Haunted Heritage

Haunted Heritage surveys reported hauntings associated with historic places in England, setting ghost stories alongside the buildings, ruins and landscapes to which they belong. The book treats these locations as part of the country’s cultural inheritance, showing how tales of apparitions and lingering presences become attached to sites with long and sometimes troubled histories.

Among the locations associated with its contents are Lindisfarne Castle, where traditions include the ghost of St Cuthbert, a phantom white dog and a soldier, and Minster Lovell Hall, linked with the story of a bride who disappeared during a game of hide-and-seek. An index supports the book’s use as a reference to England’s haunted historic places.
