Atlas of Paranormal Places

Atlas of Paranormal Places surveys more than 50 locations linked to ghost stories, witchcraft, sacred traditions, unexplained events and cryptid lore. Its worldwide selection ranges from the Chase Vault in Barbados and Charleville Castle in Ireland to La Paz’s witch market, Iceland’s Gunnuhver Mud Pool and Turkmenistan’s Door to Hell.

Arranged across haunted places, witchcraft, sacred sites, myths and legends, strange nature, and cryptids and creatures, the book presents reports and traditions attached to both natural landscapes and human-made sites. Alongside hauntings, it considers stories involving aliens, moving rocks, strange lights and other phenomena, while recounting what is said to have happened and what explanations have been proposed.
