Ghost Hunting with Peter Underwood

Ghost Hunting with Peter Underwood examines the longstanding association between reported hauntings and historic houses, from gothic towers and battlements to ruined abbeys where local stories have gathered around old stonework. Peter Underwood considers these settings as part of Britain’s ghost-hunting landscape, combining observations from his work as a former President of The Ghost Club with visual material drawn partly from his own collection.

The book includes more than 60 black-and-white plates and a selected bibliography. Its focus is less on abstract theories than on the buildings, architectural details and traditions that have helped particular places acquire reputations for apparitions and other reported supernatural activity.
