About this book
Haunted Hull gathers reported ghost stories from across the East Yorkshire city, placing its apparitions and poltergeist accounts against Hull’s long history as a port and heavily bombed wartime city. The collection includes tales associated with pubs, churches and a shopping centre, alongside recurring local figures such as the Floating Vicar, Little Emily and Old Mother Riley.
Among the featured locations is Ye Olde White Harte, where witnesses have described footsteps, a dark shrouded figure and other unexplained encounters. Riley also records stories connected with the Lady in the church and other phantoms, drawing on local experiences and traditions. More than sixty photographs and illustrations accompany these accounts of Hull’s reported haunted places.
