Cornwall's Haunted Houses

Cornwall’s Haunted Houses brings together accounts of twelve houses associated with haunting reports, adding one haunted field to the collection. Margaret Caine and Alan Gorton place each location within its local and domestic history, rather than presenting the reported apparitions in isolation.

The book considers the families linked with these properties alongside the traditions and stories that have gathered around them. Its short, focused format makes room for a series of concise case histories centred on Cornish buildings, their former occupants and the claims attached to particular places. The result is a local study of haunted-house lore shaped by architecture, family history and oral tradition.
