The Good Ghost Guide

The Good Ghost Guide is a gazetteer of more than 1,000 reported hauntings, ghost sightings, legends and other unexplained phenomena across England, Scotland and Wales. John Brooks presents the material as a practical guide to places associated with ghost stories, rather than as a collection of literary tales.

Entries are cross-referenced through a series of maps, giving the book a useful geographical structure for tracing reports from one location to another. Alongside accounts of apparitions and local legends, Brooks acknowledges the uncertainty of such claims, noting that appearances reported at particular times and places cannot be guaranteed. The result is a plainly organised reference to Britain’s haunted-site traditions.
