Haunted Worthing

About this book

Haunted Worthing gathers reported encounters and local traditions from the seaside town and its surrounding countryside. Among the accounts are an eight-foot monk apparently reading a prayer book, a young girl whose hair is stroked by an unseen hand, and two child-like figures captured on security cameras. The collection also considers a famous musician said to revisit his former home and a painting reputed to shed salty tears.

Wendy Hughes extends the geographical scope to historical sites linked with ghost stories and curious visitors, including Cissbury Ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Arundel Castle. Together, these reports place Worthing’s modern ghost lore alongside older landscapes whose reputations have accumulated over generations.
