Haunted Chatham

Haunted Chatham gathers reported ghost stories and local legends from Chatham, Kent, bringing together accounts associated with houses, shops and historic sites. Neil Arnold includes both obscure and familiar stories, with particular attention to traditions connected with Chatham Dockyard and Fort Amherst.

The book also presents testimony from people who reported experiencing unexplained phenomena, alongside material appearing in print for the first time. Illustrated throughout and supported by bibliographical references, it records the town’s ghost lore through location-based accounts rather than treating every claim as established fact. The result is a concise portrait of Chatham’s haunted reputation, rooted in its buildings, military history and long-standing local storytelling.
