A Host of Hauntings

A Host of Hauntings records Peter Underwood’s quarter-century of psychic investigation through reports of seances, unexplained voices, curious odours, mysterious noises and other alleged phenomena. The book presents these experiences as investigated accounts rather than simple fireside legends, reflecting Underwood’s interest in witnesses, incidents and the circumstances surrounding them.

Among the featured cases are Langenhoe, described as the first official ghost hunt, the reported haunting of Borley Rectory and the strange accounts linked with the Tulip Staircase at the Queen’s House in Greenwich. Together, these investigations place celebrated British hauntings alongside the practical details of ghost-hunting work, including the observations and experiences that gave each case its enduring reputation.
