Haunted Devon

Haunted Devon gathers reported ghost stories from across the county, bringing together accounts of apparitions, manifestations, phantoms and spirits. Ian Addicoat draws on historical, scientific and contemporary sources to present both familiar local tales and less well-known accounts connected with Devon’s places and communities.

Among the stories are the ghost of Isabella, personal messages associated with Peggy Penny and an account of a ghost tour around Boringdon Hall. The book treats these episodes as reported experiences and traditions, preserving the details that have given them a place in Devon’s darker folklore. Its compact collection moves between named apparitions, personal encounters and stories rooted in the county’s historic locations.
