Haunted Boston

Haunted Boston gathers reported hauntings from the historic Lincolnshire town, linking ghost stories to its medieval buildings, streets and local traditions. Among the accounts are ghostly friars said to linger where a thirteenth-century monastery once stood, and the story of Sarah Preston, whose cries of ‘Pestilence!’ are reportedly heard before her apparition appears to leap from St Botolph’s Church.

Gemma King also examines Church Key Studio, alleged former home of Sarah Preston, where successive occupants have claimed that another presence remains. The book presents these stories alongside Boston’s architectural and historical setting, treating apparitions, voices and lingering presences as local reports rather than established fact. It offers a concise record of the town’s best-known supernatural traditions.
