Haunted Land

Haunted Land examines Britain’s haunted places alongside older ideas about how landscape, memory and spiritual experience may intersect. Paul Devereux considers reported hauntings, ghostly traditions and the notion of spirit ways, placing them beside ancient mysteries and modern-day phenomena rather than treating them as separate subjects.

The book also brings shamanism into its discussion of place and perception, linking accounts of anomalous landscapes with older cultural interpretations of the natural world. Its scope includes haunted locations, ghosts and related traditions, supported by bibliographical references and an index. The result is an investigation of how landscapes acquire meaning through stories, beliefs and reported experiences across Britain.
