Haunted Houses You May Visit

Marc Alexander’s Haunted Houses You May Visit gathers reports of apparitions and other ghostly manifestations linked with historic houses open to the public across Britain. The accounts include spectral figures, screaming skulls, gliding monks and white ladies, alongside stories shaped by local history and long-standing tradition.

Examples include Sandford Orcas in Dorset, said to have 14 ghosts ranging from the Stinking Man and Wicked Priest to the Screamer. Glamis Castle appears through its white lady and bloody history, while Windsor is associated with four royal ghosts. The book presents these houses as places where reported hauntings, historical memory and visiting possibilities meet, without suggesting that an encounter is guaranteed.
