Haunted Isle of Sheppey

Haunted Isle of Sheppey gathers reported apparitions and ghost stories from the Kent island’s marshes, coastline and old buildings. Neil Arnold considers how these distinctive locations have become associated with tales of haunting and other uncanny encounters.

The accounts include spectral smugglers, ghostly animals and phantom monks, placing local traditions alongside the island’s windswept landscape and long-established structures. Written by folklorist Neil Arnold, the book presents Sheppey as a compact setting with a surprisingly varied body of reported supernatural lore, rooted in particular places and the stories attached to them.
