Haunted Tyneside

Haunted Tyneside gathers reported ghost stories from across the region, covering apparitions, unexplained phenomena and poltergeist activity. Darren W. Ritson includes accounts associated with Tynemouth Priory, Newcastle’s Jin Jameson and the haunting of Willington Mill.

The book also examines the South Shields Poltergeist case alongside other tales drawn from historical and contemporary sources. These accounts present Tyneside’s supernatural traditions through reported encounters, local stories and cases said to have affected people in homes and public places. Previously unpublished material sits alongside better-known narratives, creating a compact collection rooted in the history and folklore of Tynemouth, Newcastle, Willington Mill and South Shields.
