Peter Underwood's Guide to Ghosts & Haunted Places

Peter Underwood’s Guide to Ghosts & Haunted Places gathers material on reported apparitions, psychic activity and haunted locations from across a broad range of settings. Castles, stately homes, churches, theatres, pubs, prisons and hospitals appear alongside battlefields, roads and other places associated with ghost stories and unexplained experiences.

The book also considers time-slips, cyclic ghosts, poltergeists and accounts involving dogs and other animals. Further subjects include ghostly traditions, famous people said to have appeared after death, unexplained aerial phenomena and objects believed to possess supernatural powers, including Tutankhamen’s battle trumpets. Drawing on case histories and Underwood’s personal experience, it presents a varied survey of reported hauntings and psychic occurrences.
