Ghost Stories
Ghost stories from the UK and Ireland are steeped in ancient folklore, hauntingly rich with chilling spectres, eerie landscapes and a deep connection to the region’s history and myths. Some of the most famous writers contributing to this tradition include M.R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu, Algernon Blackwood, E.F. Benson and Charles Dickens.
