Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland

Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland surveys reported apparitions and ghost stories attached to castles across Britain and Ireland, arranged region by region. Richard Jones brings together traditions of ghostly queens, wandering monks and other lingering figures, including accounts associated with the Tower of London and the white lady said to haunt Skibo Castle. The stories are presented alongside the histories of the places where they are set, linking tales of violence, imprisonment and loss with ancient fortifications and ruined strongholds.

The book combines narrative accounts with photographs, detailed four-colour maps and extracts from original documents. Its coverage ranges from celebrated landmarks to lesser-known castles, providing a geographically organised reference to reported hauntings, local traditions and the historical settings behind them. Bibliographical references and an index support further investigation.
