Nights in Haunted Houses

Nights in Haunted Houses brings together Peter Underwood’s accounts of overnight vigils and investigations at buildings associated with reported paranormal activity. The emphasis is on what investigators encountered, what witnesses described and how individual cases developed over time.

Among the locations are Langenhoe Manor House, Newark Park and Nottingham Council House, alongside the reported disturbances at Shingle Hall and Eton Vicarage. Underwood also examines the Tulip Staircase in the Queen’s House, Greenwich, and the story of nine-year-old Isabelle at Berry Pomeroy Castle. The result is a case-based record of haunted houses and ghost-hunting expeditions, presenting apparitions, noises, physical sensations and other claims as documented experiences rather than established fact.
