gardens can become settings for enduring ghost stories.
