Paranormal Essex

About this book

David Scanlan and Paul Robins take an A–Z journey through haunted Essex, combining well-known cases with accounts from places that receive less national attention. Borley Rectory and the legacy of witchfinder Matthew Hopkins sit alongside modern investigations at Coalhouse Fort, the Red Lion Hotel in Colchester and Kelvedon Hatch Nuclear Bunker. The book mixes local history, reported apparitions and the authors’ own paranormal interests to build a county-wide picture of Essex ghost lore, from historic buildings to twentieth-century sites with much newer reputations for strange activity.
