Gazetteer of British Ghosts

Gazetteer of British Ghosts presents an A–Z survey of reported hauntings across the United Kingdom, linking ghost stories to specific houses, buildings and localities. Each entry identifies where an apparition was said to appear, considers the figure’s probable identity, and records the witnesses and evidence connected with the account.

Underwood includes cases such as the historical haunting associated with Aspley Guise, the ghost reputedly encountered at the Ferry Boat Inn in Holywell, Huntingdonshire, and Sir Edmund Verney’s reported appearance at Claydon House. The result is a place-based reference work that brings together local tradition, named testimony and the surviving details of individual haunting claims, while reflecting the author’s long-standing interest in investigating British ghost lore.
