Weekend Book of Ghosts

Weekend Book of Ghosts is an edited collection of reported apparitions, haunting accounts and ghost lore, assembled within the popular British supernatural-book tradition of the 1970s. Richard Whittington-Egan presents the material as a varied gathering of stories rather than a single investigation, bringing together accounts associated with haunted places and traditions across Britain.

The book forms part of Whittington-Egan’s wider Weekend series, which also included later volumes devoted to ghosts and horror. Its interest lies in the range of testimony and folklore collected under one cover, reflecting the period’s appetite for accounts of uncanny encounters while leaving the question of their explanation open. It is a compact source for readers tracing British ghost literature and reported hauntings.
