Cambridge Ghosts

Cambridge Ghosts gathers reported apparitions and haunting traditions from the university colleges, city-centre premises, suburban locations and the wider district. Its arrangement follows these geographical groupings, making the book suitable for tracing Cambridge’s ghost lore by area rather than by an alphabetical list of sites.

The authors also include places beyond the city, among them the Old Vicarage at Grantchester, Madingley Hall, Sawston Hall and the Old Ferry Boat at Holywell. Wider context comes from discussions of M. R. James, T. C. Lethbridge, the Society for Psychical Research and the Ghost Club, whose Cambridge history reaches back to 1851. The book revises and expands the authors’ earlier The Cambridge Ghost Book.
