Haunted Farnham

Haunted Farnham surveys reported ghost stories and paranormal incidents associated with the Surrey town, beginning with Farnham Castle and its long historical importance. Peter Underwood also considers the parish church, Waverley Abbey, manor houses and other buildings whose reputations have acquired supernatural associations.

The account moves through pubs, hotels, homes, shops and streets, combining local traditions with first-hand testimony and cases investigated by Underwood. Among the reports is a phantom bird said to have appeared at a house in West Street, alongside accounts connected with Farnham’s older properties and public spaces. More than 60 photographs accompany this local study, which records the people, places and stories behind Farnham’s enduring ghost lore.
